DADF#AD usually. Or the same voicing in different keys. My baritone is usually in B and I have a short scale that is usually in F.

Great stuff!!

I'm so very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with my friend Eddie and the rest of his family.

Thanks Guy! And thanks b0b!

Very sad news. I'm sorry for your loss Joe!

With great sadness I made a decision on Saturday not to make the trip.

Hi Jeff. Yes Cage was in Ian and Sylvia's band the Great Speckled Bird and appeared regularly on a weekly TV Show with them. Check out their 1969 album called Great Speckled Bird.

This just in. While the steel player in the video was indeed Bill Herchuck, it has been conveyed from Bob Lucier through a couple of other prominent Ontario steel players that the steel track was pr ...

A sad day for so many of us. He inspired me for many years, and when I got to spend a bit of time with him he was kind and fun to be with.

Hi Allan, yes which makes me irritated that I don't recognize this player. On reflection I actually think I know who it might have been but I'm going to try to confirm! Tommy Spurlock, who I mention ...

Tommy Spurlock played on the studio version as I recall but that's not him in the video. I'll consult with some Tyson alumni.

Thanks Bill - great to see you guys!
