The other day I was listening to NPR during an Ira Glass show on 
couple-relationships, and during the interview they kept playing a really 
beautiful track that was echoey steel guitar playing slowly to high 
pitched, reverbed.... um... ahem..'twinkly-synth-washes'...  it sounded 
old maybe, like from the Tomita/Vangelis hey-days, but Ill probably never 
find out who it was.. Old Fripp, Eno, Fehlman....buhler... buhler.. ??? 

anyways.. it got me thinking that how badly Id like to make a compliation 
of good steel-guitar ambient music.  I remembered how excited my 
country-fied friends became when I left my KLF Space record playing or 
when Id play Gentle Peoples "Relaxation Central".

I guess Im looking for suggestions on more steel-guitar type chill-choonz 
to sneak into the collections of my Junior Brown loving friends.  Not to 
mention itd make a good decompression-disc.

TIA
