This is "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", recorded by Glen Campbell. Not sure

...for I have sinned..:-) 

Last night the Country-Western band with which I filled in on bass did the
'Achy-Breaky Heart" as the next to last song of the final set.  Since we were 
short of material, it lasted for almost ten minutes.

I do, however, acknowledge that I did not enjoy singing or playing ABH one 
bit, even for a moment.  I did, however enjoy it when the three lead vocalists
in the band (of which I was one) did a three-way 'round' of ABH, Tulsa Time, 
and the Hokey Pokey.  As D. Van Allen once said on this newsgroup, sometimes
life has his simple pleasures.

Any other working C/W dance band musicians out there on the net who like to 
do horribly cruel and satirical things to country-pop tunes? For that matter,
don't all C/W musicians? :-O

Back to Ol' Possum Eyes (George Jones): Check out some of his
early stuff that's more rockabilly than honkytonk. One is sort
of a 3 little pigs thing where he states that he'll "Huff and
(I'll)puff till I get your love again". Or somesuch.
  This is from the late '50s/early '60s.
  I've got a buddy in Austin who would go see George Jones back
then. He had a flat-top hair cut (as did GJ) and he looked a bit
like George. Since George catted around a bit, lots of fellers
mistook my friend for George since he had been (or was assumed
to have been) making time with these fellers' lady friends. So
my friend got tired of having the snot whipped out'n him and 
ditched the flat-top.
  Now George looks a lot older than my friend (more mileage I
guess).

I just attended a Diamond Rio concert at the Utah State Fair. I wanted to  
say how WONDERFUL they were. They jammed really good, sounded really good,  
and joked really good. They were very energetic and entertaining. It was  
well worth my money, which was a good deal anyway.

I was quite impressed with how good they sounded. It seems like a lot of  
the "new" country talent is getting better and better (good reason for  
them to be awarded ACM "Vocal Group", huh?). I always thought you had to  
expect concerts to be not as good as their recorded stuff, not BETTER.

I have their CD (of course) and like all the songs on it, too. Their new  
stuff sounds just as good. It will be released Oct. 27. Watch for it and  
buy it! 

Does anyone else share my opinion of this great group?

I don't agree with your system. Am I wrong to assume that Dwight Yoakams
version of the song is far more popular than those of Ray Price???

I would vote to give credit either to the original performer or for the
most successfull interpreter of the song, in this case Dwight Yoakam.

First of all I apologize for posting this here, as there is a more
appropriate newsgroup (alt.guitar.tab), but this one's too good
not to share.  

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

This song is tremendous fun to play.  The beat is a 
easy shuffle in 4/4 time.  Play along with the album to
get the feel.  Also to pick up on any mistakes I made with
the lyrics, and to get all the  oh's, and yeah's in the right 
places


I Feel Lucky by Mary Chapin Carpenter (et. al.)
----------------------------------------------

B7 (four bars)
B7
I woke up this morning struggled out of my rack
opened up the paper to the page in the back
E7
It only took a moment for my finger to find
B7
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
F#7
My eyes just about popped out of my head
(hit B once, then damp the strings)
It said the stars are stacked against you girl 
Get Back in bed (resume strummmming)
       E7                 B7
I Feel lucky       I feel lucky
     F#7
No professor Doom gonna stand in my way
(hit B once than damp the strings)
   Mmmmmm     I feel luck today

B7  (four bars)
(second verse, same chords as the first)

I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of camels, a Burrito and a Barks
Crossed against the light, and made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, the wind began to moan
I heard a voice above say "Girl you better get back home"
but I feel luck,     I feel lucky
No tropical depression gonna take my sun away
Mmmmm   I feel lucky today.

Guitar solo  E7 (two bars) B7 (two bars) F#7 (two bars) B7(one bar)
F# (one bar)

Third verse almost the same as the first

Eleven million later, I'm sitting at the bar
I bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, giving me the eye
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
(keep strumming on a B through this line)
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
I feel lucky  oh oh oh  I feel lucky  yeah 
(chording starts to deviate here)
F#7
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
B7
Hot Dog, I feel lucky tonight
       E7               B7
I feel lucky,    I feel lucky
F#7
Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
(do that damping thing with a B again)
Mmmmmm    I feel luck today

Here the album version differs from the radio version. the radio
version has a bar of B and then does a complicated thing before
ending with a D9, then the same chord slid back one fret, then slid
                    back two more frets to a B9
 |--|--|--|--|-0|   The album version does basically the same thing
 |--|--|--|--|-0|   except they interpose another guitar solo before
 |--|--|--|--|-0|   the bar of B.  The thing to the left is a D9. 
 |--|--|--|-0|--|   The note on the high E string can optionally 
 |--|--|--|--|-0|   be damped to make it easier to play

Last year at the Gettysburg Camporee, Charlie Waller and his band were doing
an impossibly stupid song about a lonely duck, with Charlie doing a bad
Donald Duck imitation.  I found it totally uninteresting until at one
point, Charlie sang "I'm a lonely duck", and the rest of the band came
in (in perfect three part harmony): "Like a duck, like a duck, like a
duuuuuuuuuck, on the run!".   Cracked me up.

George's version of the song called "Elvis is Gone and so are You" is off
of his "One Woman Man" Album recorded around '86, I think.  I don't remember 
who wrote the song, but the album is great!!  (but then I guess the words
"George Jones" and "Great Album" are an oxymoron!!).  A definite "must-buy".

Hi all,

  obviously, this group's netwisdom can be of great help when looking for the
title or the artist of a song. And since the song in question sounds like a
country ballad to me, someone may be able to tell me, who sang/wrote it and
on what record I can find it... So, here's the lyrics (part of it, rather...).

[...]
...she'll just hear that phone
keep on ringin'
off the wall
that's all.

by the time I make Oklahoma
she'll be sleeping
she'll whisper(?) softly
call my name out low

she'll cry just to think
I'd really leave her
though time and time
I've tried to tell her so
she just didn't know
I would really go...

  Maybe some of the words are wrong, but I sure hope for those country experts
:) this won't be no real problem, would it?!

  Many thanx in advance for any hint you can give...

  Jochen.

This moves me to tell the following irrelevant but true and amusing story.  
My friend Sam Beadle used to live the life of an itinerant folk singer.  Once 
he had a gig playing at a small outdoor amphitheater in a park somewhere 
in England.  He was under a band shell, and the audience sat in folding chairs
arranged outside.  It was pouring rain that day, and he expected to just
show up, see nobody there, collect his pay and leave.  But there was
an older gentleman dressed in a yellow slicker sitting in the front row,
and Sam was really moved that this guy had come out in this weather to
hear him.  So he unpacked his guitar and sang several songs of different
varieties and ethnic origins, but somehow the old guy seemed unmoved by
any of them.  So Sam spoke from the stage, saying he'd be happy to sing any 
song, provided only that he knew it.  He thanked the old gent for coming,
and finally asked if he did, in fact, have a request.  Came the reply,
"No, but tell me when you're done, so's I can take the chairs down...."
