Before I lose the rest of my mind,can someone clarify whether or not there are more than one Junior Knight Steel Players here on the forum? I just recieved a CD today from Juneau Ak and it is a good one. Will be running on "emmons84" in an hour.
Someone mentioned that Junior is from Texas..help? Bill in Vegas

There is only one Junior Knight on the Forum that I know of. He is from Texas, and he definitely "is a good one"! Image What's the name of the CD?

Thanks David, This ole mind cant take many more of these..why i might just start cutting the strings of my steel with side cutters and the volume pedal wide open on stage. Hmm,I think i have already done that before sometime after too much tequilla.
Anyway,Thanks for clearing up the sky...Bill in Vegas

John is my teacher and a huge inspiration to me. He's the only pedal steel player in town and I would really be lost without him. I was fortunate enough to spend some quality garage time with him last winter when those old Taku winds were howling outside. He plays some great stuff and I believe his Dad, Lee Knight, had a big influence on him. Check out his CD. I think you'll like it.
