Badfinger's Day after Day on the steel guitar

I remember Badfinger's tune, Day after Day, but it was George Harrison's slide guitar that hooked me. So now, many years later, I decided to create my own arrangement with my "steel guitar orchestra."

Cool, thanks for that Chuck! I remember Badfinger very well; hard to believe that was over a half-century ago.

Chuck, what a treat. Yes I remember Bad Finger well from my youth. So cool that you took this and made a neat cover with lapsteel. I thoroughly enjoy your music.

Nice one Chuck, I remember seeing you at the Phoenix show years ago and you did some oldies in your set, excellent.

Cool, Chuck. You breathe new life into these old classics! This one takes me back to my school daze. So many memories.

Thanks, guys. It's funny how some vocal songs just turn into instrumentals when I sit behind the steel. Glad that my arrangements bring back some good memories.

I have just had a small convesation this morning about the bad luck the group Badfinger befell.
You did a great job with this one Chuck!

Thanks, Joachim. As music history shows, having the right or wrong management makes a big difference.

That's a smooth sound! I remember Badfinger from my school days, and I liked their original sound. It wasn't easy getting the country group I was in to do their big hit "No Matter What", but we had (for the most part) a younger audience and it went over well.

Wish I'd made more tapes of those old days. $:\$

Thanks, Donny. Yup, those tunes were definitely from the long ago, but as the Byrds would sing, "I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now."
