Many players do prefer natural grass to artifical surfaces.

Two necks, but three pedals. I guess he was not playing the back 10 that day.

The name Joel Patterson comes to mind. I think he's the guy who just put out a steel album called Steel is Real and plays with Beau Samples from the Cave Catt Sammy Band. Darn good picker too.

That's Gabriel Stutz of the Gin Palace Jesters, a really great local Chicago band. He's on the forum here. Pretty sure that must be his new ax. Last time I saw him he was playing a D-10 Dekley. Fantastic steel player, IMHO.

Playing on grass is no fun at all...the grass on the ground that it.
I did an outdoor gig recently and luckily I took my old steel - cause the legs started singing into the ground after the first 2 songs, not good.

I used to hate playing outside in the grass, but my wife got a piece of half inch plywood and fixed it with carpet just to where my steel and seat fit on it. Keeps everything off the grass and out of the dirt. :)

It's the Verizon Guy! "Can you hear me now" :lol:


Seriously though, Rittenberry Guitars can only be ordered and purchased through Bobbe Seymour at SGN. Bobbe has exclusive rights to Rittenberry as their only dealership/marketing outlet in the World, an agreement Gary & Bobbe have had since the Rittenberry's beginning. Note that it's a double neck with only 3 foot pedals. Maybe the back neck works as a non-pedal lapsteel. I'm sure Bobbe would remember who he sold it to.

It's also tough playing on such a soft surface. :P

Charlie, I wish I was that thin.

The fellow who took the photo got close enough to see the name Rittenbbury on the guitar.
