I'd have to guess Johnny Bush and Weldon Myrick.

Come on now; anymore takers? The answers lie in a Jim Loessberg search. I know; ya'll hate me for this one.

Long Shot... Gail Davies / Sonny Garrish

I've got a Ray Price album with Emmons that has that song on it. Webb Pierce and Carl Smith have cut it. Also that song goes way back to the 40's or 50's so probably a lot of different people have cut it.

Ricky Davis · Post by **Ricky Davis** » 6 Jun 1999 2:23 pm

Yes Gail Davies wrote it and had a hit on it. But this particular solo was played by ? and the singer was ?. Most diffinately alot has recorded it; because it is a great song. Jim is right on the track with Johnny Bush; but I believe; Loessberg told me once who the steel player was on that recording, and I was quite suprised myself.

Ok Jon Light; it didn't hit me till later; but that's a great responce. I forgot the Jackson 5 recorded that Ole Motown hit called "I'll be there"ha

Well does everyone give up? Ok; it was Johnny Bush singing the song with the great Dickie Overby on steel. Jim you had it; but Mr. Bush used so many great steel players through his years, it's hard to keep up; I always have to ask my neighbor Mr. Loessberg the answers to those Bush/steel players versions. So someone will have to win the "New Car" the next go around

Gail Davies didn't write it, ferchrissakes. She was only 8 years old when it was cut. Rusty Gabbard wrote the song in the 1950's. He played rhythm and fronted for both Price and Tubb.

Oops; sorry Herb. I know that was a hugh mistake on my part. We did a few shows with Gail and I mis-interpreted what she said. I guess when she said it was her song; she ment the one that made her somewhat known when she had a release of it. I only have a couple of versions of that one and I need to keep reminding myself that I'm just a kid when it comes to knowing my history.
Thanks for the correction on that one.

OK, so if I'm hunting through the old vinal bins, who would I look for? What's my best bet? I LOVE this share a lick/turnaround portion of the SGF, but sometimes feel that I could benefit a lot more from it if there was a *.wav file to listen to. Tab doesn't include timing, and if the lick/turnaround isn't part of a particular song, it's kinda tough to get the feel of it. Anyway, I guess Gail Davies or Ray Price is what I'll look for. Thanks for the posts, everyone!!!

Don Walters · Post by **Don Walters** » 11 Jun 1999 12:00 pm

FWIW
Ray Price recorded 2 totally different songs called "I'll Be There"
1. "I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)" - Rusty Gabbard circa 1950's

2. "I'LL BE THERE (When You Get Lonely)" - Burgess. I have this one on an LP called Ray Price's Greatest Hits. There's no date on it but there's a note on the back cover of the sleeve that says "If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliance..". !!

Hey Dean; That particular solo was played on a Johnny Bush tape I have. The tape also has "What a way to live" as the first song. Also; I think I'm gunna be working on a video with all the tab I posted on here. Mike Vasquez from Austin has proposed a deal for me to do that and I am thrilled to do it. So hopefully when I get home off this tour; we can begin that process; and when done, I will post where to obtain one of them and It will be very cheap(believe me)

Ricky...I must say you're my kind of guy. Thanx for all the tab.

kd...and the beat goes on...

Ricky Davis · Post by **Ricky Davis** » 11 Jun 1999 5:50 pm

No prob Kenny; and as soon as I can get off the road; I'm gunna sit down to my guitar and get back on the tab schedule. If all I can do is give back to the steel guitar world what It has given me; that is all I want to do. I didn't have the kind of resources that this forum has provided, and I think it is my duty to continue to take advantage of this wonderful resource to learn as much as I can, and to pass along what I've learned.

Yikes! What an inspiration, Ricky! If everyone (everywhere) had that sort of attitude, well, the world would be a better place. I look forward to the vid.

Ricky:
Look forward to the video you are contemplating doing. Hope the hand movements will be slow enough that newbies like me can follow you.
Thanks for the effort you are putting into doing all this tab.

Man ya'll; thanks for all the nice words of encouragement. I know some of ya'll are logging all this stuff and well I have to admit that I didn't. I asked Mike if he could help me to print all those licks and turns; but haven't heard back yet. He might be waiting for me to get back to the US. But I will ask if anyone has all that stuff; just the tab itself; If they could fax it to me. My fax number is 512-671-8631. Or if it can be sent to my e-mail or something; that would be cool. Or my snail is:

I will be home from Sweden on Monday the 21st; and hopefully I can get on that video thing; It sounds like a blast and I would love to do it while I got a little time. Thanks to all; REALLY.
