Cant believe I haven't posted any Stevie Ray until now. Was fortunate enough to see the last show he played here, at the what was then Lake Wood Amphitheater, before his death.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
I like Israel's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Back in the 1959 when Hawaii became a state, people were big into their music. That is where the steel guitar came from. Slack key tuning is from there as well. Not sure exactly what came from there or what was brought there from the Portuguese cowboys even before 1959.
Art you have created a monster
Since your post above of the Weissenborn guitar, I have been obsessed. Listening to everything I can find. That sound really has got me.
Its 3:30 am and Im listenng to -
Yeah I listen to some more last night myself. Not til 3:30 though.
I got in to Dobros and Lap Steel music years ago. Slide guitar too.
The Weissenborn sounds more pure and less metallic than the resophonic(Dobro). David Gilmour plays a Weissenborn sometimes. I think Jerry Douglas too. He said he didn't play the lap steel because he thought it might mess up his Dobro playing.
Bob Brozman is pretty good on the Weissenborn. I discovered this guy last night;
