Here's a track I recently did an overdub for. Really proud of how this turned out!

Means a lot Dale, you've followed me from almost the very start, when I was 16. Great to see comments like this showing my progression. Sometimes you get stuck in a rut and sometimes you get lost in how far you've come to realize it. The past 2 years have really brought me on. Something clicked. Just hope to keep moving.

Nicely done... Liked the sound you/they established as well.. had a nice edge without being too trebly, good sustain as well.. I would be very happy with that session... bob

You are definitely clicking, and you can take the “wannabe” qualifier out of your profile. That is some sweet playing.

Excellent. Your playing in this reminds me of our dear departed John Hughey with Dickie Betts “Highway call”. Pure pedal steel tone with feeling. As my hero Paul Franklin said, “Bravo”. You’re on your way!

Thanks Larry and Paul King, much appreciated!


Hi Paul (Franklin),

Thank you for the compliments. Your teaching method has brought me to this point after being stuck in a rut previously. As mentioned before, the last 2 years have been big for my development as a steel player and musician. I'll keep practicing with your method and learning!

Hi Tommy,

Again, thank you for the compliments! Your comment about John Hughey really makes me happy as he is one of my heroes.

Great to have positive comments from the both of you as you're in the list of my heroes! You both have really made my morning along with the other comments here.
