Thanks, Dave! JayDee is truly a legend.

[Larry Jamieson]

Very interesting interview. I know Jaydee was a great player but I had no idea how much and how many musical projects he has been involved in over the years. Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed it. I am always interested in the history of the pedal steel guitar and the people who play it.

[Larry Dering]

I really enjoyed every bit of this interview. Wonderful stuff.

been waiting for this, thanks for sharing. congratulations Jay Dee!

Mr. Maness will always be one of my very favorites, that last piece he played was so impressive.
and how many guys still have all the hair they started out with??

I was trying to get over there for Jay Dee's big day and I definitely need to see the Western Edge exhibit before it goes away in mid-Sept, this was a great reminder.

Mike, I don't think it's on YouTube (yet). You'll have to click the link on Dave's OP which takes you to the video on the CMHOF website.

Great video. Does anyone know if Jaydee has Parkinson's Disease? I noticed the movements on his right hand. My wife has Parkinson's and I am more than familiar with the movements.
