Bill plays steel guitar
Hi everyone, hope you are having a good Xmas, despite the circumstances.
I've been listening to "Wakefield via time machine" on Bill's YouTube channel, a video for Bill's 'New Northern Dream' launch party in October 2016. If you haven't heard this, you should. At about 14:02 is a track which sounds like Bill paying a steel or lap steel guitar. It's superb! Does anyone know what album track this is? And is it a steel guitar, or slide playing on a regular guitar, I wonder? Whatever it is, I love it!
best wishes to all!

It's a lap steel/slide guitar part. I can't recall which of my guitars I used, but it was either my Eastwood lap steel or my vintage '50s Supro Belmont which I sometimes use as a lap steel as the action is quite high. The tuning, I think, was standard. But I can't identify the name of the track or which album it came from. Just too many recordings to hold them all in my mind I'm afraid. But perhaps someone here in Dreamsville will know....
