Phoenix Pedal Steel Recommendations Needed

Nathan Carroll · Post by **Nathan Carroll** » 24 Feb 2006 6:06 pm

Hi.

I am visiting the Phoenix area and am totally in the dark in regards to where any good pedal steel shops might be as well as any good spots to listen to some good steel playing.

Could anyone out there point me in the right direction? Addresses or websites would be appreciated as well.

Thanks!
