It's a beautiful song and the pedal steel sound wonderful - lots of feeling.

They were at the Dallas show in March. I think they still are.

Wow!!!

Congratulations, Pee Wee - well deserved!

I was there (didn't play, of course). I didn't get to see as much as I would have liked, but my moments I enjoyed most were, among others, the last song that JayDee Maness played on Saturday, the trio ...

Oh no! Super nice guy and great steel player/musician. Such sad news. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear this. He was an incredible player (and loved his left had holding the bar), a sense of humor, and one of the best western swing steel players ever. Though he was getting up in th ...

In November or 2022 I traveled to Chile to record an album of music I wrote for pedal steel and five instruments, three of them being Andean indigenous instruments. The album which I named "Canto ...

I have one of Dan Lurie's octal amp heads, and it's the best amp I've ever played through. The person who buys this will own a rare and incredible steel guitar amp.

We each have our own outlooks on this, and there is truth in all of them. But if buying an expensive guitar when your at a place in your life where you're not going to be able to afford another one, o ...

I agree with Fred Treece. Even though most pedal steels are sold online, I think it's important to have an opportunity to play the guitar first unless there's a nice return policy - especially for a & ...

What a great album! I love your Brazilian music, and, for me me, your rendition of One Note Samba is my favorite of all time.

Wonderful production, that 4/4 shuffle really comes alive, and you sing your #ss off. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice!!! It makes me want to play 8 string nonpedal.

I liked how you paired the computer version with the original recording. Is that you playing along with the computer or is the computer do ...

Thanks, Ken

The song "Suite para todos" (Suite for All) from the album "Canto" was chosen as the song of the day for "All About Jazz" (a rarity for our instrument).

Oh jeez, say it ain't so. Russ Hicks was an incredible steel player. Every once in a while I'd listen to his playing on Barefoot Jerry tunes and his duets with Jimmy Crawford. I'd always hoped I'd see ...

Perhaps I'm late to the party, but I couldn't find your recording on that url (big fan of Joaquin . . . and you).

Wow Wally, really nice! And I love the cartoon.

You might want to try an SKB case. That's what I use - it's light, and it's sturdy (but add some good foam).

The MPX 550's are still available used (on sites like Reverb). I think that was the best of their MPX and MX models.

Also. reverb pedals have come a long way - I use a Caitlinbread "Talisman& ...
