I know that Paul Franklin is one of the best and most experienced steel players living. But still I admire his courage to play, as the only musician backing up a singer, in front of millions. Nerves of steel, I guess.

| Great job by both Lee Ann and Paul. As stated, Paul played as a backup and did not overplay and allowed Lee Ann to sing the song. What an honor to be asked to play such a venue and especially play our National Anthem. |

Thanks for the link for a beautiful rendition.
PS... I think Paul's last name is misspelled in the opening credits.... |

Thanks, Richard...
This blows me away every time I hear it.
Any comments on Paul Franklin's incredible sustain? Is it:
Franklin steel
+
Volume pedal technique
+
Reverb
Is there something else in the signal chain helping out?
VERY fine singing and playing, with a whole lot of feeling. |

First and foremost, I would say his hands. Picking and bar pressure can have a profound affect on sustain. The rest of the things you listed help out.

| Bravo! It's too bad they didn't mention Paul, but this is one of the best renditions of the song I've heard. |
