I've been reminiscing abit lately ... listening to some songs that I enjoyed in my "youth" ...

Seems like alot of 'em contained steel guitar ... of which I knew nothing about back then ...

Case in point ...

That song always got to me ... Crying or Very sad Oh Well Mr. Green

And I'm sayin' ... by the looks of them guys (eye patch, hair, beard) ...

I could fit right in ... right now Laughing Laughing Laughing

I have been going to concerts for fifty years or more and the best live act I have ever seen was the Doctor Hook boys at the height of their powers. Whilst the rest of the gang took a break Denis Locorriere stayed on stage and sang that song solo. A memorable evening and it is a pity the band did not last.

What about "Who's gonna wash my pants" better known as "If not you". More steel in that one.

James.

ive also noticed this phenomenon, I have only been playing a few months but now when I listen to a lot of the music I have been listening to for the past 20 years or so appears to contain steel guitar. Its funny how I never really noticed it before but a lot of the time its the steel that makes these records great and if it wasnt there I would have probably thought ...Theres something missing here

I totally forgot about that song. Brings back memories and I also find that songs I listened to in the past contain steel that I never paid attention to but actually made the tune. Thanks for sharing.

I think Rick is on to something. I too have noticed that steel is in many of my old pre-steel aware favorites.
