I play in the Praise band at Christian Life Church in Ausin, Tx. We play mostly contemporary Praise & Worship music, very little country, but the steel fits in pretty good. I use various effects to fit the song we're doing. If I played only country style, I would have been out of the band a long time ago.
Most of our group plays more than one instrument, and we've been doing rotation the last couple of months, so I've been playing guitar more than steel. I haven't played guitar much for the last 4 or 5 years, so it's taking me a while to get comfortable with it again, but it's made me work a little harder. I also play mandolin, bass, and synth guitar with the group when needed.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Gospel Steel Players
Well, I am not in the league with Scotty or Rabbit, but I play steel guitar in my band, Cross County Line. We do a gospel jubilee one Saturday per month March thru October and do Sunday PM concerts at churches whenever we can. I play steel most of the time but on some songs, I sing and play guitar

Gospel Players
I played for 10 years in a Gospel group in So. Calf. in the 70's before moving back to Canada in the early 80's. Chief Mac Thomas introduced me to the group who was looking for a Steel player at the time, while he played in another group. Now I just play occasionaly at Church and Seniors homes in the area with tracks.

I've seen plenty of references to Gospel Steel every month. You should talk to Del Ray Grace.
