Buddy tabbed it out in one of his swing books. They're available from Jim Palenscar North County Steels.

I guess John McClung didn't want the Blue Eyes audio by Buddy Emmons after all. Oh well.

Bill, sorry I got way distracted. I'd love the audio and tab also if possible. I just sent you an email re some instruction you'd inquired about a while back, by the way.

for audio and tab, my email is: steelguitarlessons@earthlink.net

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of video of Buddy playing "Blue Eyes" exists? Nothing turned up in a YouTube search...

John

I don't know if you ever found E's 'Blue Eyes' but he does it here at the 12.30 mark.

1988 at Gerry Hogan's Steel Festival.
