TED Talk with Pedal Steel

Post by Nate Hofer »

Recently I was super-honored and lucky to speak at a TEDx event here in Kansas City where I also played pedal steel.

Sorta hard to explain quickly. Drone photos, pedal steel, poetry, nuclear missile silos:

Very entertaining Nate! I'll bet it sounded awesome live in that venue. Looked like you were running in stereo? Nice job with the E-bow, along with the whole presentation.

Didn’t mean to post twice.

Post by Joe Bill Moad »

I got back on this forum and my first post came up as if I had not posted it. I posted it twice without knowing it was already there. Which I thought I had already posted it. My mistake.
