| At a gig last week, a very voluptuous barfly is really digging the steel. I`m doing my best to maintain her attention. She pulls her chair right up to my steel, we`re face to face, nearly touching foreheads. after a while , on a slow ballad , I took her hand, and placed it on my steel bar, with my hand on top of hers. I was able to play slow ballads like this, complete with vibrato!! It worked well, she really enjoyed it, and the crowd went nuts. She was no stranger to attention, and milked it for all she could. If I was a little bit braver, and a lot more single.... Oh well. I guess nothing is new under the sun, I can`t imagine I`ve done anything new. Reminds me of some of the cheap tricks I did as a blues guitarist. So, how did the evening end ?? The hot honky-tonk queen got so drunk she started trying to strum/bang the strings un-invited. I had created a monster. She eventually got tossed and went psycho. Typically, Psycho chicks dig me. Just another chapter in the book of New Orleans bar gigs. |

During a show in Texas, a girl who was flirting with the lead singer after the show was onstage talking to him, was drunk, and then she sat down right in front of my steel, leaned back on my pedal rods, and bent 'em! I didn't even get to put her hand on my bar...

wow.. this is getting dirty.. I have a bunch of stories best left untold...ah well..
I often let the girls wipe the neck and fretboards on my six and twelve string electrics at the end of the gigs.. I show them how to hold the rag, and how to use it correctly for maximum visual effect... does that count?? bob |

| Reminds me of that Nicoderm commercial about the beautiful woman who's smoking and says "you know you want me", then turns into a nicotine troll as he refuses her. Transitions..... |

I know how this ended. The girl came back into the bar and started to make eyes at Steve again. Then a guy burst through the club doors and started singing to her.......... You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille..............

This reminds me of a gig I had in Aberdene, SD. Or was it Minot, ND?
Well anyway, I was playing acoustic with this road band. We were playing "Church On Cumberland Road". Remember in this song there's a break where just the acoustic guitar stums some chords? Well, I was doing my part on the tune, stepped up in front of everybody at the front of the stage and was "jammin out".
A chick from the dance floor came up and grabbed my leg and started rubbing all over me. If she'd had all of her front teeth and about 200 lbs less, I might have enjoyed it. Instead, I ran and jumped on the drum riser.
I've had plenty of similar situations with that band. It was a fun time.

This isn't specifically a "pedal steel technique" (is it?) so I'm moving it to the 'Steel Players' section where goofy gig experiences are often discussed.

OK, it's five days later, you are probably now quite emphatically, involuntarily, hopefully not too violently single. So how does this story really end? |
