I record all the Larry's Country Diner shows and happened to watch the last one that aired on RFD and Mike Johnson was on with Daryl Singleterry. I was thoroughly engaged in that show from start to finish. Mike did a great job and the steel was center stage with Mike explaining the difference in the two necks, closeups of the pedals and levers. Mike is one of the best.

That was a good show. Mike did a great job as usual. I thought his tone was great. I know he usually plays thru a N 400 but an angle shot of the amp made it look wider than a Nashville, maybe a Sessions 400.

Yeah, I think it was a Session 400 and it sounded so good. Mike looked like he was having a great time.

Mike really done some awsome steel on Justin Moores new album. Man he keeps outdoing himself. I hope I get a chance to watch hime some day. I didnt know he does Daryl Singletary's studio steel sutff, that cool! No wonder I love it so much

Quite often, the Larry's Country Diner shows turn up on DVD. I will keep my eyes open for the one that contains this episode. Just love Mike's playing.

If anybody has Daryl's CD w/ "I Never Go Around Mirrors" on it,check out Mike's steel break on it. It'll bring a tear to a glass eye!!

Roger Francis · Post by **Roger Francis** » 11 Nov 2012 3:00 pm

I have that CD Smiley its great, I worked on that song and it's very pleasing to the ear to play, I use it as one of my practice tunes to stay in shape
