The Steel Guitar Forum

A serious subject, and serious times, but a little humor never hurts! And a big shout out to my little granddaughter for the shoes, thank you Ember❣️
Good thoughts and prayers to all, Pop

My, what big pedals you have.
Erv

Funny.

She'll never be accused of overusing the AB pedal licks.

I remember reading somebody cutting legs and pedal rods 8" under standard (maybe more, but gotta keep the levers off the floor) for a small child to play... it's almost time!

To paraphrase the old saying, "I felt bad about having no pedal steel shoes until I met Bob Womack with his size 9 1/2 EEEE feet." Ducks envy my feet. Try fitting THOSE on pedals.

Bob,
I've seen ping-pong pedals narrower than that!

I have special "pedal steel shoes". Typically boat shoes, slip-ons that are real flexible. My band mates make fun of me. They call them Chinese slippers or worse, fag shoes. Geesh, don't bother me.

You can use AB and C pedals all at the same time without moving your heel, huh?

I've used soft bedroom slipper in the past. They work just fine.

Fruit Of The Loom, white crew socks here. Never could play with shoes. Hey Steve, you are very lucky your Grand Daughter did not whoop on you for steeling her shoe!! LOL!!!

Thanks Kevin, man talk about having two left feet!

I hear you Mr. Womack
In my job as a Game Warden, They always had uniform shoes in stock that fit me. The Supply Officer said, "I was the only DUCK that worked there". I wore 8 1/2 EEEE.
I like my EEEE cowboy boots too. Short and wide Easy to hit 2 Pedals, And don't get caught in the Pedal Rods.

I heard the best shoes have an “old soul”😉

One of the guys who showed me a few things when I first started out on pedal steel had one bare foot and one sneaker on. He said I’d be totally barefoot if I could but the pedals hurt my left foot.
Also heard people say cowboy boots are good because you can rock back and forth on that heel.
