Look At Us - John Hughey Knox 2000

One of the great steel breaks of all time was played by John Hughey. Here you hear an instrumental of the complete song.

This is "pure" steel guitar. Wow

i heard a rumor that pappa John died form the result of an accident in his micro light air palne, is this correct?

[Steelpicker]

No, John died from a heart attack. Jeff Newman died from a light plane crash a few years ago.

Now this is NOT a mickey-take! But who is the 'old fella' playing rhythm guitar on this? He seems to be enjoying every note that the maestro is playing - I guess you musicians are lucky to enjoy such a fantastic medium - and get paid for doing so! Long may you ALL continue! :-)

[Steelpicker]

That's Leonard T Zinn. He is a fixture at steel shows. He is ALWAYS happy.

hey bill, is john playing through the 2 evans speakers and his rack? looks like it

[Steelpicker]

Yes that was John's standard setup!

The bass player was a personal friend of mine...Ben Brogden...we worked together with Donna Fargo back in the "good ole days"...and remained friends until he passed away. Also in the band was Herby wallace on steel and Odell Martin on guitar...a scary band!

This is simply gorgeous my friend Glyn sent this to me, I don't think I have heard anything so wonderfully played, like someone says Leonard T Zinn loves every sound how wonderful a life.

Muriel xxx Thanks for posting Steelpicker.

Pedalman.... Hearing this cut, I can well believe it is among the best of the best. Your comment about John's ability to play with complexity, but with good taste choosing to go with more simplicity reminds me of another example of ultimate musicianship in the banjo work of the recently deceased Allen Shelton.

RIP my friend. You gave me great joy.

I used to play for a southern gospel group and we were recording at the Oaks Place studio. They had John and Sonny Garrish do some steel work on the recording. My dad was learning to play steel at the time and Look At Us hadnt been out very long. My dad just loved the steel in that song. I got both of their pictures and autographs for my dad. And John sat down and showed me exactly how he played the break in that song. I remembered it long enough to get back home and show dad. He was a nice guy.

This is wonderful. Seems like the Lord is calling all old good ones home.

Makes me tear up to see John play this. What a wonderful man. What a wonderful player. in the words of Eddie Stubbs, "ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?"
