Here's a clip of Buddy's solo on my song "Waiting", that was recorded in the late 80's. There are no fades in the Imusic program, so the intro and outro to the clip are a little abrupt: http://picosong.com/6HAq/.
I also play steel. In the clip I play rhythm.
I love Buddy's bottom string "slapping" @ 48 seconds.

Great Psychedelic Music! To bad that it's so short.

Here is a Soundcloud link to the epic song (15 minutes):

It's about a friend's struggle with the bottle.
Perfect length for modern day attention spans and airplay. :0)

Wo, sounds like mid jam on the grateful dead tune "The Other One".

Here is a clip of Buddy's 2nd solo: http://picosong.com/6dq4/
Note the Pat Martino chromatic octave lick.
BTW, the guitar solo previous to this, on the whole version is my childhood pal, Rick Plant. He makes excellent use of a Hipshot B bender.
He now lives in Australia and has played for Allison Moorer, Buddy Miller & Pure Praire League, among others.

Very cool, Chris. Something unexpected rhythmically, Buddy soloing over it sounding like Little Feat, and then... all too short, but sweet.

Thank you, Charlie. Never thought of a Little Feat sound. I really like their grooves on "The Last Record Album" and "Feats Don't Fail Me Now".
Brett, I hear what your saying about "That's All For The Other One".
At some point in his soloing, Buddy gives a nod to the jazz standard, "Facinatin' Rhythm".

I realized that the full track was set to private in Soundcloud, so I've changed it to public if anyone wants to hear the whole piece: https://soundcloud.com/tapsteel/waiting .

I'm glad you did, Chris. Not that often do I get to hear a steel piece fully developed as music should be, and this one is good accompaniment
for when I'm writing of an early morning. For my tastes, too much music is presented in short format, and I like things well-developed.
(Hanging with it for a while, I get to hear Buddy doing Plus Nine, exploring harmonizers. That exploratory side of him doesn't get as much play.)

I really like Waiting--the composition and the playing. I dig what you do. Really a beautiful piece, having depth and emotion.

Thank you, Charlie. Your comment reminds me of when Jeff Newman produced the 45rpm of "Together Again", in the 80's, with all the great steel players, in hopes of getting some good airplay. Didn't happen.
Here's a Billboard article about how they have been editing out solos in country music: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-615/6553981/guitar-solos-country-music-radio
Here's also an article in Time that says the average human attention span is 7 seconds and a goldfish is 9: http://time.com/3858309/attention-spans-goldfish/
I guess this is the price of "progress".
