Mike johnson is excellent on that steel guitar ,one of my favorites of all time

[@krautyvonlederhosen]

A pedal steel played well, never fails to bring a tear to my eyes. The emotions put into the guitar reaps rewards beyond expectations. Thanks Mike for the tutorial. My Blanton grew legs and ran away like many of my other treasured instruments, never replaced but missed just the same. You know who you are and I cannot find it in my heart to forgive.
