Played on a Bear Creek Weissenborn acoustic lap steel

Begin The Beguine - C6th on Weissenborn

Computer-generated audio of my lap steel arrangement of a Jimmy Webb classic from the 60s. The tuning is a variation on standard C6th with a low Bb instead of C on string 6.

Lap Steel - Wichita Lineman -C13th Tuning

Moon River - C6/Fmaj7 tuning - lap steel remix 20-23

LOCH LOMOND - C6TH LAP STEEL - solo

Quick and dirty rendition of this old folk/blues standard. Straight into Garage Band's "Old Time Tremolo" patch which got a nasty, quacky, buzzy tone from my 1952 Magnatone lap steel. Don't care - this one's all about winging it off-the-cuff, not tone.
