That was very interesting. I didn't know the extent of the history of steel guitars and the black churches. I also liked the music on the Sacredstrings site. Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome Del Ray! Thanks for the kind words. I once jammed with the Campbell Brothers at the Ottawa Blues Festival in Canada. Over the years, I have had the chance to hang out with many other sacred steel players, including Lonnie Bennett. I learned so much from all of them.
