Michel is absolutely a top shelf musician. Fabulous Steeler and just as good on guitar. He is always friendly and willing to share his extensive knowledge of the Steel with anyone. Super nice man.

G'day Greg, nice clip.

Just want to Ditto what Ivan said! (Hi Ivan)

Michel (pronounced Michelle) formerly of Mauritius, is one of Australia's top steelers & together with Stuart French, formed The Feral Swing Katz a hot western swing band.
Also top session pickers, their names appear on a great many albums across various genres produced in Oz.
Check out some of the Ferals numbers.

Great vid!

A non steel question: Does anyone know what Pickup Redd Volkaert is using in the Neck position on his tele?

I believe that's a Charlie Christian Re issue.
