I want to take a moment and send a big "thank you" to the steel guitar community in Sweden for their extraordinary hospitality this month. I had the good fortune to work in Stockholm for three weeks producing a band for Sony Sweden called Abalone Dots. I wanted to play on a few of the songs during tracking but didn't necessarily want to haul a double-neck all the way across the Atlantic and back. Through the Steel Guitar Forum I contacted Swedish steel guitarist Per Berner. Per lives in Skövde, Sweden, about 200 miles from Stockholm, but he immediately posted a message on my behalf on the Sweden Steel Guitar Forum http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsteelgitarr.forum24.se%2F and within hours I had several pedal steels and even a Rickenbacher lap steel offered to me.
I was humbled by the community's willingness to help a stranger visiting from far away. I especially want to thank Mikael Karlström, who let me use his beautiful Carter D10 for an entire week of tracking, along with Johan Lindstrom, who loaned me a Rickenbacher Bakelite lap steel. Mikael's pedal steel was first rate in every way and his steel is featured on several tracks on the album.
I also want to thank Janne Lindgren and Daniel Wigstrand who offered pedal steels in Stockholm.
Thank you everyone in Sweden for extending your steel guitar hospitality to me.

| I'm glad we were able to help out, Steve. Judging from Mikael's reports from the studio it will be an album to look forward to! |
