It was very cool to see Robert Randolph do the National Anthem at the opening of the Nascar Race in at Kentucky Speedway on a lap steel!
Hope some of you saw it!

| I really like the rake he did. It seems I don't hear as many players do those at steel shows anyone. They seem to be done more on the C6th neck, are they also used on E9 tuning? |

| Very nice rendition, i'm proud as punch. It's so wonderful this beautiful antique instrument, and Robert's great playing made it into the public eye once again. Literally around the world. Way to go Robert. |

Robert plays a variant of the "Sacred Steel" E7th copedent. That copedent is designed for strummed chords as well as single string soloing. See https://b0b.com/wp/copedents/the-sacred-steel-e7th-tuning/ for technical details.

It's great to see him featured and double nice to see him on a non-pedal steel.

Well I was disappointed. He was introduced emphatically as "the...pedal steel guitarist" but all we got was the melody - not a chord to be heard till the end. When you think of how great a hymn tune sounds on a pedal instrument it seems like an opporunity lost.
Not disrespecting Mr Randolph, or your anthem (which has a way better tune than ours) or Nascar. Just wondering what the average viewer (who maybe does not revere R.R. as much as we do) made of it...

When I first started documenting sacred steel musicians in 1992 I never imagined this!
Another milestone.
Congratulations Robert! |
