Nice to see Dee Lannon again. She's been living here in Austin a long time now, I worked with her a bunch. Her husband Lars Albrecht is lead guitarist for Gary P. Nunn.

| Herb, I spent a few years working for Dee and it was a seriously fun time. Good songs and she could sing, not to mention that she was a great 'front person'. The room would be rock-a-billy men with pompadour hair dancing with women in poodle skirts and Betty Page hairdos. I would go back and do it again, in an instant. |

| I played with Dee in the Bay Area before she moved to LA. Everything Chaz and Herb said. Dee and Lars are great people. |

The steel is becoming popular among singer/songwriters who are not particularly country oriented, but just like the sound of the instrument. This is where the instrument is heading. Let's hope more of those people hire more steel players.
BTW, Rock and roll Hall-of-famers Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders now have a steel players named Eric Heyward in their lineup. The band is still touring and playing to SRO crowds in in huge auditoriums, and all their fans are hearing lots of steel.

Nice to see some love for Dale Murray, a guy who most certainly influenced me to start playing.
From the following Matt Mays record, there's a cut called Good People that also really made me want to play. Not sure if Dale played on this or if it was Brad Conrad, who used to play the part live.

Posted 30 Oct 2012 7:59 am Here's a 60 piece string orchestra with steel guitar

Here's how great a steel guitar can sound with a 60 piece string orchestra from south of the border. The tune is "MEMORIES of MARIA" by Jerry Byrd. It's on the home page of the jerrybyrd-fanclub.com
As one can see, the steel guitar if played appropriately, can meld into just about any musical setting.
What do you think of it?

Nice to see fellow Canadian steelers Joshua & Aaron picking up the torch. I would assume they know the names Buddy Cage,Ron Dann,Bob Lucier, Steve Smith, Al Brisco, Burke Carroll & Dennis DeLorme who all laid the foundation of that style of playing in the earlier folk era that was so prevalent in the mid sixties. The steel has been widely used by Sneezy Waters, Willie P. Bennett, David Essig, Max Mouse & the Gorillas, Ian & Sylvia & NRPS. I think it's all just great music & don't see a huge difference between the labels attached to the style.."Just sayin". I would love to see the steel involved where ever anyone has the courage to apply it because it's capable of anything if the right person is playing it. I don't know how to post the songs on here but 2 other examples of this kind of playing are Livin In A Dirty Town by Willie P. Bennett from his Take My Own Advice CD & We All Want What We Can't Have by The Warren Brothers on their King Of Nothing CD. I know for a fact that steel player learned from all the steelers listed above. Just glad to see this instrument expand & survive.

This has also been my favorite example that the pedal steel can do anything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNY_R3FmmBw

| From an old "78" RPM record in 1949 ," Careless Hands " , Sammy Kaye featured steel with a pop dance band. Look it up on Utube to give a listen !! Beautiful sounds from an old non-pedal Hawaiian steel guitar !! |

Chas,
Pretty cool sounds you have going on, especially the track from American Beauty.
Did you use a lot of reverb on the track?
Thanks for posting
Steve

Here is the live recording of my chamber music group. The instruments are viola, cello and steel. (Note: I'm playing the melody on the bass strings of my U-12.)

Aside from a few of my friends, the audience consisted of classical music lovers, most of whom had never seen a pedal steel guitar before. Suffice to say they were quite intrigued.

Steve, on those kinds of sessions, "floating steel", I typically use my Eventide H-8000 to get the delay. It has 2 "engines" and if I use both of them in a cascade, I usually use a chorus/delay into a long delay.
Before I got the H-80000, back in the early '90s, I "cascaded" 3 Eventide H-3000s and I used variations of pitched delays, octaves, 5ths and 2nds into other delays. The trick was to keep the steel guitar "identity" and make a new sound at the same time.
I recently had a call for a tv show called Enlightened, that Laura Dern is in, where I played very simple single note phrases. The steel guitar really shines in that environment. |
