The 'OB Special' with John Stannard

[@danmooney6015]

There’s no one better than these two guys, NO ONE!

[@donaldleroy6502]

You're so right, they should have been the musicians making millions hand over fist instead of these hacks calling themselves country artists these days

[@MrPatdeeee]

They are incredibly talented. Never saw or heard anything like this. Wow! They never paint themselves into a corner; and they always have one more note. Wow!

[@morgan79347]

Yes they are top of the chart IMHO

[@darladesautel]

agreed. 100%

[@morelia941status]

I love this music with David Hartley & John Stannard. I love them.

[@keithmckenzie726]

Never heard a better version of this song by any artist past or present!

[@morelia941status]

Asi es, hermosas melodias interpretadas por este gran fenomeno, me da mucho gusto que haya sido de su agrado, les recomiendo there's a tears in my beer.

[@Newton14alan]

Keith McKenzie --- The only folks I know of who might...MIGHT...be comparable are "The Hellecasters". They do a pretty good version of this song. But I don't know that I could say they were necessarily better. David & John were clearly a force to be reckoned with! And I'm so grateful that they took the time to record, and then post these wonderful clips for all of us to enjoy! It may sound corny, but watching them play together lifts my heart, and gives me some much needed faith in the Love that rests inside us all. Be well!

[@7pdude]

@@Newton14alan Hellecasters squeeze out pretty much every single sound of their guitars one can think of. and all super fast, clean and precise. technically top notch, no doubt. surely impressive in a certan way at first sight but it doesn't grab me. like the most beautiful woman a man has ever seen in his entire life but soon realizes she ain't got that inner beauty. but music is never a race with a dedicated winner, always a lot of personal taste. :-)

[@Newton14alan]

@@7pdude ---Point taken. Be well.

[@georgethe100]

Traveling on the ob with these guys you would be FIRST CLASS all the way RIP John

[@1959teddybear]

WOW! WOW! WOW! I've never heard that song played on a steel guitar. Dave, you and John are the BEST! Always loved this song and a steel guitar. Great job you guys. Thanks for posting.

Amazing! Words cannot describe how great these guys are at playing this song. I really love this sound.

[@rboudville]

Absolutely Delightful David and John. I've sent your KZbin Link to many friends around the world - the best part is you two guys are enjoying your rehearsal so much. It really made me feel so happy. I say, John you are using a Plectrum at full speed too. The emulation of the Train's wafting and wailing Horn by each of you in turn, is unique - so well done. Thank you both for so generously sharing your artistic super-talent with the world. God Bless and preserve you for many many more years.
