The Steel Guitar Forum

Jeffrey: Love this post! I was working overseas in the 92-95 time frame but on my leave time I used to drive up to DeBary and hang out at Larry’s store. That black Emmons in your first picture I bought from him in 1993 and still have it to this day. I think of Larry every time I sit down to play. He...

I recommend purple or blue. Both are removable with standard hand tools. NEVER RED! Waaaaaaay to tough to break loose.

Is there a “check-in” table on the 9th?

What a activities are on the 9?

We’re looking forward to the jamboree!!

YES YES YES! We’re looking forward to it. Our first time attending.

Ok, I’ll probably get flamed and slammed but here’s my $0.02 worth. My experience as an audience member and steel player, I went to hear the players really stretch out. On more than one occasion at the jams I attended, when the picker kicked off a jazzy tune on C6, there were moans from the audience...

Here’s a GREAT record with Moon shining as only he could...

Larry was a great guy! I used to make a point of visiting his store everytime I came out on leave. I still have the black 1993 Legrande I bought from him.

A good friend and is greatly missed.

Looking for someone in central Florida area adept at adding knee levers on my 93 LeGrande.

Does anyone know if there is going be a jam/show around Lakeland this January (the Heywood Henson show)?

Is there going to be a show in Lakeland, Florida this year? I haven't seen "hide-nor-hair" of ANYTHING posted.

Jeffery: I bought that guitar (a '93) from Larry in late 1993 from his DeBary store and still have it. I was stationed on Ascension Island at the time and every trip stateside, I made a point to drop by and visit the store. I loved hanging out and chatting with Larry. I love that ol' Emmons and will...

Is there going to be a Lakeland show this year?

Deal pending.

Steve:

Am looking for a trade for a really good quality lap, console, or high quality square-neck.

I bought this guitar several years ago with intentions of making an extended E9th. Too many other priorities and a heavy dedication to my Emmons and it stayed in the case. It needs a little TLC and a clean-up. Needs a new switch on the end plate but is playable with a tweak. Looks for a straight tra...

I am going to be on Kauai from March 30 until 5 April 2014 and was wondering if there are any places to go to head some steel guitar while on the island.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ricky...

Ticket bought and room reserved!!!!

I love it when it clicks like that. I was playing with a group I had never picked with before but enjoyed. The singer called for the Seger tune "Like a Rock" and off we went. He turned for me to take the solo and after the first couple bars, we were in the pocket and it was GREAT! The sing...

I say it's John Hughey.

Thoughts?

Paul: just wanted to say "Bakersfield" is a class-act! Thanks to you and Vince Gill for the excellent work.

Your solo on "Holding Things Together" is incredible.

Great job!!!

Okay, check this out you guys. Christmas morning, my wife, Kate, and I were exchanging gifts when she game me a fair sized wrapped box. It was light, but one never knows. When I opened it, it turned out to be the nicest Christmas card I ever received. On it she wrote a little poem telling me not to ...

Looking to catch his show in Evans, Georgia and wondering who is playing steel these days?

Ricky...

Thanks for the kind words guys!

A set of clips from a gig in Cocoa Beach a couple weeks ago followed by a song I backed up with a good friend of mine Stoney (original). Hope y'all like it . My first posting of my work on the Forum. Nothing fancy, just an impromptu gig at the Beach Shack. The song that follows is an original by my ...

My wife is learning bass. I have been wanting BIAB for my own steel purposes, but here's my question -

Is it a good training/learning tool for her?

Thanks for your honest answers.
