'Sneaky' Pete Kleinow, Flying Burrito Brothers guitarist, dies

Kleinow will forever have a special place in my heart as one of the prime aural movers behind some of my favorite ever records. If I had to point to the guy who had the biggest part in my purchasing a pedal steel guitar (which I, incredibly sadly, have yet to really even play with, much less attempt to master).

Truck driver divorce!
It's very sad
(Steel guitars
Usually weep all over it)
