Hey,
Got a really sweet Clinesmith S-8 (black!) Fry Pan. Love it.
Just wondering what are some of the essential recordings and players on the Fry Pan steel? I'd like to make a play list.
Thanks! |

Andy, on your last link it’s impressive how an authentic frypan stands out vs modern incarnations. I can never get the sound right on my newer ones, maybe it’s the seasoning, like the more you use it the more it just…sizzles and things just slide around easier.

Hey Mike, do you know what Andy Iona songs are frypan? I've seen him pictured with other steels. He's my favorite player of the "earlier" players...maybe didn't have the chops of some of the other players (like Sol) but his playing is so sweet (and his songwriting was his greatest gift).

| Similar to Nick, I'm wondering about Dick McIntire recordings! His are hard to find. |

I would say, and this purely speculation, that most of his 1930s recordings, which I think began in 1933 or 34, were with a Frypan. Here is a quintessential Frypan sound.

I have a few hours of Dick McIntire recordings that I will try to put back up on YT. I took them down because YT was blocking the audio for certain of the songs.

Yeah, Carefree is just magical. Almost all single note and slow...I worked out how to play that song before I learned Sleepwalk, if that says anything lol! My favorite recording of his by a mile (though Ho'i Mai, so beautiful). His vibrato just kept sustaining the string after most of the sound had decayed.
