I am 48 and have listened to this song since I was 17 (really 13-14) and it still takes me back to the best place! Up on that mountain, us “kids” running around those woods, the adults talking & laughing around the fire, passing to the left, to the right, good people. A time when life was…simpler. I will never let go of those days…it’s all I have now. Those folks sitting around the fire are all gone now, and so its the memories that I still have. May they never leave me. Different generations yet always still a bridge remains. Be well Susan Denton…Ian Rhein Never forgotten “Uncle Michael” you played this tune so well…please take care of Dad. I love you & miss you both very much. A son and nephew still waiting to see you both.
I picked up the guitar after hearing Duane, and the guitar yelled, 'put me down and don't ever touch me again you don't have a clue'!! And the music world dodged a big bullet that day.
Is there any style of music he could not play? Jazz, rock and roll, the Founder of Southern Rock, and now country, cowboy. Man this guy sounds great on everything! It was a sad day for music when we lost Duane.
There's a line in the movie Tombstone, when Wyatt and his posse split up. In saying goodbye, one says to Wyatt "I aint got the words." Seems to apply for a lot of really, really REALLY good songs, like this one!
I'm 66 years young and also fell in love with this song, and my boyfriend , when he was 17 and played it for me.... always takes me back to a beautiful place where I found love.... Always beautiful, endless music. I'll always be listening....🐦🌷
Chad, go back and get your hands on everything the ABB, and Cowboys ever did.. get over to vince Gil, Zac brown, and Greg Allman on midnight rider, 2014, to see what music was like in early 70's Georgia..
As a teen I grew up in Jax watching All these guys from the beginning and their music has been a tremendous influence on my life. Later in life this is the song I sang to both my kids as their lullaby, every night to put them to sleep. Today I sing it to my grandson and he nods out peacefully responding the same way my kids did! It's a beautiful song and an intricate part of our lives!
Love ❤️ this song 🎼Cowboy was a great band they have about four albums out that are fantastic and beautiful From the early 70s incorporating Duane into this song
Just a great dang song!! Never heard this version before and I always thought it was a Clapton original!! Great slide work by the master and wonderful Harmony vocals!!! Makes my day better hearing it!!!🎸🎸🎸
This is a sweet song, but 1971 was not a simpler or gentler time: nostalgia just makes it seem so Remember Viet Nam? Nixon? Segregation? Love this song, but be careful.
Caleb Heney segregation was ended officially in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act. Then the Voting Rights Act in 1965, the Fair Housing Act in 1967 etc. Although school segregation was outlawed by the Warren Court In 1954 in the Case Brown vs. Board of Education, although it still exists in some areas.
Duane left us with so much love and beautiful music. Every note he played was special and poignant. There will never be another slide player like him he had the special touch: great intonation with the right overtones. He really never left us because we have his music and the music is imperishable :)
@@randysmith7652 yes it was Gregg who went out brought Duane his meds in a glass coriciden bottle. Duane dumped out the meds and put the bottle on his left ring finger and played along with "Statesboro Blues" He called Gregg a short time later on and told Gregg to get over here I gotta show you this!. Gregg walks in, Duane is playing slide and Gregg realized how natural he was picking it up as quick as he did. Duane had a great ear for music, he got right on that tune which became their signature tune. Nobody played Statesboro blues wit such power and grace as the ABB
Duane had just left rehab with plans to add a Tower of Power horn section. He wanted to record a tribute album to Coltrane and Miles. Duane was still getting better. He was starting to write songs and he had a voice as good as his brother. He would have gone on to cement his ownership of GOAT and the most important session guitarist in any style.
This song means so much to me. It was the Eric Clapton version, but this is beautiful too. It was my song for my 1st wife who I lost. I love you forever, Suzanne...I miss you everyday of my life.
I have not heard this in a very long time. I simply cried. Duane on dobro just does that to me. Vocals and instruments simply stellar. I saw ABB shortly before this recording. The coming loss was stunning and hard to understand. Death is too difficult and permanent to conceive for one so young and about one so young. It was never the same. It’s still hard. RIP Duane and Berry
some of the finest dobro playing on a truly beautiful early 1970s song. great band, great track - to think what Duanne could've done had he not died so early!
Nobody has ever played with that kind of soul. Rest in peace Brother Duane, you have always been my all time favorite guitar player. Wish you were still with us.
A year later I'm writing this. Just turned 65. These guys' music was the food our souls growing up in Georgia in the early 70's. What a time to be coming of age.. weened on, arguably, the best music ever produced...
I am 48 and have listened to this song since I was 17 (really 13-14) and it still takes me back to the best place! A time when life was…simpler. May it never leave me. Be well Never forgotten Uncle Michael you played this tune so well…please take care of Dad. I love you & miss you both very much.
Duane was once quoted as saying "There are two kinds of people in this World, Cool people and Assholes"... Unfortunately there is not an "Asshole Filter" to keep them from disliking great Art...So be it...Glad for all of the others that enjoy it! Blessings & Sunshine!
❤️REMEMBER DUANE ALLMAN❤️ OCT 29, 2020 RIP BROTHER! 49 years ago, the world lost a legend, a Brother, a son, a father, a friend, and IMO, THE GREATEST GUITARIST THAT EVER LIVED. The world is a better place because of you, Duane. Thank you for leaving such a legacy for us to enjoy. I started playing guitar this year solely because of you, Brother. 🙏❤️🎸😥
Exactly, slide playing should be just quiet and smooth, for example derek trucks is a monster with the slide but i think he is missing those quiet simple things
I see why Galadrielle Allman chose this as the title for her book. Just finished it, still sad, thought I'd come over to hear Duane play. Miss you forever, Skydog.
My exact sentiments... The best, maybe most forgotten slide player to ever walk this earth, some of us fortunate one's will never forget the feeling and soul you played with. yes Miss you forever Skydog
have you read Gregg's autobiography? He says he knows Duane heard him when he was doing certain songs, those where he can hear him loud and clear adding what he did. Man, miss him the most of all of the fallen musicians in my lifetime. There is an old saying, "there really is nothing quite like a Dead concert", and I agree. Until Duane starts playing.
I lived in Macon during seventies and eighties. Used to listen to Cowboy play this at a venue that used to be called the Varsity but was renamed later. I love the music that was birthed in Macon, going back to Otis and Little Richard.
The lyrics in this song, man. How does someone even think of such utterly breathtaking poetry, like, where does it come from? So beautiful, I can't stop crying.
@craigtrexler8156 I listened to this whole album by cowboy, this was the only song I found myself truly enjoying on the album for whatever reason, that being said, it's one of my favorite songs
Just the other day someone on F..ibook asked everyone to name a song that touched their heart and made them think about better days. I was lost until today when I remembered this song
Having grown up in the late 60s & early 70s i personally have not heard any better version than this, Though I cant fault anyone for doing it as it's one fine song to play, or just kick back & listen to . Duane's ending slide lick just cements it.. Absolutely gorgeous .
Skydog was the greatest guitarist I ever saw ( I was lucky enough to see Duane live 3 times) and this includes everyone you might think of as great.. Was lucky to see the greats, Hendrix, Page, Richrds/Jones, Beck, Clapton, Vaughn, etc. They all had something, but they just couldn't compare to the soul of Duane.
He did indeed have something different and special he would probably be in my top 5 fave guitarists. I too was born a bit too late to have been able to see him as well as some of the other greats that are gone. I have seen the ones who are still here on your list. Buddy Guy is amazing and has soul as does Warren Haynes. The There are younger guys out there too like Gary Clark Jr, John Mayer and Derek Trucks.
Ken Davis..... You sure have seen all the greats.... those are all my favorite players and I've never seen any of them. Except I did meet Jimi Hendrix's family in Washington and spent some personal time with them. Pure happenstance.
I also saw SkyDog - twice - and he was clearly the best. I saw all the greats but there’s just something so emotional about his playing. Robert Fripp and Steve Howe were standouts, as well as Zappa. I wish I’d seen Prince because his playing was super emotional too, like he was bleeding and pouring out love. But Duane will always be my number one. RIP. Glad you and Gregg are finally reunited. 🌟🌟
Oh my word, what does it mean? Is it love or is it me That makes me change so suddenly? Looking out, feeling free. Sit here lying in my bed, Wondering what it was I'd said That made me think I'd lost my head, When I knew I lost my heart instead. Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy. Tell me what I hope to find deep within me. Because you can find my mind, please be with me. Of all the better things I've heard, Loving you has made the words And all the rest seem so absurd, Cause in the end it all comes out, I'm sure. Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy. Tell me what I hope to find deep within me. Because you can find my mind, please be with me. ♥
To me this sounds like the greatest dobro playing ever recorded. It is so full of feeling and so articulate -and I have not heard anyone else play this way. Duane was the man, for sure.
Isn't that the truth! If anyone could articulate an emotion thru an instrument it was Duane. I am so sad I never got to see him live, but then again his music is so inspirational and uplifting that I feel his spirit soaring thru his music he left behind. Sorry, I didn't mean to be maudlin. He just had so much depth. You're right, Duane was the man.
I did get to see the Greg Allman Tour with special guest Cowboy at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ Dec. 1974. I was 15 at the time, one of my favorite shows. Wish I could go back in time.
I was using metronomes on CZcams, nothing but a blue screen and different BPM and some visitors gave those a 'thumbs down'. I'm not sure exactly why you would rate a metronome one way or another anyway. 'Please Be With Me' is a gorgeous song for sure!
Damn i miss playing the blues, i could always make myself cry playing certain licks. Id love to jam to this, just have to solder the input jack and hopefully just a set of tubes for the DSL100 (Im old school if you couldnt tell) ✊️
It's a beauty! So is Clapton's cover. So we're spoiled. Love the additional guitar work on this original version. Beautiful vocals as well. Duane has the better pipes for sure. Clapton's cover is very similar & Yvonne Elliman makes it special. Thanks for the upload. ♥
Wish I had been lucky enough to see that carved into the side of the interstate in Mississippi. Thank God we have the picture of it to remember it. I love it!
Saw a lot of great players as way back as the late sixties. Probably until the day I die, Duane will ALWAYS be my favorite. His chops, feel and intensity to this day are unmatched. Hearing this always brings a tear to my eye, knowing he was gone way too soon. Can't give enough thanks for today's media being able to keep him alive, in some small way. The legend of Skydog will live forever!!!
Mitchell Schwartz OMG, I miss this man! Tears flowing now...and always when I hear his sweet, sweet heavenly playing. I was incredibly blessed to hear him in Piedmont Park from the very beginning. He was and is and will be to the day I day my favorite guitarist. Cary Schwartz
To some of you saying you like this "version" or maybe don't like this version. This is a Scott Boyer (Cowboy) song that Duane played on and that Eric Clapton later covered.
IMO, Duane's tragic death had just as big an impact on music as Buddy Holly's passing, both taken from us at a young age, with so much more they could have created and shared. R.I.P. Duane
the only problem with this song is it makes me think of a boy I once knew, who also plays the guitar like an angel from heaven, when I shouldn't be thinking at all...
I miss him every day. But I'm reminded of him every day because I share middle names with him. My daddy gave me his middle name, Duane, to pay homage to his favorite band and favorite guitarist of all time. I couldn't be prouder to be named after the great Skydog ❤️❤️❤️ Duane is also the sole reason I started learning to play guitar. So every time I play, I think about him. He's had such a huge impact on my life. And I was born almost 10 yrs after he passed away, Sept '81. 9 years and 11 months later, actually. Now that I've grown up and had my own child, I see just how short 10 years really is. My daughter was born 8 years ago. So Duane had barely been gone when I was born. Just 10 years prior. Really puts things into perspective. It's now been almost 50 yrs since he passed away. And his legacy is now deeply cemented in Rock & Roll history. Especially Southern Rock, a genre in which the Allman Brothers had a huge hand in creating. Today, ABB had firmly established their place in history and I know Duane was watching them, proud as ever of his vision and what he created...one of the best bands to ever grace a stage and likely THE BEST live band to ever play. 😎❤️👍
These guys were lucky to have this guitar master play on their song!! Brother Duane will never be surpassed!!!! ABB will never be surpassed!!!! Why and not that there not great Skynyrd get all the credit for southern sound?? Could it be the Brothers are a cut above!!!!
Without ABB, there'd be no Skynyrd. That's a fact. TBH, these days, ABB gets the credit they rightfully deserve for developing and creating what we know as Southern Rock today. Had there been no ABB, there'd likely be no Southern Rock, and as a result, no Lynyrd Skynyrd. Maybe someone else would've put the ingredients together for Southern Rock music but I doubt it.
What a great song! Never heard Duane's interpretation of it, but played the grooves out of Clapton's. Clapton was awed by Duane more than any player he ever knew, and for good reason. What a nice tribute to Duane that Clapton recorded this song almost note by note. With all due respect to Eric, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Richie Blackmore and David Gilmour, and all the greats, my favorite guitarists are Jimi, Duane and Johnny Winter.
@@craigtrexler8156 Scott Boyer said in an interview (somewhere here on CZcams!) that he wrote this song on night and didn't really like it, but Duane talked him into recording it. Lucky for us, I say!
I am 64 and have listened to this song since I was 17 and it still takes me back to the best place! May it never leave me.
I agree!
64 here, too. Sweet, high school summer memories that will never fade.🥰
66 here ... still, so soothing ......
73 here and strutting across the room listening to what rode the medicine horse with me selling hips and knees. Just plain cocky and smooth song.

Never forgotten “Uncle Michael” you played this tune so well…please take care of Dad. I love you & miss you both very much. A son and nephew still waiting to see you both.

I picked up the guitar after hearing Duane, and the guitar yelled, 'put me down and don't ever touch me again you don't have a clue'!! And the music world dodged a big bullet that day.
Wanna jam?
One of Duane's final recordings, gentle, tender and makes you smile.
Is there any style of music he could not play? Jazz, rock and roll, the Founder of Southern Rock, and now country, cowboy. Man this guy sounds great on everything! It was a sad day for music when we lost Duane.
For songs like this, there needs to be a special "I really really REALLY like this" button!
❤️
There's a line in the movie Tombstone, when Wyatt and his posse split up. In saying goodbye, one says to Wyatt "I aint got the words." Seems to apply for a lot of really, really REALLY good songs, like this one!
Absolutely. It’s 8 years later but I hope you are doing ok
Last song he ever recorded. We love you, Brother Duane. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
#REMEMBERDUANEALLMAN
This is so hauntingly beautiful. I saw Duane twice, he was possessed when he played. Channeled the universe through the fretboard
I'm 66 years young and also fell in love with this song, and my boyfriend , when he was 17 and played it for me.... always takes me back to a beautiful place where I found love.... Always beautiful, endless music. I'll always be listening....🐦🌷
I just heard this for the FIRST time today and I was born in 74 😂. Wow. What have I been missing? Love it!

This song now comes to us from Heaven as Tommy has now joined Scott and Duane. RIP between sets guys.

You lucky dawg. 😁
Just a great dang song!! Never heard this version before and I always thought it was a Clapton original!! Great slide work by the master and wonderful
Harmony vocals!!! Makes my day better hearing it!!!🎸🎸🎸
We weren’t worthy... Rest In Peace Duane, you were a beautiful soul. We love you SkyDog.
Such a wonderful tune Scott wrote and sung (w/Tommy). Duane's playing is sublime. Just gorgeous and tasteful and restrained. Fantastic.
This song still squeezes my heart and takes me back to a simpler and gentler life, that seems both eons ago and just yesterday.
This is a sweet song, but 1971 was not a simpler or gentler time: nostalgia just makes it seem so Remember Viet Nam? Nixon? Segregation? Love this song, but be careful.
You hit the nail on the head, Peace be with you!!!🌌

Thank you for this beautiful song that you've left us, Cowboy, Duane, and the rest. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In this song Duane plays with the Cowboys it is fair to remember that this song was composed by the great Charles Scott Boyer.
R.I.P. TO ALL, I CAN LISTEN TO THIS SONG 1000 TIMES IN A ROW, ALL DAY LONG, COUSIN FIGEL
This song means so much to me. It was the Eric Clapton version, but this is beautiful too. It was my song for my 1st wife who I lost. I love you forever, Suzanne...I miss you everyday of my life.
I was 13 and. had the opportunity to see this genius in concert. long long time ago. beautiful song
duanes solo has rung in my head everyday for 50 years, most beautiful thing i ever heard
I have not heard this in a very long time. I simply cried. Duane on dobro just does that to me. Vocals and instruments simply stellar. I saw ABB shortly before this recording.

some of the finest dobro playing on a truly beautiful early 1970s song. great band, great track - to think what Duanne could've done had he not died so early!
Nobody has ever played with that kind of soul. Rest in peace Brother Duane, you have always been my all time favorite guitar player. Wish you were still with us.
Listening to Boyer and Talton on what would have been my cousin Scot Boyer's 73rd birthday...

Unfortunately there is not an "Asshole Filter" to keep them from disliking great Art...So be it...Glad for all of the others that enjoy it!
Blessings & Sunshine!
One of the best songs ever done this song. It's solid gold subpop. A true treasure for the few.
Duane's spirit and soul resonates in this slide dobro. I can be felt.
Put me in the enjoy column.

The soothing voice of Duane of love that has gone by

Discovered this song well over 30 years ago and sounds wonderful every time ! Duane Allman -there was no better at what he did. Remember Sky Dog !
Never be another like Duane
Duane can never be forgotten
Skydog was the greatest guitarist I ever saw ( I was lucky enough to see Duane live 3 times) and this includes everyone you might think of as great.. Was lucky to see the greats, Hendrix, Page, Richrds/Jones, Beck, Clapton, Vaughn, etc. They all had something, but they just couldn't compare to the soul of Duane.
ugh where did you see Duane?!?!?!! I am too young by about 25 years to ever have seen him live..
I envy you, sir. I was born 10 years after his death so I had no opportunity to. Only the videos left of him.
He did indeed have something different and special he would probably be in my top 5 fave guitarists. I too was born a bit too late to have been able to see him as well as some of the other greats that are gone. I have seen the ones who are still here on your list. Buddy Guy is amazing and has soul as does Warren Haynes. The There are younger guys out there too like Gary Clark Jr, John Mayer and Derek Trucks.
Ken Davis..... You sure have seen all the greats.... those are all my favorite players and I've never seen any of them. Except I did meet Jimi Hendrix's family in Washington and spent some personal time with them. Pure happenstance.

Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.
Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.
Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
Cause in the end it all comes out, I'm sure.
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me. ♥

Saw a lot of great players as way back as the late sixties. Probably until the day I die, Duane will ALWAYS be my favorite. His chops, feel and intensity to this day are unmatched.
Hearing this always brings a tear to my eye, knowing he was gone way too soon. Can't give enough thanks for today's media being able to keep him alive, in some small way.
The legend of Skydog will live forever!!!
Mitchell Schwartz OMG, I miss this man! Tears flowing now...and always when I hear his sweet, sweet heavenly playing. I was incredibly blessed to hear him in Piedmont Park from the very beginning. He was and is and will be to the day I day my favorite guitarist. Cary Schwartz
Cary Miller He's in Heaven. He's not dead.
Me too, Skydog will always be my favorite guitar player. His playing is just not like anyone else's I've ever heard.
Agreed, Heard him and ABB at WINTERS END FESTIVAL in Florida in March 197O. Best i've ever heard, before or since.
amen, nothing to add, you said it all.
God, I love this song. i had not heard Duane's version. Wow.
this song is awesome! Duane's solo is soooo soulful and just right. badass!
Such a killer tune never forget brother duane
Remember Duane Allman.
+John Henderson Always! forever and ever.
Always. He was the best white blues guitar player ever.
Andy McWilliams ...nah.
Mr. Mojo Risin how could we forget
@@catdaddy3302 The best guitar player - PERIOD.
I just adore this song, its just so beautiful & perfect for every mood
Remember Duane ALLMAN ❤️🎶
44 years ago today...rest in peace Skydog
To some of you saying you like this "version" or maybe don't like this version. This is a Scott Boyer (Cowboy) song that Duane played on and that Eric Clapton later covered.
Jim Dorman ... Correct.. Randy Meisner also did a tasty version
It blows my mind each time.
can't even put into words the feelings...
SO PEACE FULL AND GREAT SLIDE WORK BY DUANE BEFORE HIS DEATH .R.I.P. DUANE !
Ugh this one rips at the heart strings. I'd be damned if it weren't an homage to Duane himself from friends and family (and fans).
I get cold chills every time I listen to this song.
RIP Scott Boyer, sad to hear of his passing last night, a wonderful songwriter and musician
IMO, Duane's tragic death had just as big an impact on music as Buddy Holly's passing, both taken from us at a young age, with so much more they could have created and shared. R.I.P. Duane
the only problem with this song is it makes me think of a boy I once knew, who also plays the guitar like an angel from heaven, when I shouldn't be thinking at all...
Rest in peace Tommy.
So beautiful, I wish there was more stuff like that nowadays.
Beautiful, makes me miss Duane Allman all over again
I miss him every day. But I'm reminded of him every day because I share middle names with him. My daddy gave me his middle name, Duane, to pay homage to his favorite band and favorite guitarist of all time. I couldn't be prouder to be named after the great Skydog ❤️❤️❤️
Duane is also the sole reason I started learning to play guitar. So every time I play, I think about him. He's had such a huge impact on my life. And I was born almost 10 yrs after he passed away, Sept '81. 9 years and 11 months later, actually.
Now that I've grown up and had my own child, I see just how short 10 years really is. My daughter was born 8 years ago. So Duane had barely been gone when I was born. Just 10 years prior. Really puts things into perspective. It's now been almost 50 yrs since he passed away. And his legacy is now deeply cemented in Rock & Roll history. Especially Southern Rock, a genre in which the Allman Brothers had a huge hand in creating.
Today, ABB had firmly established their place in history and I know Duane was watching them, proud as ever of his vision and what he created...one of the best bands to ever grace a stage and likely THE BEST live band to ever play. 😎❤️👍
These guys were lucky to have this guitar master play on their song!! Brother Duane will never be surpassed!!!! ABB will never be surpassed!!!! Why and not that there not great Skynyrd get all the credit for southern sound?? Could it be the Brothers are a cut above!!!!
Without ABB, there'd be no Skynyrd. That's a fact. TBH, these days, ABB gets the credit they rightfully deserve for developing and creating what we know as Southern Rock today. Had there been no ABB, there'd likely be no Southern Rock, and as a result, no Lynyrd Skynyrd. Maybe someone else would've put the ingredients together for Southern Rock music but I doubt it.
this has always been one of, if not THE, favorite song that Duane played on.
Absolutely beautiful!
Oh so many memories. My ex fiance used to sing this song before he died in 1976.
The absolute beauty of this defies description
Much more lyrical dobro on this version ..imho....great touch H.D.. 63 ys.. right at 17 y.o. 1st time hearing it also... peace
RIP Duane. Oct 29, 1971
Duane is one of my all time favorite guitarists,,this song brings back some good memories.
What a great song! Never heard Duane's interpretation of it, but played the grooves out of Clapton's. Clapton was awed by Duane more than any player he ever knew, and for good reason. What a nice tribute to Duane that Clapton recorded this song almost note by note. With all due respect to Eric, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Richie Blackmore and David Gilmour, and all the greats, my favorite guitarists are Jimi, Duane and Johnny Winter.
It's not Duane's song he just plays slide dobro on the original version, by the band, "Cowboy"
@@craigtrexler8156 Scott Boyer said in an interview (somewhere here on CZcams!) that he wrote this song on night and didn't really like it, but Duane talked him into recording it. Lucky for us, I say!
You forgot RORY GALLAGHER
Note di musica meravigliosa, di un tempo passato e che non tornerà mai più. Grazie DUANE ALLMAN... "2023"
words words words.. listen to this guitar from heaven...
A ton can be said for Scott and Tommy. Great 1970's talent and honestly good guys.
It doesn't matte who sings this song, the words speak for themselves!
Duane made everyone better. There is no doubt.
this song is beyond amazing...are there really words to describe it???
Perfect
Great tune, thanks for posting!!!!!
Finest acoustic guitar playing I've ever heard.
both great - Eric Clapton and Duane Allman
I love Eric's version as?well
Love this song. A friend had the Cowboy album with this and we used to play it over and over. RIP Scott and Duane
that slide resonator is so beautiful. what a great song
