Love this. Only one Big E!
Why suck at one instrument when you can suck at many?

I think this was tabbed in either in Winnie's or Scotty's books. A great one for all levels of steel, but especially a good one for starting out.

Yes Chris, it is tabbed in Scotty's Anthology instruction booklet. I don't know if it's verbatim, but it's pretty darn close. I used this tab to learn the tune along with other BE tunes in there as well as some other artist's tunes.

Scotty's Anthology tab is really good and easy to read.

The guitar player was Sid Hudson.
That pic of Buddy & Willie at Tootsies is not my mine. I don't know who took it. A great pic,

I got as much good out of Scotty's Anthology book as anything I have ever had. Did Russ Wever have a hand in that book?
Learning that tab will get you a long way.

Russ did tab some tunes Doug. One of those is Mike Smith's Brown Baggin'. Cool piece. I had a hard time keeping it at tempo back then. Might have to give it another try. Still have the book.

Mike's stuff was always great. Russ' too.
