We get the RFD channel here, which means we get Porter Wagoner re-runs.
The steel man plays a stand-up steel like a console, but it appears to have a couple of pedals, and looks like a Sho-Bud. He gets great licks with the simple set-up, and the tone is incredible.
Anybody know the make of that steel, and the tuning? It sounds like the two pedals do the same pulls as pedals 1 and 2.
Thanks for any info you may have. |

That was Don Warden, who went on to become Dolly's manager, and I think that Sho~Bud was one of the first ever made. He's been discussed here before, and you can dig up some threads if you search.

His name seems to get misspelled often -- you see both Warden and Worden.
I would assume they got it right on his HOF Plaque
