The British Steelies Society

Daryle, Jimmy and Mr & Mrs Johnston................. for me this is accapella perfection!



Can't believe the big guy is gone! He was such a gift to a steel player!

Braw

Mike Johnson really leans on that bar

Great post Bob

We will all miss the big guy Bob not many out there that can reach those really low notes with such clarity and Mike's superb solo I must have listened to a hundred times and still cannot get the phrasing right (and possibly a few of the notes) ?? how many of you guys get the chance to play it in the bands you are in ?We do it at Bulkington maybe once in 6 months as they are constantly changing the program and it is not often enough to get the wrinkles out a solo like that and to do anything else in those few bars sounds a bit lame after listening to Mike.
If anyone is interested, I would gladly record and post my take on Mike's solo for criticism, piss-taking or compliments and corrections from any that know better.

Absolutely beautiful.
