That is mighty fine! Does make me realise what a hindrance having a job is when it comes to learning an instrument though

. All that time at work could be better used practising...

Really!!! What did Jimmy Day say about this type of playing? " I wish I learn to play like that so I can remember never to do it again" very cleaver and flashy but imo not that pleasant to listen to and nobody would want it on there record.

I have to disagree with you Alan, I think for a Hell for Leather number like Alabama Jubilee that is exactly the treatment required (if only we were capable of giving it!) I am sure TT could go the other extreme in slow and tasteful.......

He didn't blink once during that
Obviously an alien.
My fave version of this tune is Buck Reid's.

Gosh! I bet there was enough steam coming of of him after that to peel wallpaper!!!
Reminds me of Albert Lee, and his ‘waiting for a derailment’ super-fast technique.
Seen Albert many times, and he’s never come off yet!
Never heard of this guy before, is he always that good?
I might turn my picks into earrings...
Off for a calming cuppa...
Stan.

I have to say I often find the lighting-speed-picking of any stringed instrument a bit boring, but I found the steel playing on this tune to be a nice balance of showy technique and musically pleasing sounds. It's as if Brent Mason were playing the steel
