Introducing Ron Hiler: When I first heard
Ron Hiler he was playing with a Gospel Group called " The Messengers". They were
doing a free concert at a nursing home where my mother in-law was residing. On that day I
heard beautiful pedal steel sounds floating down the hall from her room.
I investigated the sound and found it was Ron warming up before the group started. I
remember how smooth this guy was. I went in to hear their concert and enjoyed some of the
best gospel singing I had ever heard...all backed by Ron on his pedal steel. He is a great
player and has the tone and smoothness that we all strive for....truly a fine musician!
The following is some info Ron submitted to us..WELCOME RON!
