Before you knew...
Before you knew anything about a steel guitar, who's sound was most impressive to your unprejudicial taste?
To the vast majority of your audience, your delivery as a player (live) is all the information they have, to make a judgement about you as a steel guitarist.
By the time I was nine years old, I had heard quite a few steel guitarist play live. I must say Johnny Sibert with his 26" Fender Stringmaster had the best delivery.
As we mature as an artist our taste change as we work at polishing our own playing.
But remember, all the majority of your audience knows is what they hear at the moment you are playing.

In my case this was in the 70's and Lloyd Green was known as "Mr. Nashville Sound". I didn't know or care at the time, but I would later discover that a majority of the albums I bought in the 70's -- excluding Merle Haggard albums-- had Lloyd Green on the steel.
So I guess that really means that Lloyd was on 3 of the 5 non-Hag albums I bought in the 70's.

gene jones, try autry's steel player as 'frankie marvin' of the marvin brothers. they also had a little piece of history in the les paul, chester burton saga as well if memory serves. those autry slides were great ! the audio by the time they got to us rarely sustained the final breath of the octave,,remember? after visiting your web page , it does cause many to tip all hats to the performers as well as the true musicians over those years. precious memories on ya,

Around 1982 Buddy Emmons(who I had never heard of) played a small club near Fort Worth and I sat in absolute disbelief at his ability.
After the show I was soo depressed I almost threw my guitar in the dumpster after leaving the club because I knew I would never play that good.
He is and always will be my favorite.

Cops aren't paid much so I steel at night.

His name was Marshall Dozer, managed a Dairy Queen in Port Isabel, TX. He had played steel as a "Pro" in Vagas but couldn't feed his family. He played a few gigs with our band fronted by Skipper Copeland of Brownsville, TX @ the Carosel early 70s. I was trying to learn 6 string back then. I didn't get a steel until 79, but I blame him for it and all the pain it has caused ever since. Couldn't get that sound out of my head. Last I heard, he was a big Dairy Queen guy in Larado. Played a ZB Custom, real pretty. DS<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Dick Sexton on 06 November 2006 at 03:02 PM.]</p></FONT>
