Here’s another video that shows him clearly. Sounds like it must be Charlie Owens?

So is that Charlie Owens in that photo? If so, what’s his story? Any background information on him?

I don’t think it’s Ned Davis! He looks way different from Ned, right?!

Who is playing pedal steel with Jerry Lee at this show? He can be seen throughout the video but most clearly at around the 13:45 mark. Please let me know! Thanks in advance!

Here’s my 1972 Professional, and my new (to me) 1973 LDG!

You just can't bring up Buddy Cage's picking without bringing up his amazing work with Great Speckled Bird. Definitely my favorite stuff he did!

Here's my cover of a wonderful instrumental called "Walkin' Through My Heart" written by Bobby Wayne and originally performed by Merle Haggard's band, The Strangers. The version you hear in the video was arranged and recorded completely by myself. Please leave some feedback on the video an...

Thanks Larry! I love this new sitar bar. It really sounds great!

Thanks Fred!

Greg Forsyth wrote:Great arrangement Caleb, and you've got that sitar sound going! Is it the Hillman bar or are you using effects?

Thanks Greg! I’m just using the Hillman bar, and a little bit of reverb from the amp!

Here's my cover of "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles. This one was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was the first Beatles song to ever feature George Harrison on sitar. The version you hear in this video was arranged and recorded completely by myself. I will also add a that I'm ...

I’m loving all of these! Keep ‘em coming!

I’m looking for some examples of pedal steel played with a sitar bar, or with a sitar effect. Specifically some examples from 60’s and 70’s records. Please share as many songs as you can think of! Thanks everybody!

Thanks so much Tommy, I appreciate the kind words!

Here's my cover of a really cool old instrumental called "Jonesy". This tune was written by the great Hal Rugg and George Jones himself, and was originally performed by The Jones Boys. Please let me know what you think! Hope you all enjoy!

What are some early recordings featuring fuzz pedal steel? I’m specifically looking for songs from the early 1960’s to the late 1970’s. I have already heard stuff like “Christine’s Tune” by The Flying Burrito Brothers, “Silver Threads & Golden Needles” by Linda Ronstadt, “Honky...
