In my mind the pedal steel guitar is the most beautiful instrument in the world. I always wished I could play one or atleast a steel slider because my dream was to become a country music singer since I was a child but my dreams got robbed

I was 78 Sunday 12th and this music is great

The blind singer and songwriter Leon Payne wrote this fantastic Song in 1949, according to me, one of the finest songs ever written.

I can see the mutual respect each one had for each other by yhe way they watch each other. They were both masters and they knew it. Beautiful music!

12 years later and over 4 million views. Miss your music, Dave. John Stannard was a wonderful guitarist. He is missed.

Funny reading the comments. I'm 34 years old and have zero rememberable of any of these old country songs but I will tell you what, this IS and FOREVER will be the best and most soulfull music ever and the pedal steel is the most emotionally expressive instrument alive and it should be cherished. That's coming from someone who merely knows his ears don't lie. And that's why now I'm learning pedal steel.

For those who love this music - we do not care whether you like it or not - your insignificant - we still love this music & appreciate Dave & John sharing it with us.

This is TRUE classic country music sounds. Ya notice that neither David or John dressed up to look like tough and rough cow punchers in shabby hand-me-down clothes, bandannas and tent size hats over dark rim glasses to get noticed, instead their musical instruments stood out above any and all types of clothing attire.

He got me cleaned up and on the way he said "Jesus Christ I really thought it was a stage act!". Needless to say I never made it big lol

Music that gently speaks to the soul

One of the greatest joys from David's videos (on his later recordings) is the incredible clear hi fidelity sound and video. Poor video and/or audio; destroys most of what these experts can do. And that is sad indeed. Thank you kind Sir David.

A truly great singer and so very , very popular in both USA and the UK. . Her funeral in England was famously huge and shut down the country, there, I believe .

A beautiful song played by two masters. The telecaster,(or its British counter part), has the best tone of any I have ever heard. I miss John. I know David does too.

GREAT JOB. JUST BEAUTIFUL !!

Leon Payne wrote this beauty, many have recorded it as well as several others he penned over his life. Leon was a blind singer, song writer, when I played with him in San Antonio Texas in 1960, his clothes had patches but he seemed to be at peace with the world. He was a soft spoken man, unlike some guys I worked for in the following years. I believe he would be happy to have heard David & John do such a beautiful rendition of his song.
