A new instrumental steel guitar CD " Sweet Sound of Beautiful" is in the works and will be released at the end of April on cdbaby, iTunes and Amazon. It will be mastered by a lab in Burbank. Here is the artwork design which is in its early buggy stages. Spot any?
There are 21 steel guitar instrumental tracks featuring a variety of genres including Hawaiian, contemporary pop, country, Beatles, Shadows, and a couple of originals. Five steel guitars are featured: West Coast (C6 and B11), West Coast Steelocaster (A6), Charvel Jackson acoustic (D maj), and a MSA Classic pedal steel.

| I didn't know you played pedal steel! Am I mistaken in reading the cover's title? It looks like it reads "Beaultful". Intentional? |

The type style has the lower case "t" with its cross coming off the side instead of centered. I see that can read as an lower case L too

James, Mark vA, Paul, Charlie, thanks for the kind remarks and good wishes.
Matt, Mark R., yes I felt the same way too at first until the artist told me about the font and I then viewed it differently. But maybe I should change the font or increase spacing between the letters....
I did learn pedal steel for a couple of years under the guidance of the late great Winnie Winston in the 80's. I remember him with reverence as a humble man and great player, with a beautiful touch on the pedal steel. I have also attended workshops organized by the Big E and the late great Jeff Newman,
Many thanks for your interest, progress is being made on the CD, will update. I will have it mastered in a couple of weeks.
