I believe that he was backing up John Prine and Steve Goodman to get a record contract in the the early seventies. Slight topic drift I know, but these two had steel on their records.

Pretty schmaltzy - and features a mandolin instead of a steel guitar! Swing it, add a steel guitar and lose the "uh" syllable added at the end of every line and you've got a hit! Laughing

I wonder if he got his glass of wine, because it doesn't seem like he got his steel guitar.

I heard a lot of the guys back in those days would sit in the studio all day and record new songs just in the hope they would find one that would catch on.

Frank Sinatra sang about "stars and steel guitars" in his great song "It Happened in Monterrey." But there was nary a steel guitar on the recording.

Didn't matter one whit to me. It's a great performance. Actually most of my favorite music to listen to nowadays doesn't have a steel guitar within miles.
