| I was watching Sessions at West 54th last night starring David Byrne of Talking Heads fame. Does anyone know who the steel player was? |

| Is that right? I've seen this in rerun numerous times and always wondered. He is playing a Dekley rigged with major electronics--I forget if it's a midi rig. He seems well in control of all that he's doing. An excellent example of steel outside of the box. |

Yep, but I coulda sworn it was an MSA S-10 -- maybe on a double frame -- with a MIDI pickup

| Hmmm...I didn't see it last night so my memory isn't fresh but I recall last time I watched thinking that it was an Emmons chevron and then on closer look seeing the Dekley logo. My recollection wants to say that it was a D-10 but I really am not sure. This was the show with the Brazilian-looking female backup singer dancing and wiggling thru the whole show (not that I noticed) and Byrne comes out for one song in his inside-out human body suit. |

Are these Dekley fret markers?

OK, maybe all I got right was it was Bruce Kaphan and he used a midi pickup. Lighting wasn't good and there weren't many closeups -- and, as usual, steel wasn't exactly front and center. I stand corrected.
