Current players list could be endless but I am trying to do more of a ‘historic household names’ list to kick off with so the start of this list is more significant.

This was a 'top of the head recall'
Please don't be offended if I have missed you, my small brain! I know!!! I'm doing my best but I forget then say .. goodness! how could I have missed him/her! :oops:

Regards and thank you ....Bob
:)

ps. I'll tackle our side of the pond when this is sorted!

Roy Wiggins and Pete Drake certainly were houshold names when I was growing up.

which leads to......Roy Ayres, Buzz Evans, Sarah Jory, Basil Henriques, David Hartley, Buddy Charlton...Junior Brown...

Oh my gosh I can't believe I didn't see David Hartley's name on that list. I thought the consensus here on the forum was that he is the greatest PSG player bar none.

Stuart, (To alleviate misunderstanding)I know David and his name is not there nor is Baz or Sarah and a host of others because I have a need to compile a Chronological US/Canadian list from the infancy of Pedal Steel! I will be talking to DH in a few weeks at the ISGF where the reasoning for this will come to light! As it happens Sarah will be there too I think.

best to you all, Bob

thx again Billy!
