Who Would Be Your Desert Island Steel Player......and why?

[RonMc]

Dave Hartley, I think he is as good as anything stateside and better than a lot. and when he and John Stannard were together, they were brilliant.

Mine would have to be John Hughey and Mike Johnson, my joint favourites, both fantastic players and after having met them both at Dallas Show Quite a few times, I can honestly say both are the friendliest most modest guys you could ever meet.

Think about what you are saying?? desert Island no electric no steel guitar .... just more blokes for company..... have you all gone over to the dark side???

[Dave Nutt]

It’s an easy on for me - UKs mystery man. Pete Heywood.

C'mon John, there's solar panels atop the coconut trees, supplying plenty enough power for Jerry Byrd's amp, and for the cooler, where the two grass skirted babes get my beer from.
Get with the program.

My choice would be John Hughey I met him on two occasions in the USA. One occasion was at a BBQ in Atlanta at an informal steel guitar meeting also attended by several other well known steel players. I was so taken by his humility he left a big impression on me, such a quite and gentle man and a truly outstanding player.

Thought I could drop another tremendous Hawaiian player in this old thread - Jeff Au Hoy. If you haven't heard him before here's a clip worth a listen. Spot on intonation and effortless harmonics.

Excellent heads up! Thanks for that, Tony. Most enjoyable, really great playing.

[Donny Johnston]

Swine, he's good looking as well.
