the other day, i heard a song on the radio that had steel guitar with a big band. it sounded like it was from the 40's or so. it was great! the steel player had phrasing like a horn player. unfortunately, i couldn't wait 'til the dj said who it was. anybody got an idea who it was, and where i can hear more?
thanks, john |

Alveno Rey, according to Bobby Seymour was the father of the pedal steel. He also developed the talking guitar gizmo used by
some guitarists. Pete Drake used a diffent approach to get the same sound.
Several years ago one of the members of this forum promised me Alvino's phone number but I never did receive it. |

Gary-I had Alvino's Phone number as he didnt want to Email.
Once when he called me, he told me not to give it out. So I respected that.
Even thought he lived a full life, I still can't believe he is gone......al
