(BEDFORD) - The new Traditional Arts Indiana display in Adult Services area of the Bedford Public Library features the Rev. Clary Butler Jr. and the steel guitar he plays at the House of God Church in Indianapolis.
Butler learned to play the steel guitar while growing up as a member of a House of God Church in South Carolina.
The tradition of using the steel guitar for worship services began in the 1930s when pianos were unaffordable. This tradition of "sacred steel" is important to Butler, who teaches his congregation about the instrument and makes the steel guitar an integral part of his church worship service.
The traveling displays from Traditional Arts Indiana change every few months and are provided at no cost to libraries throughout Indiana.
