The Steel Guitar Forum

I record all the Larry's Country Diner shows and happened to watch the last one that aired on RFD and Mike Johnson was on with Daryl Singleterry. I was thoroughly engaged in that show from start to finish. Mike did a great job and the steel was center stage with Mike explaining the difference in the two necks, closeups of the pedals and levers. Mike is one of the best.

I saw that, too. Pretty cool.

That was a good show. Mike did a great job as usual. I thought his tone was great. I know he usually plays thru a N 400 but an angle shot of the amp made it look wider than a Nashville, maybe a Sessions 400.

Yeah, I think it was a Session 400 and it sounded so good. Mike looked like he was having a great time.

And his red PP didn't hurt

i would like to trade him outta of ole red, but there probly ain't enough money in my 401 left to make a deal.

Yes that was a GREAT show. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Mike always looks to be having a great time.Such a great player.Ron

Does anybody have his copedant -I also saw the show and was wondering about what he was doing on some licks

Try to google it. This worked for me with another steel player.RS

Mike really done some awsome steel on Justin Moores new album. Man he keeps outdoing himself. I hope I get a chance to watch hime some day. I didnt know he does Daryl Singletary's studio steel sutff, that cool! No wonder I love it so much

I have the same copy of Lary's Country Diner with Mike and Daryl Singletary singing. Great episode and tone from Mike as usual.

Would love to have seen this!

Has anyone got this?

Quite often, the Larry's Country Diner shows turn up on DVD. I will keep my eyes open for the one that contains this episode. Just love Mike's playing.

Mike is a great player, i would like to watch that video too cause i really like Daryle S.
but for the mean time we can listen to other stuff with Mike. here is one of my favorites because of the singer, this guy can sing his B-- off wow and Mikes playing is right there with him

Roger, Thanks for sharing that. G.W. is one of my all time favorites!! Mike sounds GREAT.

If anybody has Daryl's CD w/ "I Never Go Around Mirrors" on it,check out Mike's steel break on it. It'll bring a tear to a glass eye!!

I have that CD Smiley its great, I worked on that song and it's very pleasing to the ear to play, I use it as one of my practice tunes to stay in shape

Here's the Daryle Singletary cut of "I Never Go Around Mirrors".

My band mates are all Mike J fans. We do this song and borrowed angel, I love Mikes licks!!
