An instrument we have been fans of since childhood.
So many folks never get beyond the "weeping steels" of classic country (which we like) but the instrument can be so expressive in so many ways. Tom got us interested in Sacred Steel as an example of its versatility.
We much enjoyed this!

HI Guys!
Thanks for the listen and very kind comments. And you're right - most folks who aren't country music fans, or just recently have become one, think of the pedal steel as the "crying, weeping, damn I'm depressed" style. And like you two, I'm just fine with that. But, as you said, there is so much more to the instrument. It can cover so many genres and evoke so many different emotions. If I could afford to buy one - those puppies are mucho expensive - I'd learn to play the thing to the best of my ability. And yes, Tom is a really good player. let's face it - the guy has many musical talents that most folks don't have.
Again, many thanks. Best to you.
Alan
