Recently I was in Nashville again, and on Monday evening I went to Third and Lindsley, a club where The Time Jumpers play regularly. Paul Franklin is the BEST steel guitarist in the world. and I got to sit 3 meters from him as he played. I know there are a few people here who play steel guitar, and thought that this clip might be interesting. Watch him play his break to the old Buck Owens classic, "Together Again" differently than I've ever seen him do it before. Watch the reverse slant and the expression on Andy Reiss's (the guitar player's) face... (This is a large file to download, almost 200 MB) www.yousendit.com/download/UVJneFlUQzdubHhYd3NUQw |

Thanks Larry! Big file, but definitely worth the wait. Paul Franklin is a fantastic player, and I agree I haven't seen those slants earlier. I envy you to have a chance to watch this close and I hope I will some day! Are you a member of the swedish pedal steel forum? I think the guys there would appreciate your post. steelgitarr.forum24.se/ |

I am not a member of any other Swedish fora save for this one... I found out about this one through forum member Erik (bluesified) I got to know a few fellows here in person, including Olav, whose guitars I admire! (and own one of them.) I've travelled in Scandinavia, and (mostly because of this forum) learned to read and understand Swedish. But everyone here is very kind to me and they don't complain too loudly when I post in English, but my written Swedish is halting, at best. So I feel no need to join other fora and subject more readers to my bad Swedish....  However, feel free to copy the link and post it there if you wish. Here's another clip shot the same evening that features the entire band at top speed. Paul is on the C6 neck this time. www.yousendit.com/download/UVJneFlkRkVsamZFdzhUQw |

OK, I have fixed and re-posted the link, and it works for me.... Perhaps you can do the same for the other steelers...?
My apologies.

That was awesome. Just realized that he is the guy playing on Dire Strait's Fade to Black, my absolute favourite steel guitar solo.
