This is what the public REALLY likes!
This proves a steel player can play good "island" music anywhere.
Wait a second, England IS an island! Don't know about the palm trees though,
Good job Big "B"! Excellent tone coming out of a Fender!

Great solo! Basil, do you have any copies of your brain downloaded onto CD-ROM?

Bobbe, you just did a Clint on me and 'Made my Day' !!
The nickname big 'B' may just stick, last week Pat was talking on the 'phone to John Marsden and she inadvertently referred to me as "BARREL" a Freudian Slip that had them both helpless with laughter. The name 'Barrel' is NOW in common usage throughout the Hawaiianna community here in Europe.
So, the Big "B" may just be appropriate albeit for all the wrong reasons.
I feel that the designation is a little to prone to misinterpretation, especially when used to refer to parent's MARITAL Status !!
Notwithstanding that, and setting the prior remark completely asside, I feel you deserve the accolade Big "B".
As for England being an Island, there are those amongst us who consider it an "Enemy Nation" ...

Basil Henriques...all foreign email is scanned and classified. "Friendly Nation" which is a country I visit, know people in, and/or trade with. I get those emails. All other countries are "Enemy Nation" and go directly to the "Trash" folder where they are also instantly deleted. You can send me emails every five minutes for the rest of your life and I will never get them unless you relocate to a "Friendly Nation". Sorry.
I'd like to thank MLA for that rejection, It spurred me on to obtain my new Fender PS-210
All I need now is some drawings for the addition of an RKL and RKR.

Basil-I just downloaded your video. Well, I am with Bobbe on this.
Great tone on that fender, and you put a lot of action in that solo. I know people like that.
I used to play "Little Brown Gal" in 1937 on my 6 string Supro every night I played . I liked Hawaiian Music and it was popular then. You really swing on the chorus. A few good old Slant bar stuff there too. Good Show...al

I wonder if the GFI knee lever kits would fit.
Maybe Gene Fields can help here?

Great Video Baz. You constantly amaze me with your dexterity on the steel. Hey, I'm sure there are palm trees way down on the southern tip of England ? Right ?

That was very enjoyable, Baz! The beginning of your solo was very jazzy, it reminded me of Jules Ah See's style. Keep on posting!
