The Steel Guitar Forum

Free music from a wonderful play I've been involved with for some time... "The Blue Flower". Music by Jim Bauer. Pedal steel on every track. All real, honest to goodness musical instruments (no synth), and human beings playing and singing.

Here's the link: https://soundcloud.com/secondstagetheat ... lue-flower

PS: Not implying that synths are not musical instruments, but here, when you hear a bassoon, it's a bassoon, or bass or cello etc...not a patch.

Really great! Tastes good:)

Tänu nii palju. naudi seda

PS The Bassoonist on the recording is one of the greats of the instrument, who also happens to be Estonian..Mr. Martin Kuuskmann.

John, a beautiful score and impressive integent use of PSG.

Darn it! These on-line sound files will never open for me; this one won't, either.

Beautiful music! Music made on the steel guitar as part of an ensemble, not steel guitar music. Beautifully played......great John--

Wow! Congrats to friendship of pedal-steel & bassoon:)

I work with every year at a music camp in Blaine, WA

He is a terrific player - you, too!!!

That's really great John! Nice to hear this blend of instruments.Hope to see you sometime soon.

and my pal Jaanus from duo Jaanus Nõgisto & Tõnu Timm (nogistotimm.com) remembers Martin very well. World is small:)

My kind of music. John what you played is so tasteful. I would love to play with a show like that.

Hey John,
Great songs, beautiful playing. Also thanks for taking the time to talk to me about the many mechanical intricacies of the psg.
