Just caught a Shania Twain show on TV here that was a live show in Chicago. Looks like the steel player had a Derby. Lots of closeups of the steel. Who is it?

Mr Winnie, are you the Winnie Winston that put out the "Pedal Steel Guitar" book with Bill Keith? the one that has all the pro's pictures and copedant's they were using at the time? if so, you are one of the first steel players to get me started on the steel guitar.  which I am very grateful.

It was fun doing (way back then in the stone age) and it's nice to know that a lot of folkls have found it useful!

"...a lot of folks have found it useful."
Now there is an understatement!
We're talking about the bible of pedal steel guitar. "In the beginning..."

| It's not just a local thing, either--a few days ago, one of my students here in Northeastern Spain proudly showed me a copy he had just gotten. |

| Another great service Winnie did for all us steelers in the past, was to review all the new goodies @ the St Louis convention each year in the PSGA magazine! |

Dave, you are correct, it is Marc Muller. Mark bought a pedal from me. He lives in New Jersey. A great fellow with a whole lot of talent. Marc is a very humble nice guy.
Marc is a real credit to steel guitar. Mark sent me his own C.D. of original tunes. It is a really great C.D. If you get a chance, buy one. It is a mix of great original playing. |

| Mr. Winston is also a phenomenal banjo player. I used to see him with the New York Ramblers (Which featured an obscure mandolin player named David Grisman)at Gerdes Folk City. Her had this hard as nails "Foggy Mtn Breakdown" tone,the tone that Scruggs had when he first recorded the song in 1951 and he cooks...I always loved his version of "Farewell Blues"....homage Mr. Winston...Peter Dollard |

Wow, Winnie Winston. Yep, got your book, too, along with my 1st pedal steel. An MSA semi-pro back in 1976. Many of us owe you a big "Thanks" for getting us started.
Twain gig is great for the steel. Plus get to do a couple on lap steel and play a bunch of guitars. Got lucky.
Keith, thanks again for the kind words and glad you liked my CD. I have a closet full of them with a new one in the works. Anyone interested feel free to email me. Thanks |

Was my Bible too! Mel Bay didn't have a steel book at that time either. Not even sure if he does now or not, but oh well. Winstons's book did the trick for me!

Bob,
Scotty wrote the Mel Bay steel E9th instruction book. Both Winnie's and Scotty's books are highly recommended and for anybody like me who is trying to learn it doesn't hurt to have both. |

There's only so much someone can take in about learning the PSG in the first 3 months, but after reading a bunch on the boards here, the Winnie Winston book has to be the next piece of the "puzzle" I'm looking forward to working with.

| Hi Winnie, I was motivated by your book back in the 70`s. Also, thank you for your invention whereby you use a lowering mechanism to raise on those old MSA`s, with only double-raise double-lower. I have an old MSA. I machined and installed them. They work fine. Regards, Manny Escobar. |
