This is how comrades in steel guitar speak of each other. Ted Nesbit is a very accomplishment player himself paying a wonderful compliment to another magnificent player. This is a real part of what makes the steel guitar community so special.

Well done Ted and well done Richard on another album to your credit!!

I have to agree! I hadn't heard Richard before -- not only is he a superb steel player, but this is a terrific album for any straight-ahead jazz fan to a enjoy.

For anyone looking for it, the album is titled "Song For My Father" and is available via online streaming services as well as iTunes.

Thanks Gerry and Kevin. I gave one to Bob Brolly from BBC radio Coventry. Be interesting to see if he plays it.
