45 years ago! I recorded all the Pedal Steel Guitar parts on this album. Check out the Steel solo break (1:04) The engineer had me double the parts...

Nicely done, Dom! I assume based on the era and the tone that you were playing a Sho-Bud on that recording?

I was actually playing my old Fender 2000. On another song on the same album I used my C6th neck... BLACK GOLD FEVER.

Dom, it’s so great of you to share these gems from back in the day. Very cool to hear again for those of us who were there, and a chance for for others to, for the first time, hear some timeless music with the good news! Excellent playing and production.
