Love that stuff Erich. That's going on the album when I do a "Best of Taxi" CD.I could have used you on My Circle K song I just posted. I used steel loops for the little bit of steel I have in there. Would love to have a lap steel solo in the empty space. Give it a listen and you'll see what I mean.Cam

Thanks Feaker. Playing lap isn't too bad if you're already up to speed with slide playing and alternate tunings. Other than that it's a matter of getting used to the different position. Those are actually Pink Salmon. I catch on fly, but usually use a 1/4 ounce maribu jig that I tye myself and use a light graphite trout rod -- fun stuff and great eatin'; especially smoked.Thanks Cameron,I liked your Circl K song. I gave a listen and left some comments.

Very nice. You're good man. I'm impressed. The mix sounds good, everything seems pretty balanced. And wait...I'm playing it again Andy

Nice, Erich. There always seem to be people looking for Hawaiian music and this is definitely good enough.It might be a little understated to stand completely on its own, but definitely works as background.Challenge to you: write/record a fast song with the same instrumentation and call it, "Lap Dance."Vince
