Man, that sure was sweet.
Lots to enjoy in that clip.
Does Chris have an instrumental CD?

Nice! I really like the "boo-wah" tone control technique. Shades of Kayton, Speedy, and Alvino!

Don't forget Jerry Byrd...he did some special sounds on some of Hank Williams Sr's records !

Chris is a great player. He makes me want to take up lap steel actually. It's not something I've ever listened to a lot but after listening to Chris I've been trawling Youtube for other well known lap steel exponents. Cindy Cashdollar I was already familiar with. Also discovered a bunch of old stuff by someone called Buddy Merrill on early Lawrence Welk shows. Very impressive as well.

Excellent! Chris you look like a young Steve Allen (the late comedian).

Fantastic playing. All the bass players I work with are lazy compared to Jared Manzo.
