I stumbled across this one today and I wanted to share it of course I'm sure a lot of ya have already seen it. This really shows that the non-pedal steel can produce pure magic music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXEP5DFD ... re=related

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
Touch and tone and melody. Where has all that gone.
Top drawer, first rate , of the first water.
Does that that make you stop, relax and listen, or what ?.
Subtle use of the volume pedal too !
Magic.
Barry

Great song by a great group. Jerry was a one-of-a-kind in all aspects.
I miss my March 9th birthday call to him and the visits. Great guy, very modest and hmble. He did cuss a little, though..................funny individual.

Sand is one of my favorite Hawaiian tunes, played by my favorite player.

I have a letter Jerry sent to me (on blue stationary) framed and hanging on my music room wall.

I agree with Bobby and all you other Jery Byrd Fans; there is no greater man. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here conversing about how great our Instrument is. Thanks to Mr. Jerry Byrd.Thanks for sharing this POST with us.. Bernie

And stop all that BS about your playing, Keoki. There ain't a soul around that wouldn't like to sound like you do on your worst day!
