Steel on the Outside

Mon Apr 15, 2024 4:34 pm

Hi All

This is the absolute best steel playing I can manage at the moment. Maybe I'll get better, but for now, this is my best.

Some of you (not many) will appreciate what I've managed to do.

Gary you're still listening to the voices and doing what they tell you to do that first track got very intense round about 4.50 and I was waiting for the bullet

There are no bullets John, only voices.

Thanks for getting to 4:50 though, you're clearly fearless.

As ever - a big thumbs up for your continuous pioneering style of playing and your compositions. I always find your stuff so interesting buddy.

Keep 'em coming.

Thanks Ken!! Appreciate your support as always. One nice thing that has come out of the release of this album is a collaboration with the French steel player Lional Wendling (you may have heard of him), also involved are LUcky Oceans and Susan Alcorn, so I'm in pretty elevated company...or should I say they are (Ha!).

Well IMHO Gary, Lionel Wendling is in the top 3 players in Europe. I remember Lucky Oceans back in the 70's - I saw him with Asleep at The Wheel, and he was a good western swing player. Susan Alcorn has come in for some criticism in recent years for her unusual musical direction. I think she's a very good pick blocker, and her choice of notes is also highly unusual.

Inspirational Gary. Don't have time to listen to it all, think I'd need a few lifetimes to listen to all your output! Listened to a random selection, atm Ever Outwards. It's very relaxing and quite trippy.

You have a lot of talent my friend and it's good that you are getting some deserved recognition, you've certainly worked hard to get to where you are.

Thanks Geoff. Yes, a fun track Ever Outwards. BTW: I'm slowing down now...less is more as they say.
