so many years have passed since i first heard this song, still it remains one of my very favorites. now at age 71 i still listen to it on a regular basis. Marty will remain with Jolson my very favorite singers of all time- Paul, in Waterford Ontario, Canada
1 second ago I heard a song sung by Marty some years ago and have never been able to find it..or have ever heard it again. All I can remember was it was something about an eagle flying and it made me cry......Anyone have any ideas? I have searched every album i came across.
THE GREAT PETE CASSELL BLIND SINCE BIRTH BY SOME DROPS PUT IN HIS EYES AT BIRTH. PETE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN ROSWELL GEORGIA. PETE PLAYED THE ATLANTA WSB BARNDANCE ON SAT. NIGHT FROM THE EARLY 40's TILL THE EARLY 50's, AT THE ERHLANGER THEATRE ON PEACHTREE ST. ALL OF PETES RECORDED COMMERCIAL MUSIC WAS ON 78 RPM DISC.. MR. PETE AND WIFE RUTH CASSELL WERE FAMILY FRIENDS AND I GREW UP LOVEING HE AND HIS MUSIC. PETE ALSO PLAYED THE WWVA JAMBOREE IN WHEELING W.VA. AND THE LOUISIANA HAYRIDE IN LA.
I remember the day Bill Johnson died, because I was attempting to find out where he had he retired to; I thought that if I could find him, I would tell him how valuable his soft style of carefully following the melody line had been to a pedal steel beginner. But he could tear it up too on the C6 neck.
He had a terrific solo on "The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight."
Thank goodness for all the pictures of his playing along with Marty Robbins.
Steel Guitarist Bill Johnson was actually buried today in Alabama. He wrote one of the great classic country ballads 'A Wound Time Can;t Erase' which Marty mystifyingly never cut.
@tarquin45 Tarquin, as you know I'm a steel picker too and I knew Bill, not well but I knew him. I think the reason Marty never recorded that song was that it had already been recorded by so, so many other artists. I do think he did it on some of his live shows and would introduce Bill as the writer. I overheard Marty one time talking back stage at the Opry about another song he didn't record saying that it had been over recorded already; I can't remember the song though.
I cant say the last time I heard a song performed with so much feeling. Marty sure knew how to touch our hearts. Congratulations to that band behind him. Does anyone know the piano and steel players names. Thank for sharing.
I want to dedicate this to all those who have sufferred the loss of a loved one either by a breakup or by death.beaiful song thank you for posting it.
One of my fav. marty's song since i first heard it back in the mid to late fifties, never 4gotten, thx 4 it bein' here 4 me 2 hear, his voice will be there as long as music will b played. the steel guitar grips me as i listen- this is true country music.
I love Bill's use of the 10th string on this one

@tarquin45 Damn, that sucks to hear about this. I love that song especially the way Loretta Lynn did it on the Wilburn Bros. show.
