The second hour will be quite riveting, too. I hope.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 4:04:49 PM
Thx, and I'm sure it will!
TAndy 4:06:33 PM
got me pining for the open road with the americana today dude
G Jax 4:08:32 PM
Nice. I'm a sucker any pedal steel
John Tobias (host) 4:09:41 PM
there will be a few appearances today
G Jax 4:10:36 PM
Hardest fricken instrument to play. Well. I tried. Years ago thought I could give it a go as I'm a half decent slide player. Wrongo.
John Tobias (host) 4:11:04 PM
my brain could not handle it either
G Jax 4:12:13 PM
Ron Wood describes it as a little like flying a helicopter. He's not wrong
John Tobias (host) 4:13:21 PM
I trust him more on the instrument than flying me in a helicopter
G Jax 4:13:22 PM
I mean I never flew a helicopter - neither had he I'm sure - but it engages every part of your body the way flying a helicopter would
John Tobias (host) 4:14:09 PM
Agreed
Rob from Maryland 🦀 4:46:30 PM
