"Good idea, Lin. There a bunch of 'experienced' steel players. I' myself find it hard to find tab's for my 8 string. I only find 8 string tabs. Having 8 strigs is like having 2 extra toes. What the hell are they good for. …"

Frank, my sincere thanks for the kind words!
'I Won't Mention It Again' is a bit of a paradox for me. As a youngster, I spent 100's of hours listening to Ray Price records so I could study my hero's approach (Buddy Emmons) to pedal steel. In doing so, I became a huge Ray Price fan.
However, this one is my favorite Price song of all time, and it was recorded with NO steel!
It has such an incredible melody, I just thought playing that melody on steel was all it needed.I'm a sucker for a great string section, and I think this song had the most gorgeous string arrangement of any song Ray ever recorded.
Thanks again!
