Rick, I wish I could have heard bring his marvelous tone to Reeves songs like:
Four Walls, He'll have to go, welcome to my world, etc

Thanks for remembering my dad Butch.

Terry, wow! Best song suggestion yet. Imagine by John Lennon would sound so awesome with some sweet steel being played. Talk about a song you could throw some emotion behind.

<SMALL>Imagine - John Lennon</SMALL>
Terry, EXCELLENT choice!!
Tommy is now doing one at my request that is absolutely awesome on steel - I Don't Know How to Love HIM from Jesus Christ Superstar. (Andrew Lloyd Weber)The first time he performed it was at the inaugural Georgia Peach Jam in June (as a surprise for me, since I'm on the Board - and we had worked so hard to put the jam together). Absolutely beautiful!!!!

The Eagles "Peaceful Easy Feeling". I thought it was steel when first learning how to play. I didn't find out until after I learned the lead, that it was Bernie Leadon on a Telecaster with a string bender. Image

Jim, was Bernie using a B-bender? I think all of that stuff is do-able with fingers alone. I'd be interested to know. I have met Bernie, but didn't ask that particular question!

Donna. I have never played C6th, but can imagine how First time... would sound.
Bring it on in the Tab' pages.
Cheers, Arch.

Rick, I'm not a guitar player, and have never met or seen Bernie in person. I heard he used a bender, and the bends sounded accurate, but I don't know for sure.

"Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. It already has dobro, but a few well placed steel licks would do well.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Paul Sundt on 04 October 2004 at 01:15 AM.]</p></FONT>

"Love In The Hot Afternoon" didn't have steel on it, but if you have heard Mike Sweeney's instrumental version, I think you will agree with me that Mike should have been on that session.

"Turn The Page". I used to play that with a couple of bands. Just play the sax part. Also "Take A Letter Maria" and do the trumpet stuff. And just about anything that Neil Diamond ever did. I jam to his stuff all the time.(At home alone when noone can hear!!!)
