You'd be happy to know Dickeys' still gettin it on! I talked to him last Saturday night (I told him I was there so I "could go to college") at a dance close to me here in Texas. He was with his brother-in-law (Darrell McCall) and I was mesmerized the whole time. He plays "sock-footed" and I asked him about that. He said it just gives him better control on the pedals. I'm very fortunate to live so close to such a GREAT talent and try to pick up on some experience from a master! An extremely friendly guy. I told him the point I was at on the steel (playing 1 year) and he told me to come see him sometime. Will do Dickey, since you only live 30 miles from me!

Owen, glad to know Dicky is still going strong. Darrell McCall is another who is about as good they get when it come to singing a country song. Being they are so many great pickers and singers there in Texas....you do indeed live in Utopia.

Man, that one is SO smooth it's unbelievable! I also asked Dicky where he was from originally. He told me Tulsa. I've heard and seen him several times in the last year also in that he does a lot of work (live and session) with his step-daughter - Amber Digby. Don't know if she is getting a lot of airplay in your part of the country, but whe is definitly coming on strong around here. However, the key thing is I get to hear and watch Dicky. You know he was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame, and is MUCH deserving!

and another great example of his fine pedal steel playing on this tune with Kimberly Murray " The Steel Guitar Song"
