Always loved the few recording of steel + vibes that I have come across. I'll add this youtube channel to that list!

What tunings are you using?

Thanks for listening, y'all. I love the combination of steel guitar and vibraphone! I'm just playing this on the A6 neck. Low to high: F# A C# E F# A C# E

If you like the sound of steel and vibraphone/xylophone, check out the second movement of Michael Levine's "Pedal Steel Concerto", available on YouTube.
Emerald Solace acoustic laps and Rukavina steels. Can't play, but I try!

If you like Vibraphone and Pedal Steel Guitar, I would highly recommend the Blondie Calderon and Julian Tharpe album Take Your Pick. It may be difficult to find.

Great performance. I can hear how you included Tommy Flanagan's piano response to Wes. You inspired me to work on it.
