Here are some of mine:
Steelteacher that got most of us starting on pedal-steel:
Jeff Newman
Most innovative steelteacher:

Master of nashville-tone: Lloyd Green
Master of belly-growl  : Buddy Emmons
Master of innovative playing: Paul Franklin
Most innovative pedalsteelguitar MSA Millenium

Please guys: add nice subjects!
Bob, as soon as this turns into a negative crap-dump, please close the thread. Thanks, Johan www.steeljj.com

Some more suggested categories -
Best dobro player:
Best non-pedal steel (current):
Best non-pedal steel (ever):
(although Paul Newman says, regarding the Oscars, in an article in Time magazine, how can you make an artistic occupation into a competition? That's why he likes motor racing. "Your bumper is here. That guy's bumper is there. You win.")
I still applaud your try at a positive approach, Johan

Hi Nick,
please, understand me, I HATE COMPETITIONS!
but I think it's good and respectfull to now and then get a steeler or organization on the pedestal, for a certain time, let's say a year. It can pay respect to them, and means to say thanks for contributions to the steelguitarworld. It would be unhealthy if this grows into a competition, you can't judge music and performancers on taste, you can't measure
thanks,
Johan |

Johan, I don't know about your choice for belly-growl. You have never heard my belly growl. Can wake my wife up from a sound sleep.

I've never heard a steel player I didn't like....but if we could only keep one of em it would be Mr E. Because he has all that stuff and from what it sounds like from the folks who heard him in Texas...he ain't done yet.

Carlene Roller suggests that there should be an award for the "simplest player". She would not elaborate.

| An award for the steel with the most ROAD miles would be interesting. [This message was edited by Billy Johnson on 26 July 2002 at 02:18 PM.] [This message was edited by Billy Johnson on 26 July 2002 at 02:18 PM.] |
