Wow !; I notice the bar looks like a regular 10 string pedal steel bar in the video. Is that correct? or just the camera angle?

Nice! I played your new recording along side Dick McIntire's and they really sound incredibly similar in tone. Is there any chance that Dick played this on a Magnatone like the one you are playing?
I thought he only played a Frypan except for celebratory endorsements?

Fantastic playing. I love that tune--it's really amazing to see how accurately and fast your hands have to work together to pull that off. I particularly love the little turnaround at 1:18!

Hi Richard! On this one I used one of the small Dunlap lap steel bars. I forget the actual model number as I got it a long time ago :)

That’s a good question! I wish I knew what he played on his recordings. He was involved with Dickerson steel guitars so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he used them on his recordings.
