Note:
All errors in hearing exactly what Ralp Mooney did in the solo midway in the recording are mine. I play - this transciption stuff is hard to do...

Peggy,

Thank you for your contributions. Do you know An Empty Bottle A Broken Heart and You're Still on My Mind also from the Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo (Mr. Green of course).

[Peggy Green]

Robert, Thanks. Give me a few weeks on that one, I'm very busy with work and songwriting. It's a great example. There are three variations in the song by the steel. Almost like a lesson from Mr. Lloyd himself, saying "You can do it this way, or this. This last is a variation from the second." Wish we could have been there, eh!

Peggy
