SOMEDAY SOON was composed by Canadian singer-songwriter Ian Tyson who recorded the song with Sylvia Fricker as the duo Ian & Sylvia in 1963. “Someday Soon” would be brought to prominence via a 1968 recording by Judy Collins. Buddy Emmons’ beautiful pedal steel playing on Collins’ recording was a landmark and highly influential among steel  players. My arrangement for lap steel uses glissed double stops to try to capture some of the flavor of Emmons’ pedal steel approach to the song. Use of volume swells via a volume pedal or knobs on the guitar, can help give more of a pedal steel sound as well.
