Gibson Korina Lap Steel in Performance

[Cryo 0]

Broke out my Gibson Korina Lap Steel from 1960 for this performance. We were covering The Legend of Wooley Swamp, originally by the Charlie Daniels Band.

 

 

Love the growl of the PAF pickup.

It's like finding Waldo.

 

Us lapsteel players tend to get lost. Look between the two leads. Sitting down.

AHA...now I see it...with 10 people on stage its like playing in a philharmonic.

It's a large band. There are advantages and disadvantages to thiis, but I can talk about the positives here

1) many voices come together to make music. You can hear the contribution of each.

2) always amazing to have the group come together. Orchestra is larger, and even more amazing.

3) challenge to get agreement on things, but worth it when we do work it out.
