  Gentlemen,

  

  Unlike Open Country Joy, I'm alittle more comfortable

  with this tab.....primarily cause its in open D and its

  a slide tune......makes tabbing alot easier.  Charlie,

  you need to work on your slide....sure alot easier

  than trying to figure out "Jesus Maria"!!  :-)

  

  This tune sorta confirms what Dave was talking about

  regarding use of first string for slide....especially the

  2 to 4 move on 1st string...basic Open D slide (open

  G.. its to the 5th fret).  At the same time it also shows

  Leo's use of lower strings for single note lines...

  especially on 12 string.  

  

  I have no clue who wrote this (maybe listed in Bruce's

  page but I haven't checked) but it's a melody from way

  back and not a Leo original...I don't think...sounds too

  familiar.  This *thing* has a *real country* flavor to it.

  Kinda smacks of Nashville steel guitar playing.....

  I can see a 1950's sock hop in some Texas high 

  school gymnasium with the pony-tailed girls and

  white socks and loafer boys slow dancing to this.

  I think Leo has alittle more red-neck in him than he's

  generally given credit for....after all, he lived in Oklahoma,

  Montana, etc.  His covers of Tumbling Tumbleweeds and

  several others are prime examples again.......IMHO.

  

  This is simple yet hard to play all at the same time.

  Charlie...this is a good one to work your slide on.

  Unlike many of Leo's up tempo slide tunes, this thing

  requires some real precision with the slide to make it

  work...otherwise it sounds like a hound dog (or Bassett)

  howling at the moon (ie my rendition).  You gotta be

  dead on with the slide and there are many notes with

  slide were vibrato is *not* in order, ie. you got nail it

  dead on.

  Be honest with you.....I tabbed this out a couple years

  ago....I haven't given it a QA....hope its okay....worked

  back when.  Don't play it alot...fact is...I don't really like

  it that much!  No matter....again, no pride of authorship.

  You see something wrong please let me know.

  

  Dave/John.....now that ya'll done Ice Miner....this leaves only

  one tune left to do on Kottke/Fahey/Lang LP (is that the

  name of it...always get order of names backwards....betcha

  Charlie will set me straight if I'm wrong!).  Forget name of

  last tune (Red and White something) but you said you were

  working on it?
