The Steel Guitar Forum

I saw the Paisley show in Bakersfield, great show, but i noticed "Walk of Life" at the end of the show, I also noticed you played big chunks of PFs solo I had posted in this thread

Just wondering if you had seen that thread or if it had anything to do with my post.

Just curious.

I just talked to Randle and he learned that ride when it was first released. He was around 14yrs old when he learned it. I met Randle and Rod Janson (Dirks Bentley lead guitar) the first week after they moved here from Canada. They were staying about 10 miles from my house. He was 18 at the time. He taught me that ride to walk of life. Even at 18 he was really playin' his A## off. They stayed here for a month or more before moving to Nashville. I was playing the hot spot club in Branson at that time and they were looking for work, so they sat in and played about every night they could but we kept incourging them to go on to Nashville. When they did it didn't take long till Randel went to work with Martina, then Bryan White, and now Brad. I knew when I first heard him he would be with a major artist soon. Really proud to see him and Rod get the gigs they have because they both not only play very well but are both super nice guys. Its an honor to have them as good friends. Esnow

Cool, great story,
