Met another SGF member tonight

Post by Doug Clark »

Tonight when I went to the monthly open mic held at a restaurant in a town next to mine (just about 3 miles up the road from my house), there was a Zum Encore on the stage. Huh; first time I'd seen a pedal steel at the OM.
The player backed up several performers, and he was pretty good. The OM is generally all-acoustic, but I think he used a Roland Micro Cube.

Checking the members list, there are a number of people in Maine, and even some who list "Midcoast" or "Mid-Coast," my region of the state, as where they're from. I wasn't formally introduced to the steel player, but my Google Fu tells me it was Frank Bedell.

He said he hasn't been on SGF for awhile, so I hope our conversation reminds him to check in soon. Maybe he'll get a feeling we're talking about him, and log in to see what we're saying. :mrgreen:

Good steelin', Frank. 8)
