My Dad, Carter Steel and memories

Post by Ron Hogan »

In my 45 years of playing steel, I've only owned one steel at a time and a ZUM now since 1995. In the past month I bought a used Carter D10 and really liking it, so now I have two. I spent the last three weeks rearranging the 8 knee levers to fit my liking, but in that time, my Dad passed (He got me into steel many years ago). It inspired me to write a melody for him as I miss him. This is recorded on my iPhone, so just know it could be better quality. But the Carter is doing a good job with it's E66 pickup.
