I have not known most of the musicians Matt Perpick interviews yet each one has supplied a treasure trove of stories and material. I don’t even play the pedal steel but that doesn’t even matter. Great questions, great connections with each artist, and one finds so much satisfaction in each episode. Keep up the amazing work!
I picked up an 8 string lap steel in the summer of 2024 and immediately started looking for resources to give me context about the instrument. Listening to these interviews has given me a lot to chew on and some great listening recommendations.
Thanks so much for doing this podcast. Excellent interview with David Murphy.
You’re a great host. Asks lots of insightful questions. Loved your interview with Christine Bougie.
Thanks to the FJ crew for providing this window into the steel guitar world. Loving the variety. I’d personally love just a bit more tech talk (tuning, pedal/lever specifics, etc.). Thanks for doing this!
