Dave Harley should be included....No, he's not famous in Nashville...but he could be. He's right up there with the best I've ever heard. I guess being in England is a drawback to becoming a famous steel picker.
Holy mother of pearl, the drummer is running away with it! Weldon starts out at a nice easy tempo and the drummer keeps speeding up. Hey, chill out, this isn't about you, it's about a great steel player. You can tell the drummer has played in clubs a bunch and is used to playing on top of the beat, and on top of that, and on top of that, and on top of that. Great guitar break by the late Bobby Caldwell. Weldon has such great hands.
A great song by a truly great steel guitarist. I have been a fan of Weldon for many years. And, I might add, that I have admired your steel playing, Bill Ferguson. You have a wonderful touch on the steel. A Montana steeler, Louis Armentaro at
I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him through a friend. He got me on the stage at the Grand Ole opry to watch him play and meet all the classic stars. What a great man, friend and father I am sure.
Are you using a dial up or high speed connection? You are the only one that has said anything about the music cutting out. I just watched and it was fine.
I am currently in Algeria, which MAY be the reason. I amusing a dial up, again because I am over here may be the reason. I head home next week, and it might change.
His technique is flawless, making this complicated instrument look like duck's soup to play, which is the mark of a true master. Thank you ever so much for sharing this beautiful rendition. :-)
There is absolutely nothing more beautiful than a Steel Guitar in country music!!! I grew up loving honkytonk and the great men who picked the steel!! The lack of it in these modern country songs is more than noticable!!! Thanks for the great videos of these legendary artists......... and the great old songs they've perserved here!!

Between Weldon, Buddy Emmons, Curly Chalker, Hal Rugg and Maurice Anderson, the best steel pickers ever are represented. Curly and Hal rest in Peace.

Video is great if I could hear (one) without it always cutting out on me. Am I doing something wrong?

cmlbob is absolutely correct - country music just isn't the same without this beautiful sound. Weldon Myrick truly is a 'great'.

You're thinking of Cayton Roberts who played such great non pedal steel with Hank Snow.
