That's a nice one Dick. The C pedal doesn't get enough love from me yet there are so many things that can be done with it.

Thanks Quentin,
I ended this one in the 5 chord, originally had it going back to the 1... But that can get boring. Lol! I guess I still have a few left in me. Thank you for the kind words.

It really works good in my head Dick. My steel is upside down on my bench waiting for plastic washers to come in the mail. Tom Brunet uses the C pedal in conjunction with the D lever and gets some other really cool sounding stuff.

Hey Nick, they just never seem to come to me on the bandstand. Lol! I think I have to be asleep... Haha! Always working on stuff, but it just comes in spurts. That happens when ya get old I guess. Hope your doing well and picking as much as you want.
