First try-out with this new lapsteel. I haven't owned or played lapsteel for a couple of years, so this is a real incentive to get playing again and to properly learn how to handle it....here's a dodgy cut-down version of Santo and Johnny's "Sleepwalk"

Congrats on owning such a nice instrument... Happy Birthday, I do hope that you will continue to post videos playing this instrument. I love that song and I clearly remember how impressed I was when you did the video playing it on cigar box guitar.... Thank you for posting this... I had to share it on my facebook page....

I can see you have a nice touch for it, beautiful steel too, if you don't keep after this you're missing the boat. I have no doubt with this intrument in you possesion you'll probably continue-again beautiful sound. The only limits for lap style playing are in your mind.
