Phew....... been a long time, partly because of technical problems but also because this was a terribly difficult song to do..
"Drifting" is now up on MySpace, in an instrumental version. I planned to play the melody on lap steel, but for some reason it just didn't work out no matter what I did, so I ended up playing the melody on my Strat.
The first solo (with the auto-wah) is the Lap King Rodeo lap steel, and the intro/backing lap steel is the Asher EH Junior.
Next tunes on my list is a bare bone version of "Up From The Skies" (just acoustic guitar and acoustic lap steel, plus vocals) and "Bold As Love" in a slightly 'countrified' version with the talented and lovely Marianne Rodvelt on vocals (we play together in the acoustic band Local Zoo) and lots of lap steel - I promise!

Steinar, with all my years of deep listening to many, many genres of music somehow I've only heard very little of Hendrix's music besides a few of his hits so I came to this new music of yours without any preconceived notions. I like it a lot! Inger's vocal blends so well with your style and the engineering is very well mixed and present. Looking forward to the final version.

Stunning revelation
Andy, how does one, especially a musician, reach the years you have and not have put any real listening time into THE most 'connected to the heavens' musician of our times/ever?
If nothing else, Steiner's efforts have borne fruit by turning you on, and that alone is a triumph.
Keep up the great work, Steiner!

Been a while, and just in case anybody's waiting for the next 'installment', here's an update.
Bad news - due to technical problems in the studio, plus illness and death in the family, I've had to take a longer break.
Good news - back in the saddle again, today I had a meeting with one of Norway's finest session drummers and played the stuff I've finished so far. He enjoyed it so much that he offered to replace my programmed drums for free!!
This means I won't be posting any new tracks on MySpace until the album is finished, as the rest of the tracks will only have programmed "guide drums" that I don't want to make public until he does the real drums.
With this guy on drums I think I can safely guarantee a killer album!
I reach the proud old age of 50 in December, and the album will definitely be available for my 50th..

Wow.
I've been tempted to start a thread and ask if anybody has done Little Wing on steel, a whole collection like this is cooler than I'd ever imagined. Sounds great.
