Interesting... I really wasn't talking about who wrote the song but looks like a lot of folks are taking credit?

Not knocking Willie's success but I sorta feel the way Richard S does. I don't dislike Willie in any way but I don't have one song of his on my computer or anywhere. His music just never appealed to me. He is a great song writer and has done a lot for country music. It would however be an honor to get to play behind Willie. Mike's steel was just awesome on the few songs I listened to as it always is.

So all I did is ask Mike which guitar was used and the question is covered up by some Willie bashing which really has nothing to do with Mike's fantastic playing. Geesh????

Good point. I'll delete all my comments.

And actually Craig, you didn't start the thread, so the Willie bashing was not a result of your post.

You are right, bashing Willie had nothing to do with Mikes fantastic playing. Mike even made Willie sound good.
