You talked about Greg Leisz. It would be awesome if you could get him to do an interview. Thanks for doing this for all us steel guitar players/fans Russ!

'Finally got around to watching this. Such great insights, and I love Eddy's open to exploring all the musical possibilities. 'Great hearing you guys.

I've never been a fan of steel guitar. Saw Eddy play with Vince Gill at the Ryman a couple of weeks ago and my mentality was changed, what a great player. Good wake up call!

Good interview Eddie ,great answers to some hard questions .

[@Melvvynfirmager]

This is great! I only just discovered it, showing up on TH-cam. First I have heard of the Council. There was a lot of information and ideas, yet it was spoiled by so much jargon, without explanation, so totally lost on me. Very frustrating. To sum up, there is too much 'inhouse jargon'. So, closed to all who want to learn more...... I'm hoping these words help. Thank you

Damn Russ, you bring out a lot of insights in these interviews

[@scottstewart4621]

I love this project, but I think there needs to be an injection of pessimism. Why ISNT the steel more popular? To players and listeners? Where has the instrument struggled to find a place? What about the build and the mechanics is dated and more easily remedied with new technology? How does this set-up struggle to fit into the future of music making (more and more young brilliant solo producers on laptops)?
Love your stuff Russ, but there are many hard questions that might deserve more spotlight than gear talk or nostalgia. Excited to see what's next. ❤

Thanks Russ and Eddy. I seen Eddy in his early days at Mt Vernon and other Illinois venues by Bobby Reed. Always a joy to see and hear. He is a serious dedicated player that doesn't stop learning. Great review.
