In The Shadows Of My Mind

Video number 2 off of Steven Hicken Jr's production line...

Loved playing this one with my family and it was great to play some "real country"

Hi Steven, A great version of a song done by Vernon Oxford, I had the pleasure of backing him at Wembley and the State Theatre in Kilburn in 1979. Happy days. Great to hear the song again. Regards, Donny Johnston.

It's nice to see that you are maturing in your steel playing, ie good tone, playing fills and not overplaying, blocking is much improved from your earlier days,
Well done

Great video by the Hicken family, well played Steven.

Thanks Richard, means a lot! Great to know my efforts are getting recognized. I've been working really hard, especially on blocking and intonation.
Somebody on my band's Facebook page shot me for overplaying so it's great to know that you don't think so
Hopefully get to play one of your Tom Brumley Mobiles someday.

That's a great story Donny! These lads had just started their stage careers in '79. I'm sure you played great with him and Wembley would have been a "rite" gig.
Hopefully meet you at the North of England thing soon, and also the rest of the guys. Been struggling to get there.

Great video by the Hicken family, well played Steven.

As ever Roy, thanks for the compliments. Always nice to hear from you! Hopefully you come North of the Watford gap someday so we can have a chat.

Also, sorry for the stagnated replies...still in the middle of a house move after months of it going on. Big Ed Hicken kindly stored my Show Pro at his house and fortunately for me he's a left hooker so he can't play Bob Dylan covers on it.
My computer and recording set up is in a garage somewhere so will probably be by the time I get it back.

I'll pass on your compliments to the lads.

Cheers all,

Steven Hicken Jr.
