Just a quick heads-up for everyone!
I'm going to give a short lap-steel workshop at the Dundee Blues Bonanza this weekend. It will be Saturday Morning, July 1 at Dexter's. The times of the workshops are posted here:

I'm not sure when mine is exactly during the suite of workshops. But it's really worth it to be there (I know I will) because Little Jimmy Reed is doing a workshop as well. Even if you're not a player, it might just be interesting to hear how this stuff works.
For my part, I'll show you how to get started playing lap style without any special equipment.
