Shame on me for not remembering Arthur Soles, and his half-brother René (their mother had an illicit liason with a man selling onions off a bicycle, but that's a story for another time), from Muckle-In-The-Midden, Herefordshire, UK 
They were the original pioneers of pedal steel guitar manufacture, years before their time
With the influence of French blood coursing through his veins, René somehow converted the gearbox from a Citroen 2CV into a pedal steel changer mechanism, and Arthur, because he worked on an cider apple farm, and therefore was deemed to have an incisive knowledge of all thing arboreal, had plenty of wood to make the rest of the steel.
The rest, as they say, is history..... |

Current players list could be endless but I am trying to do more of a ‘historic household names’ list to kick off with so the start of this list is more significant.
This was a 'top of the head recall'
Please don't be offended if I have missed you, my small brain! I know!!! I'm doing my best but I forget then say .. goodness! how could I have missed him/her!
Regards and thank you ....Bob
ps. I'll tackle our side of the pond when this is sorted! |
Mmmmmm "‘Famous Steelies!’ ‘historic household names’ |

A good suggestion might be to simply go to the "Steel Guitar Hall of Fame" for starters.
Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame
Then for all the work you'll want to do in a lifetime, you can use this next site to fill up a mulitude of folks.
Steel Guitar Organizations
Hope that helps |

Unless I missed it, Hank DeVito is missing.
I'd add Gerry Hogan. And J.B. Crabtree. Doug Beck.
And...I HAD to have missed it -
NO ONE mentioned Chuck Campbell??

I know Joe Savage, Les Swanson, Curt Olson, Al Udeen (sp?) and Jerry Dube received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Minnesota Rock/Country Hall of Fame. And well deserved too!
There could be others, but I don't know for certain.
