Buddy Emmons, Danny Boy Track

Dale Rottacker · Post by **Dale Rottacker** » 23 May 2015 5:19 pm

Probably a long shot... I just recently I think I heard a guy on YouTube playing Danny Boy with what sounded like the track used by Buddy when he recorded it...

?, Is there a Buddy Emmons track to Danny Boy out there and if so is there any way to get a copy of it?

Thanks for the help.

Scotty's Mel Bay E9th course includes Buddies Tab for Danny Boy. The course included a cassette tape. It may be on the the tape. I think the course is still available with a CD. It's the course with Scotty on the front cover with a Sho Bud D10.

I have that book Henry, but don’t have or remember the book having a cassette or CD with it... As a matter of fact, I’ve boughten two of those books and gave one to my Dad... he doesn’t remember a recording coming with it either... of course it was many years ago.

I remember when I learned this song always playing it acapella, and never have used a track for it.

I looked up my copy and your right the cassette tape was sold separate from the book. This is Mel Bay's Anthology of Pedal Steel Guitar E9 Chromatic Tuning by DeWitt Scott copyright 1980. The tape number is MB93714C

Thanks Henry... I did just download the files and Londonderry Aire/Danny Boy is there, only its the whole song with Buddy playing which I’ll always love, but its not just the track without Buddy playing, so that I can play along.

Thanks though... I wouldn’t have even thought to look there for the download... I’m not sure that was even available when I bought the book.

TTT... I appreciate the help a couple of youâ€™ve given me, but still looking for the actual track Buddy used... if it even exists.

I don't know about the downloads, but on another PSG course from Mel bay, you can turn off the channel with the steel, so you only hear the backing. It was panneled that way.

Thanks Joachim,

I’ve actually downloaded Danny Boy from Mel’s site and it’s the entire original recording by Buddy, and if it’s possible to split the track or cut the steel out of it I have no idea how that could be done.

So I’m still looking

Big Jim Baron has the Emmons version for BIAB. I use it and the chords are perfect. I also use Heby Wallace's version of Danny Boy and the BIAB track. Herby told me that when he did the tab for Danny Boy that the Emmons company wanted it "exactly" as Buddy's version. I've never A/B'd them, tho.

if it's not exact it's very close and the soundtrack was on one channel with steel on the other.
