My Take On Poinciana......

[Bill Hatcher]

saw and enjoyed a couple of recordings here of this song and i decided to take a crack at it on my lap steel with many strings. a drum loop...a track of electric bass. some improv with single strings and then some chords. i always liked this tune. saw ahmad jamal play it and did some concerts with the four freshmen who had a hit with it. nice tune.

Nice work, Bill!

[Steve Cunningham]

This is a masterpiece Bill. Beautiful chords.

[Bill Hatcher]

Had a fellow make me a bar that covers all the strings.

[Jim Mckay]

Wow fantastic stuff going on there.
Don't know how you are able to keep unwanted strings muted with all that going on.
That's brilliant Bill.
I'd love to be able to half of what you're doing there.

[Andy Volk]

Bill, that was fantastic! So many textures .... I love the quotes - very Paul Desmondish.

[Mike Neer]

Very cool, Bill!

[Ethan Shaw]

Nice chordal work, Bill!

[Joe Bill Moad]

Bill i need you to come to Oklahoma and give me lessons on my Magnatone Troubador 6 string.
Just teasing you Bill!

You definately got your lap steel tuned and Sounding Bodacious!

That's an interesting approach to the steel!
It reminds me of an Eharp but played by someone who really has it figured out.

[Tim Toberer]

Unbelievable! I love that song, my favorite versions are from Ahmad Jamal, Bill Harris and now Bill Hatcher!
