Larry cut this during a brief stint in the mid-60s when he was tied in with Aubrey Mayhew, and it came out on Pickwick&#8217;s Hilltop label, the imprint Mayhew used before he formed Little Darlin&#8217;.  Most Hilltop releases were reissues of tracks of sketchy origin, licensed from folks like Four Star&#8217;s Bill McCall, destined for bargain bins; but for a brief window, Mayhew used it to put out new singles intended to compete on the erstwhile C&#038;W charts.  This is one of those, and it&#8217;s a fine one.  The lyric is a little silly in its high-concept way, but I still think it&#8217;s effective.  Larry&#8217;s a good singer, and the steel playing is great, even if it is too far back in the mix.  Steele went on to release a rash of 45s on K-Ark in the second half of the 60s, some solid C&#038;W and others in a poppier, rockier vein.  He later revisited this tune on his own Air Stream label in the early 1970s, which was a smart move on his part.  That version actually scraped the charts and sold a bit, so it is a lot easier to find.  But here it is, his first stab at cutting it&#8230;enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haven&#8217;t seen this one elsewhere on the web &#8211; Larry Steele&#8217;s original recording of his goofball shuffle classic &#8220;Daylight Losing Time&#8221;.
