Junior-
You have said it so right. It's all music.

When I was playing before WWII and shortly after.
We played everything. Blues, Cowboy, pop, old standards, Hit Parade, jazz, Polkas, Waltzes, some semi classical, Western, country , Hawaiian ,as played then without pedals, later with pedals, this was all done on Steel Guitar.

They didn't pidgenhole you in those days to just one type of music.

You were expected to play anything and we did!

If Robert R gets the public to realize that the Pedal Steel Guitar is more than just pushing Pedal A and B, he will have done a big service for the Pedal Steel Industry....
