I love the steel guitar it was as the signature instrument of country music for decades. In my opinion country music lost it's soul when it moved away from the steel guitar. When country music is played on a steel you hear the soul of the song crying out.
Oh, to be able to slow dance with my sweetie again..but he's been gone 23 yrs..thank you David for bringing back those memories, even if they sometimes hurt. Love you and what you do.
I’m so sorry for your loss. For me, hearing someone play a pedal steel guitar brings back memories of my dad playing his pedal steel guitar back in the late 70s. He could hear a song once and play along with the entire song. It was the most beautiful thing watching and hearing him play. My daddy’s been gone 21 years now, and these songs bring back the memories.
Henry Pulley; I'm with you 110% Sir. There's nothing like a fiddle and a steel guitar to make a good country song great. I ❤ me some good ol' steel guitar playing in any song but, especially country music. Thanks for sharing this video. Stan
there is something about a crying steel guitar at the hands of a master that no other instrument can duplicate.simply beautiful!!----harold -from ontario canada
Beautiful. Dont ever take for granted your talent. 6 years ago, My brother a very well known musician that played a steel, electric guitar, bass, hominica, passed away of lue gharigs desease,. he's in Heaven now, but oh what I would give to hear him once again. But on the other hand where he is now, I would not bring him back to this awful world it has become.. Enjoy your gift God gave you while you have it. Always thank God for it. Im Thankful & blessed everyday for the talent I have as well. I play Organ, Piano, bass, accordian. Im #4 musician out of 18 in my family that all play by ear & we all play in church.
One of the most evocative pieces from the pedal-steel guitar, that I have heard…. So sensitively played…. No lyrics required!.. the sound says it all. It brings tears to my eyes every time… they’re flowing as I write. Thanks for this gem from your repertoire, David.. I love it.
@@janicemullins4686 True we are just living. I was remembering the memories of my wife & me while I could not see or be with her since March 13, 2020 and our 49th anniversary was May 22, 2020. I got to see and be with her again on Nov 6, 2020 and she didn't seem to recognize me but on Nov 13, 2020 she did recognize me and for that I am very happy.
That is one gorgeous looking and sounding Sho-Bud, and you really breathe life into it! Keep up the fabulous work, Dave. This is what real music is all about.
I can listen to hours of this, with great enjoyment, but only get into a minute of "new country" songs, ANY of them, and shut them OFF. Can't stand today's garbage. Thank you, the steel playing artists of the world!
I certainly agree with everyone's comment about the steel just belongs in TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC. No two ways about it. Thanks for uploading beautiful sounding Country Music.
K I totally agree the country music today is really lacking Country needs a steel, country style piano and fiddle. All three or at least one of three listed instruments.
Supposedly the young-uns didn't like the twang which is why we don't hear it much anymore. But I'm with you and wish the Good Lord had blessed me with the talent to play it as well. Guess when the two of us get to Heaven we can ask ol' St. Pete for pedal steels instead of harps.
David, my good friend, if I wasn't absolutely addicted to your steel picken' before, your rendition of this song has removed any doubts there might have been. David, you bring so much joy to so many ears. So much of the "Music" we hear today just leaves our ears bleeding. We owe you so much more than we will ever be able to pay you. You are such a generous man to share your sweet music with us. I believe I speak for everyone when I say thank you so much. Your Number One Fan, Sacramento Chuck
I literally ADORE this wonderful music 😊 ... I would listen to it for hours and hours and hours and never get tired ... All my deepest respect and my sincere congratulations, dear Friend, you really play the way only an Angel would ...
I have played this over and over and it never gets old. Simply fantastic. If you don't like old steel guitar music then you ain't country, simple as that! Go get in your pickup with your designer jeans on and your 6 pack of Busch light and just shut up and keep on driving till you find some more yuppies who don't know country from the hole in their asses then go find a place to do what yall do and leave us country folks to the real country music. But sadly that's where we are 2day.
One of the prettiest steel tunes I’ve ever heard.His “touch” has so much to do with that Wonderful tone. Thanks for recording this and sharing it with the world.
I love that song. Love listening to Dave Hartley. I loved to listen to the pedal steel since I was a kid. Little did I know that our son would play a steel one day. He's good too. Another son is learning.
Davey my friend, I just can not get enough of this song. You most definitely hit it out of the park with this song. You truly are a master musician. It just don't get no better than a well played "crying steel guitar." That is when they sound their best. Your Cyber-Buddy, and biggest fan, Sacramento Chuck
SO BEAUTIFUL ..MY WIFE'S UNCLE, FRIKKIE CRONJE, ALSO WAS A GREAT HAWAIN GHITAAR PLAYER AND WAS FAMOUS AROUND THE WORLD. HE PASSED AWAY QUIT A LONG TIME AGO BUT I STILL CAN HEAR HISRE .CORDINGS. YOU ARE BLESSED MY FRIEND AND KEEP ON PLAYING.
As Ive stated before I’m awestruck at how well you know your way around a steel guitar! Something we haven’t seen in 30 years but your honestly one of the best I’ve ever heard never give up this passion of yours
Two years ago my wife died of brain tumors and one of our favorite songs is Sweet Memories. I clicked on it in UA-cam knowing how it would affect me. I got a box of tissues and made it thru it. Thank you David for recording this song. To Westland Adventures: I'm sure your Mom would understand it takes many years to play steel like David.
Oh my ever time I hear your beautiful music,I swear it touches my heart,your gentle about you,touches souls everywhere!!How magnificent you truly are Dave!!I thank you so many times in my listening!Please keep the wonderful work up you do!! WOW!!!!!
This is awesome!!! I wanna build one.... I love the sound... I can't think of the words to express... I takes me away.... Nice playing!!!! Huge like!!!!👍
I wonder what Dave Hartley is doing these days?.. I haven't seen any current videos. The Steel Guitar used to define Country Music. It is what set it apart. What a great thing we can come to UA-cam and enjoy it now. I can listen to Dave's steel guitar for hours.
Sweetest my choice most of the time I listen to steel guitar music which is mostly daily. My steel guitar-playing husband passed away this year and I sure miss them both. Just gorgeous
yes sir, thats some buckle polishing music right there, used to hit the VFW on Friday nights and dance the night away was a blast. Sure miss those days.
Cerre mis ojos para escuchar esta hermosa melodia que calma el corazon..... a los pocos segundos ya me estaban corriendo lagrimas. Que don tan maravilloso. Dios lo bendiga.
Wow! Note for note just like the song is written without breaking time at all, and never eliminating one note...The phrasing is perfect!..Just amaising.
Děkuji moc za okouzlující písně! Moc se mi líbily! Mám moc ráda muziku! Musím Vás opustiti na nějaká čas! Mějte se SUPER!👌👍👋🤵🏻🎸posílám Vám kytaru neboť ten Váš nástroj tak skoro vypadal akorát že leží! ♥️🤔🤗🙋

@@Avacarho I too feel loss of my Dad too, he was good at playing n love singing.

When they took the steel out of Country music, they turned it into pop, heres proof. l could listen to this 24 - 7. Thanks...
Henry Pulley; I'm with you 110% Sir. There's nothing like a fiddle and a steel guitar to make a good country song great.

Here in Sri Lanka the talented players of this great instrument may be a handful. Hope this greatness will prevail here too as in your country
The best player was Patrick Denipitiya. A student of maestro Sunil Santha.
He's world class,thats why we want to keep him here.Dave can play anything.makes the Ole steel guitar cry and brings tears to your eyes,pure magic...
I'm no idiot but I don't have the vocabulary to descibe the feeling I just got from that...thank you is about all I can say
Thought maybe you would like to hear this again.... All the best, God Bless 🙏
There is something indescribably beautiful and sad at the same time about a crying steel guitar. This is absolutely subliminal and heavenly.
Thought maybe you would like to hear this again… All the best, God Bless 🙏
Love this song
Yes it is jesse
Absolutely agreed. It's the perfect medium that transfers tranquil and peaceful emotions from player to listener.
Just beautiful thanks for sharing this amazing music...
Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!💕👏👍👏👍✝️✝️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️🇱🇷💓

Almost brings a tear to the eye. So haunting yet so beautiful
There is NOTHING like Sweet Memories on a peddle steel - and NEVER will be!!😭🥲😹
It really starts to get good at 00:01
Amen, and stays good - - No Great! Right?
You said it bro
LMHineyOff!!!
Yea but after 5:24 it sucks
Absolutely perfect!
It amazes me, how many folk ave no idea what a Steel guitar is!
Thank you, for sharing this!
my hats off to all steel guitar players who have a special talent & feeling for the instrument, they bring music alive in a special way
As I listen to this June 3, 2020 I am crying from so many memories. This is not the first time I have heard this song or him playing.
Roy Reynolds Why do memories hurt so much? When we live them we are just living.

We celebrated our 50th anniversary on May 22, 2021, and I lost her on July 8, 2021. She is in heaven and I will get to see her again.
That is one gorgeous looking and sounding Sho-Bud, and you really breathe life into it!
Keep up the fabulous work, Dave. This is what real music is all about.
I never get tired of listening to this! Simply incredible sound, song and incredibly played.
Yes,Anyone that ever hears this will be back many many times over.Perfectly Played.
Reminds me of someone

"Murder was committed on music row" when they took the steel guitar out! Love this stuff, Dave! You are amazing!

I can listen to this for hours,beautiful, why dont country musicians use steel nay more? I wish the good Lord had given me this ability
