I rarely get an opportunity to play E9th steel or even country music these days, and there's been, from time to time, probably related to the music I usually play, serious talk over whether I even know how to play the instrument.
Here are three videos, nothing special or out of the ordinary, from two country gigs I thought I'd share with you - one from last December with a Maryland band named Severn Run and another at a house party, a duet with Baltimore country singer Arty Hill.
"Shenandoah" (borrowing from Buddy Emmons):

"I can name this song in ____ notes." A little snippet from a song I think most of us have heard and played many times:

"What Would Houston Do", written by Arty Hill. Unfortunately only the steel guitar solo of this beautiful song was recorded on video:

And, of course, that old standard, "Workin' Man Blues":
