The Steel Guitar Forum

Not wanting to toot my own horn but it is difficult to get any kind of attention in jazz publications for a lap steel recording. Very proud of this one. While this record hasn’t generated the same kind of interest that Steelonious did—I think the playing is more jazzy and complex, which maybe doesn’t appeal so much to steel players— nonetheless, I think it was a pretty bold move to play the tunes I did with the instrumentation used. To be featured next to such accomplished guitarists as Lorne Lofsky is a real honor.

great!! toot away!!

Congrats, Mike. Horn tootin' appropriate here.

Tooting your own horn is welcome here, Mike. Congratulations on the good review!

Great review Mike, have you relocated to Brooklyn or is that just where you are recording?

Nah, Craig, that was just an incorrect assumption since I perform there a lot.

Congrats, Mike!

Thanks for the reply Mike, we can still claim you as a local hero, and I mean that!

Kudos Mike! I appreciate your innovations in tastefully pushing the boundaries of non-pedal steel. Thanks for all you do.

Thanks, Bob. My future plans are to do it less tastefully as I venture into more harmonically free music.

Congrats, Mike! Well deserved recognition.

Fantastic! I appreciate you posting this, as otherwise, I would've never seen the review or heard the music!

Mike,

I'm sure your more harmonically free music will be tasteful...

Just saw it. Congratulations!

That's awesome, Mike! Good for you for gaining recognition for your music and the instrument. Thanks for sharing -- can't wait to hear where you go next!

👍🏻🤠

Added to my playlist. Still listening to Steelonious regularly.
