I love this song. How can a person not smile when music like this is in their head?

Like, they are all VERY GOOD, but I just shake my head when I hear Tony play!

Tony Rice impérial.

[@RickRiman]

Is that Ricky Simpkins playing the other mandolin? Any date on this video?

[@joshuatate5671]

It is I think

That ending tho 😂👌

This tune bears an uncanny resemblace to "Colored Aristocracy". BOth have great chord changes. I've seen Frank Wakefiled several times abck in the 60s and eawrly 70s. He's picking as well as ever. I sure wish Tocny's solo were better mic'd.

yea, the deeps were faint, he is (was) so good with this song. just amazing. do you remember the famous banjo player he (Tony) played in a band with? he was a red-headed banjo player, and also the "other" famous mandolin player and another country singer - both of the last two went wildy famous. Now name the band? Ok, so that's my Trivia question(s) for the day.
