As a steel guitarist, I like to explore all the possibilities of the instrument,
and I'm a big admirer of the early pioneers Joaquin Murphey, Herb Remington,
Maurice Anderson, Curly Chalker, and Jerry Byrd, as well as more recent
trailblazers Lionel Wendling, Mike Neer and Mike Perlowin. Other heroes
include Greg Leisz, Pete Drake, Ben Keith, Bobby Black and so many others.
Here's a few videos of me playing at home, working on songs by everyone from
Bach and Chopin to Coltrane and Zappa.
