Jeff plays on the Penny Gilly show. Anybody know him? He is a good player, and seems pretty laid back.

Jeff is one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. He is a terrific steel player and can play just about anything quickly after years of being the steel player at the Grapevine Opry.

You have described him perfectly. That sums up his personality perfectly.

I had the fortune of jamming with Jeff several years back while I was taking a class at Maurice's house. Laid back... smooth... flawless... and he was playing stuff along the lines of what we typically hear from Paul & TW.

Jeff is a Forum member as well, though he doesn't post often.

Jeff is just one of many graduates of the very informal "Washington DC School of Pedal Steel Guitar" that was alive and well in the mid to late 70's!
Of course there was no real school or curriculum but there were tons of bars that had live music in DC back then so you could go hear steel players all over the place.
Not to be forgotten by those of us lucky enough to be there in the that era was the fact that you could go over to Oxen Hill Music and take lessons from another very nice man, the late Buddy Charleton!
I think Jeff also held the steel seat in the Country Current for a number of years?
Hi Jeff,

I think the Dallas crew of steel players is the best in the world. Man, I wish I could watch you guys more often!

Sonny is right... That was a life-changing night!
