Man, I'm soooo glad you put this on here! After playing guitar for years, my dad cut the tip of one of his left fingers off, so he switched to a steel. I spent most my childhood with a pedal steel in my living room. I love that instrument! I first met Paul Franklin when I was 18. He was in his 20's and already playing for Mel Tillis. My dad now lives near Nashville and occasionally goes to recording sessions. About 6 months ago I got a call from my dad - I thought. It turned out Dad was at a session again and he had Paul give me a call from my dad's phone! I've met him and his folks a few times through the years, but he wouldn't remember me. Still we had quite a laugh and joked on the phone with each other for quite a while. In addition to being an ace on the steel, he's also just a real nice guy.
I'm looking forward to hearing more of your steel songs. I love to hear Tom play steel, but had no idea about Ronnie's background. I won't mention it here, because I don't know if I'm supposed to know, but I've learned that another one of the highly respected pedal steel guitar players in Nashville has done some tracks for PG Music, so I'm hoping we'll have yet another great one to pull from in the near future! Can't wait to hear what you'll do with that!!

Thanks for the mention, actually during the 60s, Gene was still working for Fender, and he said Leo Fender sent him to machinists school to learn the craft of making steel guitars. He founded GFI in the 70s, and was actually inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame.
For a long time, Vince Gill used John Hughey as his steel player who made the famous break on "Look At Us". After he passed away, Vince asked Paul Franklin to take his place and he has done a marvelous job!!
