Heard today's segment on NPR on sacred steel guitar. Great stuff! If you missed it, there is a bit of it on www.npr.org (search for sacred steel) but not much playing there.
Bob Stone - kudos and congrats and thanks to all of the sacred steelers for their fine work. I also have a suggestion for you - create a website called www.sacredsteel.com (there isn't one, I checked) and put up pics, info, soundclips,sell CDs etc. It's a fascinating genre and I'm sure lots of folks would like to hear more about it.
Best regards
-Bill

Thanks, Bill. Besides being a great musician, Chuck Campbell is one of the best at articulating the interesting points of this tradition.
I plan on doing the web site--just a matter of finding the time. Seems like I stay swamped.
The new CD, which will feature live music from the SS Convention, should feature at least three steelers previously unrecorded. It is slated for fall release.
Thanks again.

| Yes, this was very powerful stuff. My radio alarm came on just as the segment started, no trouble getting out of bed today! |
