My Elusive Dreams and Schemes

Post by Dennis Bailey »

Here is "My Elusive Dreams and Schemes". IMHO one of the most beautiful songs ever written....back when Country was Country.

Dennis, After hearing you play this song in January I cannot get it out of my head. I plan on playing it at Tyler and the Texas show. Thanks for playing it and I enjoyed the video.

There is a video of Buck Grantham playing this song on YouTube. He does a very good job on this song.

Great straight version. My Elusive Dreams by Tammy Wynette and David Houston is one of my favorite tunes. I have it on 2 different albums. Country Classic from the 60's. And Kings Road, 20 Hits Country Duets. Both may have came from PubCH. It starts in F to F sharp to G. and changes one fret in the 5th chord both times.
