Thanks, Jerry. Jimmy has always been a favorite of mine. I would encourage you to get some of his recordings if you can find them.

I've never heard the Jimmy Arnold version. You throw in quite a bit of material that I heard Mike Snider play when I heard him do this...he must have got it from Jimmy? Great stuff.

Thanks, Jody. I was trying my best to cover JA's version of the song note for note. He wrote it, and it was one of the first really advanced things that Al Osteen ever taught me back in the day. I appreciate the kind words - that's high praise from a musician like you.

That's some great pickin' there Jim. Enjoyed that a lot. You ever play "Hub's Rag"? I always liked Mike Auldridge's dobro break on that tune. I can't remember if it was on Strictly Arnold or Rainbow Ride.
