Sneaky Pete Dies

Pedal steel guitar god Sneaky Pete died in early January; and your humble blogger missed the notice!

In case you did, I've dug up some info about his death and his career.

In short, Sneaky Pete was in the Flying Burrito Brothers with Americana saint Gram Parsons and underappreciated Narrows vet Chris Hillman, and did session work for John Lennon, Joe Cocker and many others.
