Here are some of my favorite links:

Here is the link to the website of my band, "The Country Buskers". This site is in German, but don't be scared, there are some photos and soundclips of live appearances as well under www.countrybuskers.at.tf 

My tribute to my all-time favorite steel guitar player can be found at www.lloydgreentribute.com - feel free to explore one of the most amazing careers inmusic business and check out hundreds of soundclips that show why he has been No. 1 in the Nashville studios for decades.

The most important link for everybody who is interested in the Steel Guitar, the players and the history is the Steel Guitar Forum. Bobby Lee is hosting this site, a discussion forum, that covers every aspect of the Steel Guitar, technical advise, hot discussions with other players about the instrument or simply chat, it's right there under www.steelguitarforum.com

Scotty´s Music - The Mekka for Steel Guitar Enthusiasts - Dewitt "Scotty" Scott has done more for the Steel Guitar   than anybody else in the world. He organizes and hosts the annual "International Steel Guitar Convention" in St.     Louis every year around Labor Day weekend. This is the event that no serious lover of the Steel Guitar should miss! Check out Scotty's webpage under  www.scottysmusic.com

If you are looking for 100's of soundclips with most of the famous steel solos, intros and turnarounds from the 1950's to present, check out Rebel's site - you won't be dissappointed! http://users.interlinks.net/rebel/steel/steel.html

A great website is hosted by Heiko Aehle from Germany. Information about himself as well as the instrument in general, well worth checking it out. Amazing graphic design! It can be found under www.steelguitar.de

Here is a link to a well-built website from the Netherlands, dedicated to the Universal tuning on the Steel Guitar, with tons of interesting information (interviews, festivals, shows etc.): www.pedalprouniversal.com

The Hawaiian Steelguitar Association has lots of information about the Hawaiian Guitar. Don't forget, friends, this is where it all comes from!  www.hsga.org

The most influential non-pedal steel guitar of all times is without a doubt Jerry Byrd, the "Master of Touch and Tone". My buddy Ray Montee has a great  website, honoring the man under www.jerrybyrdfanclub.com 

Carter Steel Guitars is one of the biggest names in making Steel Guitars today. Check them out under  www.steelguitar.com

Steel Guitar on Radio? Give it a try and listen to... www.steelradio.com

Red Kilby from Pueblo, Colorado is a good friend of mine and one hell of a nice guy! He is also a fantastic singer, he loves and supports the Steel Guitar. His website can be found under www.redkilby.com

I have been an active member of the Pedal Steel Guitar Association for over 15 years now. Bob Maickel and his team do an amazing job of supporting the Steel Guitar by publishing the Pedal Steel Newsletter ten times a year. Check out the website under www.psga.org

No link page could be complete without my friend Al Brisco from Canada. He is an accomplished player and a super nice guy who runs a mail order service from Canada. He saved my musical life a few years ago when all my accessoires (volume pedal, chords, bar, picks, tuner) were stolen out of my car. Al managed to get the new stuff to me within five (5!) days!!! Check out his website under www.steelguitarcanada.com

A great site for all who are interested in discographies, chart history, album cover scans is www.lpdiscography.com which I personally use as my number one reference site for this kind of information. You won't believe your eyes how much information this site offers!
