The Steel Guitar Forum

Yesterday evening I played a gig (all lap steel - Weissenborn and Dobro) here in Brighton, an event for a charity called The Cambodia Trust in a small venue. The atmosphere and the audience were great, and I wanted to share a song from the gig with you:

You can also hear the FAT sound from the Lazy River through a combination of the K&K Pure Western Mini pickup and an SM57 mic.

It seems everyone loves lap steel when they hear it - strange that not more people over here play it!

Have a good day!

Very nice Fred! Funny story too....

Very cool video Fred!
Wonderful tone from the Lazy River . .
And you had that audience in the palm of your hand before you even played the song.

Fred, another excellent video! Thanks for sharing.

I really love this one too:

I use a K&K Pure Western + Baggs Para Acoustic on my regular acoustic along with an SM57 and get excellent results as well.

Good one Fred ... funny wheelbarrow story too

Nice playing, Fred. My Lazy River should arrive in a couple of days and I hope I can make it sound half as good as you do.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed the gig!

Eric - you're in for a treat! My Lazy River just keeps sounding better and better and I have not for one second regretted chosing a Lazy River as my Weissenborn-style guitar!
