This competition is a nice idea, but it is just plain wrong to make an exception for the steel guitar! The steel player should play a real Hawaiian acoustic steel and not be allowed to get away with an electric lap steel or pedal steel as in this case. You might as well plug every one at this point.

Doug Fitch, who posted here not too long ago, was a member of a group that won a few years ago. At least that's the way I remember it <grin>.
