Bps showed a great Judy Collins live at the Oslo opera house,Win Jon a Fjeld.At one point in the show a pedal steel guitar player on an Emmons D-10 played some really nice stuff...I didn't get his name,but he had it going on!

I was curious.....some investigating tells me it was likely Greg Readling of Chatham County Line, the 'house band'. Not a familiar name to me. That Oslo show is out as an album and youtubes of it sound really good.

It's definitely Greg Readling of CCL playing steel w/Judy Collins and Jonas Fjeld. I haven't seen the video yet but know he played a derby green '82 PP (rebuilt by Billy Knowles) on the CD (Winter Stories, Angels in the Snow). Greg said he also plays psg on Amazing Grace during the live show and that Judy "loves the steel!"

No shock, considering that besides her hall of fame career as a folk singer and a chanteuse, she is in my hall of fame for my first 'whoa, what's that?!' encounter with steel, Someday Soon with BE (historians are debating whether I first heard this or Lloyd Green in You Ain't Going Nowhere).

I don't care what your historians may debate Jon Light, but my historians know it was You Ain't Going Nowhere two years before I heard Someday Soon.

Oh good. You want the world to know that you think you know which song I heard first. That should work out well for you.
(I do not suggest, anywhere in my post, which song was produced or released first.)

That was Greg, yes. He borrowed my 78' PP for that show. The guitar came from Seymour to Mike Sweeney, then to Bob Knight, and to me in 2007. The guitar has done 100s of gigs in Norway, no issues what so ever, hardly needs tuning

Speaking as a MOD:

Jon,
Stay polite, dude. You're approaching violation of our rules.

Everyone,
Be kind to each other. Times are stressful enough.

Don't make me come over there!

Seriously, no personal attacks. No "he started it" either. It's childish. Nobody wants to read that in a thread about Judy Collins' steel player.

Wow,Its like just woke up from a three year nap...What happened to my thread about about Judy Collins steel guitarist?
