An old pedal song...........my rendition.

[Ray Montee (RIP)]

I'd enjoy learning what you have to say about my mutilation of an old western swing standard.....
entitled "I Love You Because".

You can find it on "Ray's CD's" page, on the JERRYBYRD-FANCLUB.com/

These olde tunes just never seem to lose their glitter, particularly when performed on a 1972 Emmons push-pull thro' a Peavy Session 400.

Just click the JERRYBYRD-FANCLUB.com thingie on my signature line on the bottom of this post.....then navigate to Ray's CD page. ENJOY!

(Ray, I hope you don't mind me posting that link).

Really nice playing! I like it!

[Ray Montee (RIP)]

Don't mind at all my good buddy........

In fact I appreciate it.

You're most kind.

[James Morehead]

Hey there Ray, Sounds like you were having a lot of fun with that sweet tune. Awesome!!

[Rick Schmidt]

Love it Ray!!! Thanks!

[Andy Sandoval]

Swing it brother! Sounds great Ray. I took you up on your offer and downloaded the Jerry Byrd tune too. Keep up the good work on the Jerry Byrd site boy!

[Jim Means]

Ray,
I am a big Jimmy Day fan and have never heard this song "swung" before, but I loved it! It's like a completely new song. What year was that and who were you playing with?

Jim in Missouri

In response to your question.......

I believe that was the late 1970's......... I recall it was at an Elks Lodge in east Vancouver, Wash.

A small little group of olde friends.....good times were had by all!

[Mark Dunn]

That's some very nice playing Ray. It's similar to Buddy's version on Expedition E9. All the best to you.

Great. You folks should all buy Ray's CD's. You don't know what you're missing.
