Kenny- You mentioning "Georgia Steel Guitar", brings up a story.One guy way years back, who became my friend, used to come in the club and ask me to play Georgia Steel Guitar. I didnt know it. About the 3rd time he came in and asked me, I thought I better learn it. So I Bought the Sheet Music , learned it, it is a nice very pretty steel guitar song. The next time he came in and asked again, I said sure, and played it. You should see the big grin on his face. It was worth it. We always made it a point to try and play all requests , whenever possible. That is what we got paid for. As for Steel Guitar Rag, we always played it for the dancers, then speeded it up on the end......al  . ------------------

When I was with the Third Army Circle A Wranglers at Fort MacPherson, Horace J. "Pappy" Burns was the NCOIC of the Wranglers. One day the subject of Jerry Byrd's SGR recording came up and someone in the group asked me if I knew "Pappy" had played bass on the recording. I said I didn't, and then "Pappy" volunteered that SGR came about because they needed one more tune for the session, and the producer wanted Jerry to do SGR. He said Jerry did not want to do it, but finally agreed to, and gritted his teeth all the time he was playing it. |

Keith, it would be a delight to meet you. August is a rather busy month for me, but do call when you get here. I'm sure we can set something up. | |
