The Steel Guitar Forum

I see from Cindy's site that she's picked up a chunk of the summer tour including Calgary, Portland, and California - so not yet a true homebody. I asked Eddie at a recent show in Ann Arbor, "Won't they let you sit...?" One of the tougher musicians out there. One of the roadies mentioned t...

Is it Russ Blake? Makes sense..., but I checked some images and Russ usually wears his wedding ring and more hair on his arms. (Only steel players recognize people from fingers and hands....)

Not paying much attention to who's where - surprised to see the maestro, Dean Parks, holding down steel duties for Lyle Lovett last night in St. Louis. Tasty, educational, traditional, and not so traditional sounds from smack in the middle of the large band. We missed you Buck - but I couldn't stop ...
