Thanks for the compliments...Jack, Johnny and Bent, I have not been playing the Steel much lately, but have seen so many of ya'll put YouTube Video's out I figured might as well get on the Pedal Steel and do a few...I am going to post another one on the Tube today and will post it later. Thanks again to all...

Hey Brian,

Nice job and I'm not sure how long you've been playing but you seem to play with a lot of confidence.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Dick...Thanks for the compliment, I bought my first Pedal Steel back in 1977 and tried to teach my self...wrong idea, that won't work too well, so I started to get a little help where ever I could find some...not much back then down here, but I finally found some in around 1979 and started learning a little, then after a little confidence I starting playing with a Country Band...that lasted for about 6 years and then quit playing for the next 14 years, then started back in 1999...boy has it been a difference since I first started, it's like I had to start all over. Anyway I am back and plan on keep on keepin' on as long as possible. Take care and hope to see you and others at the Dallas Show...Brian
