getting shivers while playing a slow peice
This may sound ridiculous to some folks but my question is,, how many of you get a severe case of the shivers while playing a slow " " peice on you pedal steel? I do and some times it affects my plying so much I have to stop if I really get into 'it' and let my heart pour out. Is this totally weird or are some or alotof you guys in the same camp as me? I guess I'm just an emotional sap !

My tent is near yours in camp. But, I have to say that, it depends on the song and the mood I'm in. I, too, am an emotional person and certain tunes affect me very personally. I've learned to live with it, but, it's not easy. The PSG is an emotional instrument, to me. Some people say that, that's where your soul comes through when playing and I agree.

I'm with Erv...gospel music gets me like that, especially those songs filled with words and certain harmonies of what my Savior has done for me...even without steel in it...but just intrumental steel from Buddy, Paul, John, Tommy, or Terry Crisp...when they're sucking every once of feeling and emotion out of a phrase, well, that too can suck the tears right outta me eyes...I don't get that too much when I'm the player, but if I stumble onto something while I'm playing, I'll get a chill, and stop, and go, "what did I do, what did I do"?!?!?!?...that is pretty thrilling...

Amen Erv, Amen...Country music has the same type harmonies as the country gospel I like, but the message if far from being the same...the message in gospel music speaks to a deeper part of your heart, and conscience, and you know the Holy Spirit is the one really doing the singing.

shivers
Erv,I,ve spent many years playing with different country Gospel groups and my best playing was done under the anointing of the Holy Spirit It,s those times I find myself playing far beyond my puny abilities and doing things I,ve never learned. Does this mean our Lord and Savior is a S.G.player? Hope so.Don,t think He plays organ or accordion though
