Nickie - lady steel guitarist - VIDEO
This video has been posted a couple of times in the Steel Players section, but I thought it also deserved mention in the non-pedal section.
The video looks like it was made in the 1960s. She's playing a Gibson ElectraHarp, but she doesn't touch the pedals at all. I love her playing! This makes me realize how much I Don't know about steel guitar history and some of the players.

Thanks Doug, that was very interesting and entertaining. I wasnt familiar with her. I have a friend in Az, Margie Mays, that might know of her. Margie is a wonderful non-pedal player and has been playing steel since she was 8. She plays the Texas and Az show and I think has played in St Louis...good friend of Scotty and she was a good friend of Jerry Byrd as well...sorry, didnt mean to hi-jack your post, just made me think of her. I go over to her house and take lessons from time to time...a wealth of info and talent too.

Doug, here is a photo of Nickie with the Multiharp she bought new in the 1960s. Photo from A. R. Duchossoir's book, "GIBSON Electric Steel Guitars 1935-1967".

That was beautiful, Doug. Looks like her heyday was the 60s but the duet video looks much later .... 80s or 90s maybe.

post 1/07/15 of Chris Sattler...
Thank you Chris, for this comment very fair !
Do not confuse " volume " and " expression "...
With his classical training, Nickie uses his pedal to
"express" his own musical intentions.But it is also,
of corse when it interprets covers of standards...
