| Watching a steel player on you tube the other day I couldn't help noticing how much movement goes on with legs and knees moving all over the place - at one point the player lifted his leg to operate the up lever and I thought he was about to break wind! I don't know what the punters must think when seeing all these leg gymnastics going on but it all looks most ungainly. What's the answer? |

Are you guys sure he even had a vertical knee lever?
Coulda' been he actually was doing something else. |

Don't be afraid, it's only the wind  |

| That's a good idea for a right vertical knee lever function. It doesn't pull any strings rods. It just disguises the fact you're breaking wind. Yeh...... the BW lever. |

James Martin, I think you have too much IDLE TIME in your life.
Practice! Practice! Practice!  |

Sometimes Robert Randolph raises a leg and puts it on top of the guitar, resting it near the tuning keys, while he continues to play.
It just a visual showmmanship thing, akin to Jerry lee Lewis's piano antics in earlier generations. |

| You're right Roger and I'm enjoying every minute of it. Lucky me, I've been retired for six years now and can spend all my time practising and spending hours on the forum. What could be better? Beats working ! |
