Some Bakersfield style for Lap Steel

I was fooling around with this great Tom Brumley tune recorded by the Buckaroos, Seven Come Eleven on my lap steel. Nothing but a Magnatone G70 and a Princeton Reverb and me thinking about the great TB. Ain't but a minute long.

Mike,
I like it, get some backing tracks down there give it a real go, sounds great. Anything by Tom has to be worth doing.

Thanks, James. The only reason I shot this video is so I can remember how to play it 2 months from now when I've forgotten it. I don't really like to get involved with tabbing things out. I wasn't concerned about backing tracks or anything like that, but it would probably make it a bit easier and cover up some of the extraneous noises. I've got an old upright bass here and a few guitars, so who knows.... Anyway, it was just a one shot deal, but I like this adaptation.

The tuning is just E9--E B G# F# D B
