Blue, My, of, Eyes, homemade

Here's an attempt at the old song, "The Great Speckled Bird" on my homemade lap steel. IT could pass for "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes", or "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels". Pootie switched into security mode tonight. He's multi-talented indeed. I hope you enjoy the video.

Thank you Vinylhed! You know, Roy Acuff made a pretty good living with this song and Wabash Cannon Ball.

I love the sound of a lap steel, and you play it well. A great tune as well, I'll have to fish out my Roy Acuff record.

Mike. This is really wonderful. That's not an attempt. It's a triumph.

Than yuo for the comment, Brickdust. It's good to hear from you. I'm like you - busy, busy, busy, but I've been watching your stuff on the Nation. It's getting better all the time. We Wish Yoo on the Christmas album was excellent BTW. See Ya!
