Love Jerry, Lindley, and all the rest here!
Robert Randolph has brought a whole new level of rock'n'roll to the steel.

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 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
