Hey Y’all, Happy Easter! Today I’m covering the famous song “Fernando†originally performed by the Swedish 1970s powerhouse, ABBA! I’d like to dedicate this song to all the steel guitarists out there that have fought against the oppression of pedal steel guitar that has taken place in recent years. Of course, I’d like to dedicate this cover song to the ABBA fans too! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks all, glad you like it!
Yeah Dale, I was using tubes in the video. My dad's Peavey has broken down again...then again it is from the early 90s.
Glad you've noticed Curt, I'm definitely working hard.
I'm going to be playing country next time out. Real Country, but I like to throw in the odd pop and rock tune to promote steel to a bigger audience. ABBA are a well sought after act even today. The ABBA fans on their Reddit forum loved it. Also, I was recently featured on a British indie band's song which was about the lockdown, which was nice. Country is where my heart is though and it always will be.
