"Whelp, let me tell y'all the real story 'bout how that thar pedal steel guitar come to be, straight from the mouth of an old hillbilly like myself.

Now, y'all might've heard the tale 'bout some fella from Hawaii pickin' up a railroad spike and slidin' it 'cross them strings, makin' all sorts of puuuurdy sounds. But let me tell ya, that ain't the whole truth, no sir-ree.

Y'see, them city slickers(book-learnin' nuts), they've been tryin' to rewrite history, makin' out like the pedal steel was just some natural eviliez-ations of the ol' Hawaiian guitar. But I'm here to tell ya, that ain't near all necessarily the case a t'all.

The real story is, them pedals and leevers on them thar guitars, they ain't got notin' doin' with no Hawaiians. Nope, them contraptions, they come straight from the minds of them space aliens!

Y'see, them critters from out there or 'bouts, they got all sorts of extra legs and appendages that us regular folk just cain't comprehend. And when they laid eyes on them thar guitar, welllllll kitty let me tell ya what; they just had to go and tinkerin' for themselves. An unworldly tone, y'know what I mean. Some folks might reckon it was more like an alien contraption fer torturin' ya, then makin' them sweet tunes.

So like I said them aliens, they got to workin' lickety-split, addin' all them fancy pedals and whatnots; that simple guitar played with back of my pocket knife, or lap steele as them slickers say, transfirmin' it into the pedal steel guitar y'know. But it wasn't 'til them cowboys and injuns found 'em, that they started makin' some plumb purty soundin' muzic, like y'all love.

That's why ya hear all them purty, slidin' notes comin' from a pedal steel - it ain't nothin' like what that Hawaiian fellas was doin'. Nope, that thar ruckus, it's straight outta this world, courtesy of them space critters up in thar flyin' saucers.

So y'all can keep believin' them city slickers and their tall tales, but I'm tellin' ya the truth; the pedal steel guitar, it's an alien contraption, pure and simple. Ain't nothin' gonna change my mind 'bout that!"
