Nice photo's and nice reminiscences Ken. 1970 I was touring round Iceland with a couple of little Scandinavian girls, no pedal steel but I did take off Elvis in a kilt and they wouldn't let me off the stage.
A great time and a misspent 'youth'.
Roland amps, Telecaster, Tyros 4 and several self built steels.

Terrific story Ron. Must have been cold in the nether regions wearing that kilt. :lol:

Here is another pic of me playing my pride and joy of that time - my blue D10 ZB.
