Janet Wise interview
Posted: 2 Jun 2022 8:53 am
It only seems appropriate to mention another Texas Steel Guitar Player
of the year. It was 1994 when Janet was given that recognition, voted
on by over 800 members. She was/is so deserving of that distinction,
having put her heart and soul into this love affair with the Pedal
Steel. She plunged into the deep end of the pool , all the while supported
by her husband of 42 years , the late Jim Wise.
From early on she went to Jeff Newman's school and it worked so well that
by now ,she has played virtually every Convention show you could name..i.e.
Texas, Tulsa, Phoenix, Atlanta , Deep South at Gulfport and numerous
smaller regional venues. Always anticipated, a genuine crowd pleaser ,
and loved by all. It takes dedication on steroids to achieve the high
regard that everyone has for Janet ..
I failed to ask her what her first steel was , but I can tell you that
when she hits the stage , it is bling on parade . Sitting behind an
absolutely gorgeous and stunningly beautiful blue , diamond sparkle
custom made Mullen and matching seat , it makes a statement that says,
get ready . Sunglasses recommended !!!
Driving up from Angleton Texas with a detour by Nederland , Janet
gets the "farthest travelled" award.....a fine Christian lady who
truly delivers a great set of songs guaranteed to please the most
discriminating ear . We look forward to seeing Janet at the OSGA
annual Convention in Jenks {Tulsa suburb} Oklahoma.
Just think about it.....where else can you go to experience not
one, but two Texas Steel Players of the Year. Only in Oklahoma
b0b notes: Janet Wise will be performing at the OSGA show in Jenk, OK, on June 24, 2022.
