The immortal "Sleepwalk" I like Ingano's soft, controlled, and even touch, and always have.
I love my Hawaiian lap steel Brudders

Basics: first electric guitars: Hawaiian
Fender reshaped the design and retuned the sound.

This lady knows how to get it done. Poor sound quality is more than made up for by the outstanding pedal steel guitar work by Sarah. Of course Paul Franklin's solo on "Walk of Life" is another excellent example of the instrument's capabilities.

For what it' worth, I once attended a party in Berkeley where the NewRPS (no Jerry) were in attendance. They didn't play anything.
Probably a (Loading) Zone ordinance.
No steel here, but what the heck.

Saw Lindley at a twilight concert here in SLC a few years back. What a great player he is. I've always been enamoured with the instrument. Jerry, Sneeky Pete, Lindley, whoever I love it. I saw the New Riders play in Gardner Montana in '76 at a rockin', riotous bar show. What a trip that was, literally.

There's a lot of open-tuned lap steel and weissenborn upthread, which is fine, but they lack the pitch-shifting capacity for weirdness that makes the pedal steel so unique. I play dobro and lap steel, so you might think it would be a really easy crossover, but just thinking about all the theory behind playin pedal steel, my head hurts! Too many options, too much math. Love to listen to the masters though.

I don't care for his style but I totally respect his skill...
Bob Brozeman.

I have a box full of cassette tapes of amazing Hawaiian performers from the 30's through the 70's.

Well Jerry Douglas is a dobro player, but yeah, other than that he'd get mentioned for sure!.......

Dipper,
damn man, I just listened to that whole David Crosby album on monday, only my 300,000th time (one of my faves).
But did you know that Crosby did an earlier version of Laughing when he was in the Byrds?

All these folks owe a huge debt to the Hawaiian master Sol Hoopii. Here he is (approx. 1930) on National tricone with one of the hottest rhythm sections ever, 2 ukuleles and string bass:

Can't believe there's no mention of the late, great Ben Keith who through Neil Young introduced many of us to pedal steel in settings outside of country. Such a mellow sound...

This amounts to heresy. The Grateful Dead, playing Dire Wolf, no steel guitar for miles. Maybe it's over in Niles Canyon, who knows.
Maybe they murdered the pedaler.

Of course I know the Dead play it w/o steel, I'm just sayin' I DON'T LIKE IT THATAWAY, Jerry.
It's like having peaches, though, instead of peach cobbler and ice cream.
Lastly, I hate to disabuse you Deadheads of your ideas about the size and menace of dire wolves, but according to the information gathered at La Brea, the legendary dire wolf weighed around one hundred fifty pounds, NOT six hundred pounds, and was a coward when not hunting in packs, or had the wisdom to skadoodle.

Okay, we're drifting into dobro here, but it's ON TOPIC, as the tune is called Siula Grande
