And Marino has my vote so far.
But Bill, your OP specified Pedal Steel, and Marino does't even have a volume pedal!

Ok, he get's my vote too, if I had one.

Ha! Technically you are right but it is MY $50. :)

And that is just too cool.

Maybe straight steel players are just so much cooler than pedal steel players.

You guys gonna get beat by a guy who doesn't even have a volume pedal?

Okay,

Amendment to the rules: after Howard, all steel players are now included. If you play steel, you are welcome to join the contest. (actually I realize if I'm waiting for only pedal steel players who are cool, we'll never make it 20 and b0b won't get his money). :)

At this point, the non-pedal guys are kicking butt.

I sure do not think I look cool playing. My head bent down showing my balding going on. However, no one has commented that it hurts their eyes, yet.
