I just loved that performance and don't think there is a better sound than the Tricone.

One of the things I notice about your videos...the sound! Love that warm, loping, bassy backing track. And the tricone sounds so warm...sweeter than they often can (in either less skilled hands, or when recorded by someone less skilled in that stuff...both cases fit me! :) ) Bravo.

I caught this on facebook a few days back. Glad it appeared here. When I was and still am looking for inspiration and trying to find how this older music actually sounded on lap steel instruments by the great players of the day......You soon run out of options. This is a wonderful example of everything I have been looking for. Sebastian has clearly got a love of the music and has worked really hard to achieve the level of musicianship to play this music. It is not just the notes. The tone and phrasing are sublime...as is the guitar backing track. This is not a few hour video shoot. This is a lifetime of dedication and playing. Just brilliant. I hope there will be more videos coming.
