These guys are pretty good. Anyone know who this steel player is? Not sure what kind of steel he's playing - looks like a triple neck.

Toma,
Thank you so much for giving us Jimmie's name. I had tried to find more of their material on youtube but wasn't having any luck until you posted. (Jimmie yielded better results than Jimmy). Here's a live medley with the same steel player (I think).

I ran the Japanese text through Google Translate and it appears that the steel player is Mitsuo Fujii.
