This is a cover of a number from The Shadows. I've been playing this for years on guitar and thought I would give it a go on steel. I think it worked. I found a Shadows midi of the backing and left it as it was.

[Donny Johnston]

Enjoyed that, really nice.

Another great job Mick. Funnily enough, I was listening to this track in my car this week and thought I would give it a go on steel and resonator. I used to play this tune as a teenager on guitar, and have always thought that it is a nice composition.

Your version is very tasty.

[Uncle Roy]

Lovely job Mick, you are right it fits on steel so well.

[Kay Cook-Abbott]

Good job Mr H. As per had me in tears.

[mick hearn]

Thanks for the comments folks.

Ken. Still do your version and put it here. It would be great to see how you interpret it, and with your experience I am sure that I will find some tips especially with those counterpoint moves that you do. I shall seriously have to get some of those into my playing.

Lovely stuff. There are some great shadows numbers which would work well on pedal steel. Wonderful Land & Atlantis spring to mind.

Nice one Mick, been listening to some of your lap work, really good

[mick hearn]

Just so happens I have already recorded Wonderful Land. Have never put it up anywhere.

I used to busk that one, would like to hear it Mick

[Danny Mitchell]

Sweet melody, Mick. I hadn't heard that before. It sits so well on the steel. Also really enjoyed your last lap post of the Tom Morrell track, right up my street. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
