Love this Merle Haggard song. Here is my instrumental arrangement. I had to crank the steel amp up really loud to get the sustain I needed for the intro!

Well David I have to admit I really liked the video.
Great steel playing, and your brothers were also good with their backing. LOL

Love Jon Wayne, that was you on guitar on the left, correct? I can see the steel set up. I'm going to have to pull out Texas Funeral and play it again and have some Applejack!
