Hal is one of the best steelers you'll ever hear, fine keyboard player and excellent singer. Hal, I hope you find something soon so I can come and listen to you.

Howard you are correct. Hal Higgins is one of the top steel players in the country. He does something I wish I could do and that is play several instruments, as well as sing. He'll be a great addition to any band or group. Doesn't matter. Hal can do it folks!

Hal, you might check with my friend and forum member Marty Broussard. Do a search and you can obtain his email addy. He knows a lot of LA musicians, and he is a great steel player himself.

Hope that helps. JC
