Well? What do ya' say ladies and gentlemen? Favorite intro of all time. It's hard to narrow it down to just one, but I'll start the ball rolling with "Nightlife". Robbie SGWM |

One of 'em is "I've Just Destroyed the World by Conway,, I mean John Hughey. I get a serious case of chicken skin listening to that one. |

my favorite is a Johnny Paycheck tune called "Florance Jean" with Loyd Green. (I can never remember how to spell Mr. Greens' first name. Forgive me.) All the best,-Andy |

I am still amazed by how Jerry Garcia kicked off "Teach Your Children" by CSN&Y. Incredibly clean!! ------------------ |

"Night Life" probably changed the course of "country blues" for pedal steel,& I'll have to include it as one of my favorites but,does anybody remember Buddy's counterpoint intro on Ray Price's,"Touch My Heart"? ------------------ |

After hearing it again a couple times recently, I gotta go with one of the most highly UNDER rated steel players of our time. Pete Drake's intro on Gary Stewart's She Actin' Single (I'm drinkin' Doubles). I think it's that little quiver he gives at the end of the lick that just slays me. BTW, If you think Pete played too simple, I dare ya to try to cop his licks note for note and capture the expression just right...ain't so easy as ya think, is it? |

Some of you guys are going to say "oh yeah, of course!" after this submission: Buddy's intro and turnaround to "Are You Sure," again on the Night Life album. A classic using strings 1, 6, and 9 with soulful B pedal usage. "Friends, it is sundown around our house, as we make this new post on the Steel Guitar Forum..."

There are many great intros, but I will have to go along with Bobby Lee on this one. |

Mine is a tie between CSN&Y "Teach Your Children" (it's sooo easy, but I still can't duplicate the perfection of Garcia's elegant intro) and Judy Collins' "Someday Soon". I saw Emmons with her on a Smothers Brothers show about then and was blown away -- still haven't quite recovered. |

With all the great intros mentioned here, how could anyone even think of"Teach your children"? Now here are some Great ones. One's on the way, When the Tingle becomes the chill, Dont come home a drinkin! All 3 of course were by Loretta/Hal Rugg |

How about John Hughey's intro for Conway's "Last Date"? That little bend he puts in it knocks me out. |

"oh yeah, of course"!!! are you sure THIS is where you want to be? Herb- that dern NightLife album has MOST of my favorite intro's straight forward, but oh so tasty.... "Rainbows All Over Your Blues" JB Sebastian w/ Emmons But aside from the Emmons intros howsabout:
"don't Come Home A Drinkin'" Lorretty w/ Hal Rugg "Once A Day" Connie w/ Weldon Myrick and my final answer: SLOWLY BUD ISAACS W/ Webb Pierce (please pardon the broken Real Audio Links on the Slowly Page- I'll fix 'em over the long weekend- Seems Real Networks "upgraded" their player so far that it isn't compatible with old soundfiles made by their own products... sheesh) [This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 20 April 2000 at 05:57 AM.] |

Come on fellows  It just has to be Hal Rugg's "One's On The Way". Just hasta be hoss Seriously, there are soooo many. Much of them listed above. But don't forget, Buddy Emmons' "Half a Mind". Especially the multiple and "pedaled" harmonics at the end of the kickoff and break. And as mentioned, John Hughey's "Look at US". Very difficult to ever top this one. In fact I would be hard pressed to decide on which one of the above 3. So I will just have to leave it as a triple heat! With maybe Hal's a micro, micro, micro millimeter ahead. God bless, carl |

I'd probably go with "Night Life" although like DVA, I always feel constrained to mention "Rainbows All Over Your Blues." There's another great intro by Buddy that should be mentioned, though. "Houston" by the Gatlins. ------------------ |

Let me add my two cents: Night Life-of course, Teach Your Children (I started learning the steel to that one), Someday Soon, Lay Lady Lay and Pass Me By (again, Pete Drake), Divorce (Lloyd is always fine), Dark End of the Street (Sneaky Pete with the Burritos),and Sleepwalk (the lick that launched a thousand steel players).

Three of the sweetest intros ever done for E.T. by the "Big E" were: "I Cried a Tear", "Blue Christmas", "Half a Mind". Everyone should give these a listen(1958-60). |

"In The Jailhouse Now" done by Buddy Charlton and sang by Ernest Tubb. Nightlife is an automatic! Buddy Emmons changed the world with that one song! |

So so many. Conways "I've Just Destroyed The World". John just nevers seems to run out of neck on that there steel giter of his. Loretta's "One's on the way" is way too cool, too. Man, they just don't make records like that anymore. ------------------ |

How about "My weakness is too strong" by Emmons of course. The ride ain't too shabby either.That's about as creative as I've heard. |

Just about everything Emmons did on Darrell McCall"s CD"s will curl your hair. Like on "Dreams OF A Dreamer". By the way, have you ever heard Franklin"s entro and solo on "Teach Your Children"?. Awesome. |

I've got to give some recognition to the guy who first inspired me....Rusty Young - How about "What Am I Gonna Do" from the second Poco album. Of course, "favorite" could be whatever cool intro you heard last. |

It has to be Curly Chalker's intro on Lefty Frizzell's "Always Late". How many hundreds of times have I heard this and yet it still gives me a thrill. I have to admit you all have done a great job. The intro on Blue Christmas, fantastic. |
