Beautiful playing, Baz. I really enjoyed your rendition of Ebb Tide - it's always been one of my favorite tunes.

Great listening, Baz. I loved hearing The Thins We said Today on steel. Was that inspired by Desi Arnaz? ("Let me 'splain a 'thin or two, Lucy!" )
By the way, newer members, if you like these cuts, check out Baz's wonderful Live at the Castaways CDs for more swinging and tasteful steel work.
ps Kind of you not to comment on the two egregious typos on MY post! Typos ... the bane of my professional career.

Just ONE "Typo".. you should see how many there are in the magazine before Pat puts on her editor's cap..
Of course it should be "THINGS" but I was trying to get all the links to work and ignored the spelling of the body text..
Admonished, ostracized and castigated.. but nonetheless happy !!
BTW The spell checker says that "nonetheless" IS a word !! surprise surprise..
BTW we also "Love Lucy"
Did you notice the messing around by me on the plectrum guitar on "Nuages" |

Would that be perchance a "Hankeyism" ? |

Isn't that part of the seldom-heard third verse of the Rogers and Hart tune that goes, "I'm wild again, beguiled again..."? |

There's some good material there.
I think you got the name of number 2 right. It's that famous Hawaiian folk song called "Please tell me the name of this." It goes...
"Please tell me the name of this,
It's much too good a number to miss.
I sit on the beach and sing it out loud,
It never fails to draw a crowd.
I pull out my guitar and we start to roll,
Till my tone bar falls into the hole.
I'd play some more if I knew how,
But they're about to throw me out of the luau...."  |

Number 2 is an old standard called "Pili Me 'Oe" i.e., together with you. Not sure who composed it.
Alan, what's the melody to that song? I'd love to learn and sing it. |

What the heck is a cixelsyd !! I've looked on all my steel guitars and can't find one of those. Am I missing something ? Is this why I'll never amount to anything on the steel ? Should I toss all my guitars in the nearest river ? Oh woe ! Goodbye cruel world !!

Jeff: Does "Pili Me 'Oe" translate to "Please tell me the name of this" ?
The melody of the song ? You can make it up as you go along... |

| Both Ken Ufton and myself used to call it "Cowboy Hula" maybe that's a UK nickname for it !! |

Baz,
My records show that song #2 (Pili Me 'Oe) was written by Charles E. King. |

Thanks for these. Sound pretty good for recording them that long ago!
I was listening to them without looking at the titles and it ran across Nuages, and for a second I thought it the Jerry Byrd intro to Sand, so I can see why (as I've read on here) people wondered if he was influenced by Nuages... Nice fretting! |

The resemblance to Sand was what attracted me to the song as well. Both songs are in our Wine Country Swing repertoire.
