7:30 Eastern Daylight Time -- This is one of Ronnie Milsap's best known songs and his 16th number one hit. It became Tennessee's 8th state song in 2010, probably because the story line references Knoxville and Gatlinburg.
The arrangement is suitable for the intermediate level player with a knowledge of three finger chords and chord-melody style of playing. The primary challenge will be smoothing out the rough spots with numerous hammer-ons, pull offs, and slides. It requires a 1+ fret due to a temporary modulation in the bridge. Participants will receive a practice recording.
