That has to be one of the worst steel solos I've ever heard. Great spirit to it, though!

You're welcome guys.

I agree with you b0b. It just goes to show how much more you can get away with if you're famous. If an unknown had played like that in the same venue, they'd probably have been boo'd and heckled out of the building!

The question I haven't heard anyone address is why a rich, beautiful tone isn't coming out of that nice old Emmons push-pull.

Maybe there is something to this "tone in the hands" business.

Good point Dave! That ought to stir things up.

Rich and famous,that's the key,Ron would'nt make it through the first set in the local VFW,But got to hand it to those OLD guy for hanging in there so long.I guess they need the money.DYKBC.

Man, if only he'd been playin' a black push-pull...

After the kids see this, they will undoubtedly say that Ron Wood is the 2nd best steel player in the world (after Jerry.)

Even so, ya gotta give the guy credit for trying.

Hey! Ronnie stole all of my licks!

Marc Jenkins · Post by **Marc Jenkins** » 15 Feb 2008 8:33 am

That's the first video I've seen of a steel player that I'm definitely better than.

Well, if this doesn't close out the 60s, what will?

Charles Davidson · Post by **Charles Davidson** » 15 Feb 2008 12:27 pm

Marc,You got that rightMakes me feel good to know I finally found a BIG star that even I could blow him off stage,but he will make millions for what I do for 75 or a 100 bucks,LORDY,LORDY.DYKBC.

Lem; I'm surprised that you didn't fall and break your neck!
Poor Ronnie. Perhaps he should have spent more time picking than painting. He could have become quite good.

Got to admit,that ain't bad.Except for the price tag,would perfer one of Ron's paintings over a Picasso any day,at least the got the eyes in the right places.DYKBC.

"The Girl With The Far Away Eyes" is a good Stones country song. I didn't realize they had a video of it until I just checked on You Tube. I would post a link, but I've never done that before. Maybe someone will post it, otherwise I'll give it a try later. They are very young in this video.

Not exactly tab here Manfred; but if you begin with a
2 lb Folgers can full of roofing nails, and shake them out over your guitar, (saving half of them for the chorus) you should be close enough.

The Girl With The Far Away Eyes

Lee Gustafson · Post by **Lee Gustafson** » 17 Feb 2008 4:43 pm

Thanks Richard. Thats the version I was talking about. It loads a little slow, but it's worth the wait. By the way, I love all the songs you put on You Tube.

Dale Gray · Post by **Dale Gray** » 18 Feb 2008 9:07 am

Didnt have a clue those guys could make music, or something close to it, at least the camera man got most of right. (Does it have to be a Folgers can?)
