Does anyone here know Russ Pahl?? He plays pedal steel and guitar. Used to be with a band called Great Plains. An excellent player. I need to ask him some questions about his gear and tone. If anyone knows where he can be reached by snail mail or email I'd really appreciate it. I heard he is doing studio work right now. |

If it's the same guy, he's origionally from the Twin Cities area and was playing with a group (Sky Blue Water Boys)I believe, however this was about 20 years ago. |

Mark; You probably are aware of this but he's on the new Allison Moorer CD - the Hardest Part - nice stuff, no pyrotechnics but great feel. ------------------ |

Thanks Greg. Last time I saw him was on tape from 1992 in a band called Great Plains. Excellent tone and chops one of the very best ever. |

Last time I saw Russ (a coupla years ago), he was playing a stripped down LeGrande on which he'd pulled out the C6th neck, removed a coupla knee levers, and hard-wired his PenTad pickup to one of the voicings. He was using whatever amp was available at the time but often recording with just a SansAmp rack mount and a Quadraverb. I know he was hoping to pick up a ZB but I don't know if he ever did. He's a wonderful and 'under-appreciated' musician. |

I have a video somewhere where I believe he is playing guitar and steel for Michael Johnson. I recorded it off of TNN, I believe the "New Country" series quite a while ago. Great player. (Jack Sunrood is playing bass, also). Take care, Les |

I've known Russ for years. He was with The Sky Blue Water Boys in Minneapolis in the 70's. Then with Michael Johnson, Don Williams and Great Plains. The last I heard he was just doing sessions in Nashville. Both Russ and Mike Cass gave lessons at Clem Schmitz's store, The Pedal Steel Guitar Emporium, in Minneapolis. Russ is a great player. He cops any number of styles and does them all like he grew up playing just that style. ------------------ |

Met Russ Pahl in Battery Studios on 19th Avenue in Nashville September 1999! He was doing a demo session for Bluewater Music with Hal Ketchum. "For people who feel,there's gotta be steel" Best wishes,Andy Sainio. |
