This is a guy I fooled around with briefly when I lived in NYC in 1992.
Hahah

Very talented on pedal steel. Really funny.
But massive alcoholic.
Used to finish a six pack before breakfast.
Tragically, he was in a house fire about eight years ago, and had third degree burns on most his body. Most his fingers were burned off.
He can still play, somewhat now, but has to use some kind of special glove.
These are tunes he did from when I knew him.
Even tho he loved jazz, I'm not totally sold on the crossover he did, cos as a jazz thing, it's a little tame for me.. You can hear he is really a country player outta Austin, but really love the sound he gets.
