A friend of mine who doesn't play steel, was telling me about a player he heard in Woodland, CA in the mid 70's, who was totally awesome, but doesn't remember his name, only the band name. Anyone know who this might be? -- Marc

Chris Ivey - Didn't you do a stint with them around then? I know there was another steel player too (who also played guitar) but I can't seem to get the name past the tip of my tongue just yet...

Nice to see Chris Iveyâ€™s face pop up. I miss him. As for Ray, I lost track of him years (decades?) ago. Iâ€™d sure love to know what heâ€™s been up to. Heâ€™s a brilliant guy.
