Here is a clip that a band I'm in did for an insurance company. I am actually heard constantly on this track but its not so obvious that its a pedal steel I guess.

I did submit a new slogan for the company:

"Making your money into our money. Its what we do."
I haven't heard back from them yet but I'm hoping.

A funny thing is on the first one we did a woman that lives up the street is an actress in it. She is the mopey office woman that saves the Chinese dude from a bunch of falling boxes.

The ad is about how everybody should be nice to each other and then send a large portion of there income to the swell guys at the insurance company.

Bob, I saw his commercial on tv earlier tonight and noticed the steel. I like your sense of humor about it. I hope you were able to make some of their money yours!

Bob,

That sounds real good. Congratulations on the commercial. I know those opportunities can pay pretty nicely.

Cheers!
Mark

I suddenly feel under-insured.

Those commercials are vile, but it IS nice to hear Hem while I'm being brainwashed. Now, where's my checkbook?

So, now that you're a sellout, do I have to sell all my Hem cds?

"Making your money into our money. Its what we do."

Hee!

Very, nice. I note the video changed from a few weeks back. The one that played first time I looked had "the mopey office woman that saves the Chinese dude". So I guess you played on several. I must be a total dolt, I had a very hard time figuring what parts were the steel in the "Girl saves Chinese Dude" episode. The reason I decided to check again today, was to see if my ears were any better, this second video "girl saves pizza man", I do hear the steel.
