This is "pure" steel guitar. Wow

The bass player was a personal friend of mine...Ben Brogden...we worked together with Donna Fargo back in the "good ole days"...and remained friends until he passed away. Also in the band was Herby wallace on steel and Odell Martin on guitar...a scary band!

This is simply gorgeous my friend Glyn sent this to me, I don't think I have heard anything so wonderfully played, like someone says Leonard T Zinn loves every sound how wonderful a life. Muriel xxx Thanks for posting Steelpicker.

Pedalman.... Hearing this cut, I can well believe it is among the best of the best. Your comment about John's ability to play with complexity, but with good taste choosing to go with more simplicity reminds me of another example of ultimate musicianship in the banjo work of the recently deceased Allen Shelton.

I used to play for a southern gospel group and we were recording at the Oaks Place studio. They had John and Sonny Garrish do some steel work on the recording. My dad was learning to play steel at the time and Look At Us hadnt been out very long. My dad just loved the steel in that song. I got both of their pictures and autographs for my dad. And John sat down and showed me exactly how he played the break in that song. I remembered it long enough to get back home and show dad. He was a nice guy.

Makes me tear up to see John play this. What a wonderful man. What a wonderful player. in the words of Eddie Stubbs, "ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?"

Just to my individual ear, there were two really HIGH points of the wonderful instrument I know as Pedal Steel Guitar. The first was Buddy's introduction to Ray Price's rendition of "Night Life," and the second is John's intro, to "Look at Us," by I think Vince Gill. It just (to me) not GET.........any better than this!!! And yes, I agree with you Bill, that L.T.Zinn is ALWAYS happy! Thanks for posting this one.

what an amazing man full of talent. He was so humble and I am glad that I had the chance to hear him play and talk with him. Thank you for sharing.

This is a master class in taste and professionalism. Here is a man who could play with such complexity but he doesn't ...its just beautiful touch tone and feeling, he did it all and does not have to prove one thing.
