Mac Atcheson - late 1990's "Live"

Bill Ferguson · From: Milton, FL USA

This video was made in the "back room" at my steel guitar mentor's home in the late 1990's, not too long before Mac passed away in 2003.

Mac was a genius not only playing the pedal steel, but a mechanical genius to make any steel work properly. In this video, Mac had been working on a friend's ShoBud and was was testing it out.

So Mac set up a video camera, turned on some Jeff Newman/Bob Browning tracks and here's what you have.

Mac was one of the founding members of WSB TV's Peachtree Cowboys. I can remember Buddy Emmons telling me one day "If I could play like Mac, I might just make it with the steel guitar thing".

I still miss this man so much. He is the SOLE REASON that I took up steel guitar.

Enjoy

I remember sitting in that back room being amazed at what Mac would play.

Such artistry. Subtle and sophisticated. He is a true legend.
