An absolute, undeniably sublime song. Likely the best one that will be mentioned in this entire thread tonight.

Even Trump found time to play a round of golf in the midst of all this. Decompressing for a moment doesn't mean we've lost our focus.

I've watched several YT vids of Bishop doing that song and checked the Wiki page for the song and no sight or mention of a pedal steel anywhere. It looks like the lead was played on a regular old guitar. I agree that it's a great song, though.
