Priceless

Chris Forbes · Post by **Chris Forbes** » 10 Jul 2002 8:42 am

What tunes are on the new album? and is this strictly instrumental or is there singing? if singing, who does it? in other words, think of every annoying question you can think of and I probably want it answered!![This message was edited by Chris Forbes on 10 July 2002 at 09:43 AM.]

Great stuff! We played it on cuzin Luvern's
CD player in his new Ford all the way home!
Thanks a lot! Everyone for a super time in a super place "Down in Nashville Tennesee" Am
I the only one old enough here that remembers
Cowboy Copas' King recording of that?? or was it Hawkshaw? or did they both do it?? CRS, but I can remember some of the stuff that's gone through my head ever since I first listened to WSM at my school buddy's kitchen
table radio! back about 1942 or so. [This message was edited by Doug Seymour on 11 July 2002 at 11:09 AM.]

No, Paul....that one was Tennessee Saturday Night by Red Foley! I'm talking about....lost my love, down in Nashville Tennessee.....Maybe Jerry Byrd on steel??? not sure. Wish I'd never given away all the 78s I had during my early years! Bobbe told me he used to sneak in & play my steel when I wasn't around!?? Shucks I wouldn't have cared. I didn't even get too mad when he took my Stevens bar away from me and made me try to learn to use a round bar and do it the right way!! The things he learned when I wasn't looking!! I still can't handle a bar
but I'm a-gettin' better. Uncle Doug

Thanks, interesting concept. For your next project, I suggest "Merleless"!!

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 12 Jul 2002 2:42 pm

I never worked with Merle but I could do a great tribute to Johnny Paycheck. I loved his songs and all the music he ever recorded, which was a lot! I'm sure this would make a great album. Lloyd cut many sessions with him. I could even get Lloyd to record some with me I bet. Did you know he (Paycheck) wrote "Touch My Heart"? I feel he would appreciate it also. I'll ask him. Just think of the name possibilitys for this CD. No Paycheck, Paycheckless, "Too much week left at the end of my Paycheck!" Or I could name it after his wife, Ineeda Paycheck.
Well, the "Priceless CD has been shipped and many of you should have it next week.
Give me some feedback on it.

Hey Bobbe;
That is a GREAT idea for your next project!!!..I will 2nd your suggestion on the name " No Paycheck "..I am sure it would make him feel so proud he just might get up from that bed & start doing something again- you just never know..Also; since you worked so much with him;you have an inside track on all of his material-that would be a BIG +++,
And maybe being able to get Lloyd involved on this project would just be superb..I hope you will seriously consider doing it..You will have my full support & am looking forward to hearing the "Priceless" CD..
Thanks Ron

There's a Paycheck song called "Florance Jean", that's a natural steel song if there ever was one. Are you familiar with it, Bobbe? Please do it on the "Paycheck Tribute" CD.
Thanks in advance,
Andy Greatrix

Bobbe... You could mix it with some Johnny Cash stuff and call it "Cash or Check"? " or this Check don't bounce...Not much steel in Cashes stuff tho. How may I obtain Priceless? Is it only available thru Steel guitar Nashburg?

Bobbe, Please do the tribute to Mr. Paycheck! I can already hear Lloyd and yourself swapping licks on " Apartment # Nine"!
Title of the recording:
" One Paycheck Short!"

John Hanusch · Post by **John Hanusch** » 13 Jul 2002 6:17 am

One of my favorite Paycheck songs is "For A Minute There" (early '70's??). I can't remember if it hit the charts, but it's country!!, country!!, country!! It was on his "Song & Dance Man" album -- Epic KE 32570. Good luck & best to you, Bobbe.

FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK !!

Most of us can identify with that feeling as much as we ever ID'd with Take This Job and Shove It !! And I'd like to think we could do it while the MAN is still with us.......

Regards, Paul

I didn't expect this amount of enthusiasum
however,, I didn't on the last one either. ((Price-Less). Joe Casey, you can buy it here from me or in a week, from Bobby-Lee's forum. Bobby's have already been shipped.
I'm really starting to like the idea of a Paycheck tribute myself. "For a minuite There" is one of my favorites too.

Hey, Bobbe you ought to get Jim Vest and Brother Murph in on the Paycheck album too. Hey, and Phil Gazell on harmonica. He and Murph played some hot stuff together in that band.

Chris Forbes · Post by **Chris Forbes** » 13 Jul 2002 10:32 am

Mr. Seymour, sorry, forgive my ignorance. I didn't realize that you had played with Ray Price and the idea was to honor a former employer. Can you get a job for a couple of gigs with Merle so you can do a "Merleless"? I'm sure Norm wouldn't mind taking a couple of nights off.

Allen · Post by **Allen** » 14 Jul 2002 9:12 am

"Priceless" is priceless!!
Got mine the other day and can't stop playing it. Way to go Bobbe!

I will vote for "No Paycheck" for the next endeavor.

Thanks guys, I'm working late at the store now and after not hearing this recording for a month, decided to play it while working. The thing that is striking me strongly now is the incredible job the musicians did in bringing the true authentic "shuffle" feels to the forefront. These guys really put their hearts into making this a great authentic recording of the great Ray Price tradmark sound. As well they should, These guys were on the originals! Pardon me , but I think they are sounding better now!
I wish to take this oppertunity to thank all of these great musicians for their effort in making this CD the quality it is . I'm sure it will be a standard because of their works.
Most of all, I want to thank you great friends on the forum that forced me into this finantually draining, but fun project!
The experience was "Price-Less".

This CD project may have turned out to be more of a tribute to Buddy Emmons and Jimmy Day than to Ray Price though. And why not, where would this Great sound have been today without Buddy and Jimmy?
Yes definitly, they deserve the credit, not Ray or me.
