Looking for a video of a steel player

Post by Ian McKeown »

Hi all,

A long shot possibly, but I am hoping someone can find me a youtube video. The steel player is an older gentleman, in his 70s or 80s, and he is in what looks like a garage with a handful of others playing old country and (i think) western swing. I also think he is either playing a blue guitar, or maybe wearing something blue. I remember the playing being so good, I'd like to see it again if it rings a bell for anyone.

Best
Ian

Thank you Michael and David, and apologies for not seeing these replies sooner. They don't quite match what I remember (or made up in my head lol) but they're both new to me and greatly appreciated!

Joseph, that's not it but I am always amazed by Kayton Roberts' playing.

Scott, this is a great one, definitely have tried to steal some licks from it.

Thanks for sending guys, I wonder if i just dreamed the video I think i saw. I often save my favourite steel vids on youtube, so it's possible I did that but it got taken off the site at some point.
