Blane,
I'm not sure where to find the "dingle-balls" but fringe should be easier to find!
By the way, "Nair" may be a better choice to keep down on the rash, I'll have to check with Herb and see what he is doing these days.

Oh, by the way I sent Gordie a video tape, be sure and ask him about it. He should get it in a few days.

I've been wearing SCUBA flippers lately. They are designed for bare feet and don't seem to snag my hose like the cowboy boots did.

Would a female player have to wear a strap-on to use a Johnson lever?

I'm glad somebody brought this up. I was practicing with whatever was on my feet at the time and I was amazed at how screwed up impossible it was to feel the pedals in my $14 Wal Mart sneakers (wide,stiff soles). Yet my old Nike's weren't a problem. The shoes can make a difference. Especially when you're trying to push the C pedal and go left knee lever left at the same time. (And don't ask me why I was trying to do this...)

I can't imagine playing in boots, my ankles resist twisting the way it is already without more stuff in the way.

Ballerina slippers (or whatever they're called), that's it. My 12 yr old daughter wants a pair, now I know how I can sneak a try.... (just gotta avoid the wife...)

Sock feet here. It's the only way I can do it - my feet/shoes are too big.

Bare Feet Here.
Its the only way I can fit under my steel. Even with a 2" extension!

Boy, I'm sure glad that none of you guys said 'high heels'.
I wear thin leather sole boots.

I've been wearing Florsheim Comfortech thin-soled loafers. I have two pair, black and brown. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever found for playing pedal steel, and they look good, too.
