Congrats Doug, well deserved! Your "Ghost Riders" cover might be the most visible PSG vid on the internet.

Awesome news, Doug! You serve as such a terrific ambassador for the instrument and have influenced many, many people - including me!
You may perhaps be the most heard steeler alive today?

You've at least gotta be in the top three, Doug.
Maybe in a race with Gary Brandin for his work on SpongeBob?
I don't know which Gold or Platinum records by living artists might have steel on them but I'm sure somebody here knows.

Look what landed on my porch today. Youtube "silver play button" award/plaque for reaching 100,000 subscribers on my steel guitar channel. 
It's very gratifying to know that so many people worldwide are seeing and hearing a steel guitar, many for the first time. 40 million views total. Many thanks to all the viewers!

A great honor, Doug. You are very deserving.
Your friend,

Thanks Jeff and Mike! Yes, I play mostly covers of 50s and 60s instrumental hits, and people aren't used to seeing and hearing those tunes played on a steel guitar. It fascinates a lot of people, the visual and the audio. I can tell by the comments that the vast majority of the listeners are not steel players, and probably not musicians at all. They just like what they hear and see, and that works for me.
