The Steel Guitar Forum

That's funny about George Strait. Old Country meant something to me in the 1970's, A few pre-WW2 artists were still performing then. Garth Brooks would be considered old country to today's teens, Hank Jr would be considered really old, and Hank Sr would be ancient, lol.

Here's a great example of steel guitar in a song written and performed by Bill Anderson.

Here's the live version with Weldon Myrick on steel
