Here is a video from the Oklahoma Steel Guitar Show in Ada,Oklahoma. Buddy Emmons and Hal Rugg both did an excellent job on their versions. I chose the slower version this time around since Hal Rugg inspired me to play this one. I played this for my wife of 22 years Tonya since I am one blessed with a great marriage.

Well done Paul. Your a lucky guy to have such a fine lady!

Thanks Jason for the kind words. I met Tonya in April 1993 and married her in August 1993. That is only four months but it has been great for me. Now we are looking at 23 years coming up in August.

Loved it Paul... you always play some really good stuff... maybe you could tell me what good stuff you were doing right at 7-10 seconds of your video... very very nice!!!

Thanks Dale for the kind words. You put out some nice playing yourself. What you are talking about at 7-10 seconds is strings 2&3 with the B pedal down and drop the 2nd string a whole tone. Let off the lever as the strings are ringing and raise the 2nd string a half tone. My guitar raises 1&2 on the same lever which is my RKL. The 2nd string drop is on my RKR. I hope that explains it if not let me know and I can give you a call.

Very cool Paul thank you. I think I've used that move, Or something similar, A time for two... My guitar is set up at least on the right side I think the same as yours.
