You non-pedal players (and even pedal players) will like this clip of the late Little Roy Wiggins, Mr. Tingaling, playing "The Old Rugged Cross"

Yes, but Little Roy often had a low E string he used in Steel Guitar Rag...and he did have both necks tuned the same in case he broke a string on the Opry.
It was a pleasure to do his charts for the staff band plus getting to play the bass.

What a sweet sound by a sweet man. I knew Roy for along time before my wife Linda met him. She fell in love with him and his family like I did and we all had some great times together. We miss those times so much. Thanks Bill for another great memory and keep them comin'. Bobby and Linda

:lol:

Great tribute to a fine steel guitar player, Mr. Roy Wiggins; he and Jerry Byrd were my idols, in the field of steel guitar pickers; They both were instrumental in my endeavors to become a student of this great guitar. Thanks, Bill; it would be nice if you can furnish us with another of Roy's fantastic hits. I especially loved him when he worked with the great Eddie Arnold.. Keep um' coming, Bill..Bernie :P

***** Once again.
I was never very fond of the ting a ling sound even back then. Little Roy could play the Steel as well as Yehudi could play the Violin and send chills up and down your spine. Jay Y.
