That's one hell of a band to play with. Talk about keeping me on my toes.

There's a bit of a tradition of pedal steel in bluegrass. There's even a Capitol
recording of Rose Maddox singing Footprints In The Snow with Bill Monroe on
mandolin and Wayne Gayley on pedal steel. But that's a discussion for another
forum.

You're ever so welcome. I'm happy to be up there playing.
So, John, tell us if you found any reso players on your recent trip to Ireland!
