perhaps my favorite steel guitar instrumental.

one of the really unique things about it is the walking bass line Buddy plays on strings 9 and 10 underneath the melody. Buddy said he was inspired by the Barney Kessel song Barney's Blues with a similar ascending bass line. also listen to Kessel's version of I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart for its similarity to At E's

here's the first 4 bars of Russ Wever's tab which demonstrates how Buddy played the simultaneous bass line but it seems we all play the song a little differently. I start on fret 15, strings 3 and 6 with pedal 6 down, and string 10 open
