A young boy of seventeen, listening for hours, with a very special girl, tonight fifty seven years later she sets across from me, still very special, she is my heart.
it’s like the good ending to a video game, all your friends have passed, the world is an inhabitable and hostile post-apocalyptic scene, but you feel happiness as you succumb to radioactive fallout.
It's called sleepwalk because the song came to one of them in a dream. Woke up shortly after, wrote down the notes and composed the song the following day.
1954 here too. This song brings back melancholy memories even though I was still a young child when it came out. Also, it makes me a little sad after watching La Bamba and realizing this selection was played at his funeral.

Thanks! Yes, the original is plain and simple, but very well played. A lot of steel guitarists today add in a bunch of fills and licks that were not in the original recording.
There’s something pleasantly haunting about this song, yet very melancholic at the same time. This kind of melody only comes around once in a lifetime and you recreated the perfect rendition….Awesome Job!
Nailed it man… wow… my Dad has passed away from Covid a week ago & ive been listening to this a lot. This song reminds me of the time I’ve spent with him… he was 50 years young… Rest In Peace Dad, I love you
When I was a kid, in the grand old cinemas, before movies were screened, this piece of music was always played against the red velvet screen cover and the yellow lights in the cinema, with the side pillars of the screen, and the grand apollo sun god chariot right on the middle of the screen top... Hmmm.... Seats were old and squeaky, but we can no longer experience this again. Thanks for the memories. Btw, just love your playing style, clean and smooth.
You must have spent hours and hours listening to Santo and Johnny's original as I could not detect one note omitted. I learned this song in 1965 on an acoustic guitar but I know I could never hit all the notes like you did. Nothing like a steel guitar. Congratulations on your talent. Keep on sharing your music as you are really good. I have a good ear for music but I cannot read a note of music. I have done solo gigs when I was in my 40's. It was one of the greatest times of my life and I was broke.
Thanks for listening, John! Yes, I grew up hearing Sleep Walk on the radio, and it was the first song I learned to play on steel guitar, 50 years ago! I played pedal steel guitar with country and rock bands through the 70s, 80s, 90s. Nowadays I play about four gigs a month... that is, before the virus hit!
@@nancylovell7258 If you’re on pc right click when the video is playing and click “loop” If you’re on mobile there should be either three dots or a cog in the top right corner of the video, press that and turn on “play video in loop”
Wow! ...a great memory! I was only 9 years old that year but I heard the song on the radio a lot in the early 60s and beyond. Thanks for checking out the video. 🙂
Gorgeously Played !! I Fell in Love with that song the moment I first heard it at a very young age !!! I’m 67 Now and it Still Moves Me like it always Has !! Beautiful !!!
that relaxed sit back into the chair at the end of the video just breathes satisfaction. This guy knows he can make good vibes out of his own fingertips.
I been watching this video over and over again for so many years just never commented, this video just melts me lol, i keep coming back! Its too soothing
My grampa told me to search this song up so I did and we looked at the "real" version but then I saw you playing the steel guitar so I clicked on it and my grampa said this one has better quality:P
Doug, I have listened to this probably 50 times since discovering it a few weeks ago. Your style and sound has moved me to tears, and there's nothing that encapsulates life more than this song, and how elegantly you play it. Thank you for this, and thank you for sharing your talent with the world!
Doug,. Really great music,. Now days " music " is mostly crap, sadly. Not like the old days. Heard a band play this at a class reunion of kids that were somewhat younger than me. They had a steel player that did a tolerable job and everybody appreciated it. A classic tune that nobody plays anymore. Also sadly
This came out when I was 7 years old and I just get a wonderful feeling whenever I hear it now. And this is the purest sound I’ve heard in ages, thanks for the memories . BEAUTIFUL !!
Doug; you are THE Master of the steel guitar and as such I could (and many times do) listen to you play on these UA-cam Vids for hours at a time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, yet so humble, talent with the thousands of your fans across our nation!
WOW !! I can clearly remember my mother playing the original record over and over when I was a very young child. I never tired of it so really enjoyed this. Thank you.
The perfect song to show the beauty of the steel guitar and a great player. Thanks. Brings back memories of the last dance at Emerald Junior High 1963.
Seems like the art of playing a steel guitar is a fading art, especially with the younger musicians. Slide guitar is one thing but this is actually picking the strings, with a slide. Well done! Love it.
Best steel player on the planet! Best rendition of "Sleepwalk" I have ever heard anywhere on the planet! Thanks for sharing sir. You are one talented player.
DoogerDog You’re gonna have to take that back. Watch Larkin Poe do this song, That girl on steel is tremendous. I’d have to say there’s room at the top for Meg Lovell. Not taking anything away from this gentleman at all, but there are some great, great players out there. Meg and Rebecca Lovell are making it happen and they’re young. For starters, David Lindley comes to mind, and Robert Randolph is another.
I hate to sound like that guy but man they really don’t make music like this anymore. No song I’ve ever listened to from today’s music has ever given me the amount of chills that I get every time I hear this song. It’s great to see people still paying homage to such a masterpiece. Great job man you couldn’t have done better 👏🏾💯
When i was growing up my dads band played a lot of small venues around the great lakes. They always ended the night with my dad playing sleepwalk on Steel guitar. He passed in September of 2022 and boy this brought back fond memories of my dad and his youth. Thank you sir!
my mom was thrilled to show me la bamba (cuz i like 50s and 60s music) and the movie was really good. something about this song tho, it hits so hard. you did a fantastic job covering it. bravo.
you brought me back to my childhood, i heard this song playing in my grandfathers garage all the time on his old timey radio... we'd play eye spy as he worked on cars and motorcycles, and chill out on the hill in our front lawn.. i wish i could have it back, but all those memories are more than enough and its the best things i've got.. thank you
This song has very worn out feel to it and it almost feels like I'm coming home from a long day of public transportation when really I just woke up from bed
It's funny you say that because I'm in that exact situation right now. I literally just got back from a long day comprised of work, public transport and goddamn Canadian winter weather. I'm exhausted and I was thinking about how calming this song was. The chord progression and melody are fairly typical but it's so effective! Love it!
Santo and Johnny released this TWELVE years before I was born (in '71) and I grew up loving it...which is why I so deeply appreciate your finger-picking precision. You truly did it justice. Thanks for taking us all back. 😊
I know nothing about the steel guitar or the man playing it but what I do know about is the sound of expertly reproduced music when I hear it and how much time and practice it takes to master an instrument like this. Whoever this guy is he is incredibly good. Thanks for this great video.
I couldn't decide what music I wanted to listen to when UA-cam reminded me of your channel. I'm so glad it did because anything I would have picked would have been nothing compared to this.
I was born in 1998… this is real music… not the crap my generation is currently listening to. Thank you for such a perfect version of this song. Hope others follow in your footsteps and bring back these kind of tunes.
Oh my gosh I’m melting, this has to be THE most pristine playing of Sleepwalk that I’ve ever heard. I’ve loved this song since I was a kid.
Thanks for listening! I’m glad you like it. 🤗

yes it is i play it over and over for hours. I love steel guitars.
Be fair, go back and listen to Santos one more time
it’s like the good ending to a video game, all your friends have passed, the world is an inhabitable and hostile post-apocalyptic scene, but you feel happiness as you succumb to radioactive fallout.
Santos and Johnny……Sleepwalk….what a classic sound, it’s a shame no one creates that kind of music any more. This was done superbly!!
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏👍
Now its just garbage music singing about booty, drugs, and money. I wish I was born earlier.

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for listening. 😊
Sorry for your loss. RIP

I don't know anyone who would not get emotional of this haunting melody. Just loving it.

If I close my eyes, I can see my Dad playing this song on the pedal steel. It moves me to tears when I hear you play.
Wow, I’m glad the song brings back fond memories for you.

Born in 1954 I first heard this as a youngster. To this day the best music ever. Never fails to bring me to tears of joy.
One of my childhood favorites too! 😊
Born the same year and loved the same song 🎵
Also a '54 baby. Didn't come to appreciate this music till later in life. High-school was Led Zeppelin for me.😂

Finally I found someone that plays the song as is. Everyone plays this song with his 'genius' style just because can not touch the original.
Thanks! Yes, the original is plain and simple, but very well played. A lot of steel guitarists today add in a bunch of fills and licks that were not in the original recording.
this has always been on my mind.. like THE EXACT SAME IDEA!!
Yes indeed
Simple will always be better 👍
I only love the originals. I don't like the personal touch of diverse players.

Worked really well in The Irishman

Sleepwalk alone is so beautiful but this version brought tears to my eyes. Why did I get this recommended to me two years later???

I was born in 1998… this is real music… not the crap my generation is currently listening to. Thank you for such a perfect version of this song. Hope others follow in your footsteps and bring back these kind of tunes.
Thanks! Much appreciated 😁
