This person was mentioned in Bobbe's Newsletter recently. He is from the tiny country of Switzerland
but steel players there have never heard of him.
Inquiring minds would like to know.

His story is indeed encouraging. I've toured in different parts of Switzerland and in Italy, and no one has ever mentioned this person (I would remember the name). I would love to hear his music.
I'm glad that he's playing classical music on the pedal steel. However, as anyone who has spent time among classical music knows, this isn't something that you just decide to pick up midlife because you've always liked the music. There is so much subtle virtuosity required, that it is difficult to play it professionally unless one has started from an early age and put in the thousands of hours of practice.
Sounds like there is more to this story.
