Lawrence Welk

Post by Buck Dilly »

Who played pedal steel on the Lawrence Welk show. Though I have not seen it in a while, I seem to recall a white mica PP Emmons Steel. Buck

Hey Buck....I remember "Blue Sparks From Hell" playing at the now defunct (it's a gourmet grocery store now) Lone Star Cafe in the 80's. Fun and crazy band.......

Shortly after posting the note, I saw Buddy playing Steel Guitar Rag on a Fender. His tone was delicious. Thanks for the notes. Buck
