| Lloyd and JayDee on Byrds' "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and some Russ Hicks on Ween's "12 Golden Country Greats". Some fine steelin' on some less than traditional albums!

Haven't forgotten my bar, but, I've certainly lost my slide for my six string. I could have sworn it was on my amp, but, a half full pint glass did just fine for one solo
