Recorded on January 10, 2021, this unforgettable conversation brought together legendary musicians whose innovations transformed not only the House of God Church tradition but also influenced the sound of gospel, blues, Americana, and modern pedal steel music around the world. Hosted by Danté Harmon, this rare master class features an extraordinary panel of visionaries: • Bishop Laban Burns – The original drummer for the historic trio featuring Bishop L. Harrison and Harvey Jones, sharing firsthand memories from the earliest days of Sacred Steel. • Bishop Ted Beard – Revered as the "Master of the Train," reflecting on his signature style, ministry, and musical philosophy. • The late Calvin Cooke – One of the principal architects of the Sacred Steel tradition and the pioneering developer of the E7 tuning, whose influence forever changed the language of the steel guitar. • Chuck Campbell – International recording artist, innovator, and trailblazer whose groundbreaking work with the Campbell Brothers introduced Sacred Steel to audiences around the globe. • Pastor Kenneth Ellis – Accomplished rhythm guitarist whose musicianship and innovative approach helped shape the legendary Keith Dominion (Keith Dom) sound, influencing countless musicians and worship experiences throughout the House of God tradition. • Chief Musician Ronnie Mozee – One of the most respected musicians and teachers in Sacred Steel history, offering timeless insight into musicianship, excellence, and ministry. • Bishop James Robert Postell – Ronnie Mozee's uncle and one of the most sought-after pioneers of the Sacred Steel sound, whose legacy continues to inspire players worldwide.
