Like horn sections and string sections - I think there should be pedal steel sections. On this clip and on their recordings - Crawford and Hicks show how good this can sound. Imagine this sound on a commercial record in any style of music with even more than two steels playing written arrangements in harmony.

| Ah yeah, Crawford and Hicks, always one of my most favorite sets at the ISGC. Top of my list. Great stuff. |

Great clip Bill many thanks. Nice to see Gerry Hogan on guitar to Jimmy's right. Gerry always plays a D-10 JCH steel. Those that aren't aware, they were made by Jimmie Crawford and John Hughey.

Well spotted, Micky - maybe Bill could insert a credit for Gerry H.
I do enjoy the sound of the individual vibratos creating that chorus effect. I remember both these guys knocking me out a few years later, that time with the amazing Buck Reid on the third steel.

Roger, I'd recognise that "bonce" anywhere! Who am I to say that?  Gerry has been on other clips of Hicks and Crawford...one was Highway 40 Blues where he sat to the left of Russ Hicks

| Great clip. Jimmie was a master at moving note voices within chords. |

Thank you Bill for posting this. I'll admit that I get a little misty eyed watching it. Jimmie was such an innovator... sure do miss him.

Gerry's scoutmaster shorts aside , the thing I always get from watching Jimmy is that he is having a bundle of fun playing. My friend Ron Mawn got to hang out with Jimmy and his wife, and Jimmy would always ask Ron if he knew any runs against minor chords, because he loved minor runs and scales.
As Buck has said he was a real innovator, both as a player and as a designer. Those banjo runs of his were killer.
