I have often said the greatest pair of hands to ever have been on top of a steel guitar belong to Tommy. Excellent.

Dick, the part your talking about .. never heard anything like it, I "Think" a lot of it is done with the "Franklin Pedal" I believe he has is split up, half of the change on floor, and a knee...he gets the most out of that PF change than I ever heard...

Maybe the best pair of hands, Michael, but his right foot ain't too bad either! Tommy's in control of everything, isn't he?

I gotta hear more of this! This sound effects me physically in a very other wordily way. My breathing has changed. Gotta figure a way to loop this.
