Big Ray Charles fan here. This one with Willie is among my faves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa4sE5q7ogg

That is indeed a great version. I love that pedal steel. I wish Willie always had one. BTW, when I saw him live, he had Grady Martin with him, who played the guitar licks on Marty Robbins's "El Paso" and "Big Iron."

I'd give (almost) anything to be able to play steel; but then I have a hard enough time trying to play a guitar...

To that end, I'd say get one and spend a little time getting to know it and something just might happen.
In the words of a Flip Wilson character, "you never know what you can do until you try."

I rest my case, :wink:

Non-pedal steel (see Cindy Cashdollar) isn't much harder to play than dobro. It's when you get foot pedals and knee levers that the instrument becomes almost impossible to master.

There was a fella playing a pedal steel (really well) at the Arlington Guitar show last October. I just stood in awe and enjoyed the man's awesome contributions to a very nice day...

I wish Joe!!!

Ben Keith was one of my favorite steel players. Neil Young's group has never been quite the same since his early passing in 2010.

Harvest Moon is a great listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st7NKEUs_8E
