I find it a little sad that nowhere through his interview does Johnny Farina credit brother Santo for actually being the steel player on their crucial hit singles and albums in the 1960's and 70's. We just get this (deliberate?) impression that Johnny has played steel guitar all along. From what I have seen and heard, Johnny does not possess the feel and dynamics of Santo.

There was a very good interview of Johnny Farina, in Premier Guitar, maybe 2 to 3 years ago. Much more of a discussion about the music and Santo is given his due.
