Wow! Chris has a fine touch. Love the Kayton Roberts style, but Chris has made it his own, too.

That was the thing to do in Nashville, from late '40s till '63 when the Grand Ole Opry lifted the ban on drums. Ernie Newton(who is credited for inventing the style in the '40s) played with everyone from Johnny & Jack to Bill Monroe, and Lightnin Chance was the house bass/snare brush player on the Grand Ole Opry and he played on records, and live, with everyone in country like Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, and many many others.

man, that was smooth!
besides the performance - its nice to see a steel based trio (doing instrumentals) in what looks like a downtown cosmo hipster bar and the crowd loves it.
of course, Chris is at the top of his game, i was one of those that wished he would concentrate more on steel, i know he has his irons in many musical fires, he's great on everything - but boy - i bet he could do for non-pedal steel what his grandfather did for 5-string banjo.

Chris is always amazing. I have had the chance to see him live in Nashville several times and he never seems to lose his edge. Great player and performer.

| I love the trio format with the archtop rhythm and bass. Amazing technique, Chris! I'd love a whole album of instrumentals like this. |

Very good!
Saw CS here (Scotland) a couple of times, with his mother, in a couple of little places in a village called Kinross.
Good gigs, at which he played only steel, all night, so lots of fun techniques etc on display at the gigs. |
