One of my favorites from the 70's..
The steel guy sounds a bit like Buddy Cage.. Just like a LOT of us did back in the 70;s... bob

:) In the comments section of this video https://youtu.be/MF5M6uEssxk the personnel is listed. The pedal steel player named is Neil Harry. Guess the band was pretty popular around Tucson in the 70's, 80's. I enjoyed listening to some of their other songs listed in the sidebar. Thanks Bob.

The other Tuscon band from that era I still love is The Dusty Chaps. Less steel on the albums but some pretty cool, 'left field' songs and arrangements.

I played the "Overland Stage" on miracle Mile in Tucson around '87. Anyone know it?
A couple D-10s,some vintage guitars & amps, & lotsa junk in the gig bag.

My band in NJ covered Disco Sucks way back in the late 70's.. Those bar hoppers went absolutely berserk over it... bob
