I too am a steel lover. It is one of the few non-rock-band instruments I did not decide was cornball when I was a teenager. I love Hawaiian, I love country pedal steel too, the stuff Lyle Lovett does is my favourite modern country steel. I love Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Leon McAuliffe. Take it away, Leon! I am one of the guys who is thinking about taking up Hawaiian steel. I am a percussionist, so this is going to be a BIG leap for me - maybe I should take up vibraharp instead! Respect due to Bong and all steel players, for bringing us that sweet haunting sound. aloha, em.
