Very nice, indeed.
I know my playing is a bit pitchy, but at least my tone sucks

Great job, David. This sounds like the same song that we heard on a previous post a couple of years ago that was done in the Faroe Islands by Sigrid Rasmussen and Magna Christiansen backed by Paul Franklin and an all-star cast from Nashville. The title appears to be different, but it could easily be the same song, just in two different languages. Perhaps one of our Scandinavian members can shed some light on this. Mona does a great job as well.

The guest singer came on before Mona Jill.

I forget her name at the moment, but will add the info when I get it.

Enjoy..

Chuck, you're right, - It's the song "Við Vegin" (by Jakup Zachariassen) that Magna & Sigrið did 2009 in a concert in Thorshavn, Faroe Islands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=782zmq4frYQ
Jakup is a VERY talented multi-instrumentalist who plays the steelguitar like a pro!

Those are some good videos. The first one you posted was good country and your steel sounded really good and clean. What a fantastic job David you did as well as the rest of the band.
