If I were to get my rear kicked, I'd like it to be by Debashish Bhattacharya and Derrick Trucks.

Emmons, Day. Not only from the obvious technical standpoint, but a spiritual one as well, hoping some small fragment of their (steel playing) soul would rub off ....

Well, the fact that I have met Buddy Emmons, & he is has just a super personality, I think I would jam some country with him, but not any jazz stuff. As to Paul, he also is great, but I have never met him & he would probably scare hell out of me!! Buddy just seems to put people at ease & I don't think Buddy would laugh at my attempt!!

Are you kidding? It would be hard to pick only two just from Texas. This minute it would be Emmons and Crawford.

Well, I'm not a steeler, I am a standard electric picker.
However I am and have been for more years than I can recall, (60+ yrs) a huge FAN of the pedal steel guitar, so if I were a pedal player, my choices would be without hesitation - Curly, who many of you agree with, and Bobby White. For one reason, because they were the most "IN-TUNE" players of all in my opinion.

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 30 May 2005 6:34 am

Hey, Smiley, I mentioned Day ...

Couldn't resist that Billy... There are so many great ones its kinda like trying to pick something from a candy store... John, Paul, Lloyd, Weldon, Sonny Burnett, [I think I have his name right, never hear anyone mention him, is he still alive?], Hal, Bobbe, Julian, Jeff, Doug, Curley not to mention Garrish, Mike Johnson... How do you pick from a list like that and all the other greats that I didn't list.. Byrd, Helms, the list goes on forever..
