I don't know who's playing on this

The first big white rock band, Bill Haley's Comets, had a steel player.
But Elvis didn't have one (possibly b/c he couldn't afford one). By the time Buddy Holly's Crickets hit, the issue was settled: rock bands did not have steel guitars.

Joseph Kekuku‘upenakana‘iapuniokamehameha Apuakehau, Jr. (1874/75 – January 16, 1932), better known as Joseph Kekuku, was a Hawaiian-American musician and the inventor of the steel guitar.
quote:
Joseph told me that he was walking along a road in Honolulu forty-two years ago, holding an old Spanish guitar, when he saw a rusty bolt on the ground. As he picked it up, the bolt accidentally vibrated one of the strings and produced a new tone that was rather pleasing. After practicing for a time with the metal bolt, Joe experimented with the back of a pocket-knife, then with the back of a steel comb, and still later on with a highly-polished steel [bar] very similar to the sort that is used today

If that's true, more power to him/ her.
Sometimes Kafka posts great stuff that I've never heard before.
