Bill , I have just looked at this video again (directed from the forum for david hartley,) Bill your playing is so awesome your tone is awesome, also you have "that" feeling for a slow ballad that only the best have.
Bill, Ive listened to this many times now,( cos I downloaded it to my Mac ) that is gorgeous playing .
Im not a good player myself but I have listened to steel players for 45 years and someone who puts a tear down my cheek is tops in my book, your playing is very emotional on these slow ones like buddy emmons and john hughey. makes me want to burst. cheers Alan.
Miss Laney Hicks sounds like she's listened to some Connie Smith records...and that's definitely NOT a bad thing! Beautiful voice, and great steel playing, Mr. Bill! Thanks for this and all the videos you've posted! Now...how do I get the drumming gig at the ISGC? What a dream that would be!--Skeeter
I am a new comer to youtube and I found your videos. I play keys and am just getting ready to learn steel pedal guitar, and I just wanted to say your great, can't get enough of listening to you play. Keep it coming I have become a devoted fan. Thanks for the great music Bill.
Very nice! One of my favorites and you do a beautiful rendition.
