[MissScarlett122]

utmarkman you are so right ,it's not a contest, Donna and Buddy are so far out front that it's like you said,NO CONTEST! krj, Massey Hill, N.C.

[MissScarlett122]

I've heard Lloyd Green,Sarah Jory and the rest ,But take Buddy Emmons and Donna and you have "CLASS", and you hear good steel pickers but you won't here any better than these two. J.J.Fay.N.C.

[krmsr59]

Hey Bill!

Did Donna play steel with Wild Rose?

I did a show with them a long time ago and she looks like the steel player for them. We all got on stage and jammed for a while outside at a rodeo in S.C.

Does she still play?

Good picker!!

Thanks!

km

[Steelpicker]

Yes she did

[krmsr59]

Is she on the forum or do you have a way to email her?

I would like to see if she remembers pickin with me!

Thanks!

km

[nickolasb22]

smooth

[MissScarlett122]

Donna, Enjoy watching you play, you are as good as they come on the steel, by far the best lady picker and better than alot of the great name men steel pickers. Keep playing you are great. Jack

[chuck22348]

It's Donna's kind of steel pickin that made the crying steel what it bacame and still is. This is exactly the crying steel that country lovers are always looking for. Donna, as a musician myself, my hat is off to you. Please don't ever stop playing that crying steel guitar. It is PICKERS like you that keep it alive.

Sacramento, Chuck

[pickerplus]

From H.S. days till now, I always loved Hank Snows music. It was the Steel Guitar that set sound. I would love to meet Donna & coverse with her about the Music. After hearing Donna, I really never heard a great Steel player. We both live in TN. We might meet somewhere. E-mailing Donna, showed me what kind of a person she is. All the luck in the world raising your family. I would love to get some CD's. of you, if you ever put one out. Doug in east TN.

[resophon]

Goose pimps alright! Perfect touch.

[kitkatjoe50]

This sure is a grand player who could teach 9 out of 10 boys how to play the pedal steel.Men go and try then cry cause you know your not as good as this.

[UTMarkMan]

Hey Kitkatjoe, I agree that yes she is a fantastic player, but this is not a contest, it is entertainment, and thank you goes to steelpicker for posting these wonderful video's, and if you do some research kitkatjoe, you will find many of great MALE steelers, such as Lloyd Green, Bobbe Seymoure, Ect. Ect. Ect. and don't forget Sarah Jory, who in my mind is fantastic not only as a steel player but a person as well. thanks.

[hideyho67]

Hearing Donna play has reminded me how much I always loved the pedal steel.When I was a kid I used to hear it a lot more than today I guess you have to seek out what is good.Thank you for playing this video.

[2558465]

All of the guys need to just hang it up....

The way she plays has all of 'em beat...

Simply ... Beautiful!!!!

Gives me goose bumps !!!

[whisperfan]

I had the pleasure of seeing Donna many times when she toured with Bill Anderson. She was always on the top of her game and can really make that steel talk. She is also a very lovely polite lady. I wish you all the best Donna.

Wow i had never heard Donna Before, until my good friend Jimmy Blevins told me to come here and listen to her, I am totally in Awe, and amazed at how Awsome she is. Jimmy is also on here with "a joker and 3 aces - booze party original guitar picker" and a fantastic steel player himself. Donna if you read this yourself, i am sorry i have never heard of you before, but hope you return, you are totally Awsome.

[vitaman7]

Hey, does anyone know why Donna left the pedal steel? She's such an awesome player.

I would be nice if someone had any more of her music to post it on the "Tube". I'm awestruck by her excellence with the steel. Plus I have always liked listening to Patsy Cline, anyway.

[Steelpicker]

Donna did not leave the steel guitar. She got married and has children. She just has her priorities straight. I do have more video and will post at a future date.

Bill

[wwooddaaddyy]

She should continue to play. I for one would not mind all the cradles, bassinets, crying, snacks, and toys all around where she's playing as long as she's still playing.

[Keyman2279]

What a shame she doesn't play professionally anymore.

[1johnjp]

Just absolutly fantatic

[graham1281]
