Sounding really good! Your steel adds a nice dimension.

That was Alvino Rey and Stringy. Movies and variety TV shows they were on didn’t show him using a voice box (overdubbed?), but the sound is just like Pete.

At eight years old in 1960 I started playing a 6 string Epiphone lap steel. Was gifted a double neck Stringmaster at 10. Played for about 8 years, performed occasionally in a family band, and then quit cuz I was bored since I only played to written music and I couldn’t get the sounds of a pedal guit...

Looking for a set of 12 card stock fretboards that accompanied Jeff Newman’s Pedal Power course from the 70s. Must be in good condition. (I spilled wine on mine.)

Let’s see, guitar, pedal steel, vocals, and performing on Austin City Limits. You go girl! I thought what she played plus her tone were appropriate for the song. The music isn’t my first choice but it was played well in my opinion. The ladies looked like they were having fun and were respectful. I w...

Great job, Ruth! And a nice way to remember your friend.

Yes, Tal, increasing the seat height may not be an ideal solution for every vertically challenged player, but it is ideal for me and might be for Harry. I feel very comfortable at my guitar and I spent less than $20 for wooden dowels and rubber feet. I’ve also sold 3 standard height guitars over t...

I have a nice fat Sho-Bud volume pedal that helps raise ...

I’m only 5’ 3” and play a standard height GFI Ultra currently. This is the 5th steel I’ve owned and I haven’t changed the height on any of them so as not to hinder the resale value. I did, however, raise the height of my steel seat. Works for me. PM me if you want the specifics of what I d...

There are still a very few items I might like to purchase from Jeffran, but as PayPal is not listed any longer as a method of payment, I’ll do without. A few times my lesson orders were incomplete and Melissa made good on them. Until the last time when I had to go through PayPal to get a refund. I...

There’s a CD with that course also. Jeffran is down right now as they are moving their business, should be back up in a few weeks. If you sign up for their emails you’ll get notices of their sales which they have often. Some customers say they aren’t having problems lately receiving their orde...

Found another: JD Call- Pure Prarie League - Songs of Pure Harmony, Alive in America 1974 - once he puts the Banjer down Totally agree! JD was like the Energizer Bunny on this one. He said some of the boys had gotten into some Turkey before the show and it sounds like JD is keeping them in tow! He'...

I have a Newman course from the 70s called The Pedal Steel Guitar Monthly. If that’s the same course it only went up to #10. Mine has a different cover.

Sent you an email, Dennis.

Yes, I’ve checked it several times. Let’s try this. If you give me your email addy, I can send you an email and you can attach it to a reply. Thank you for your help and patience.

Sorry, nothing yet. There’s no colon at the beginning, if you sent it that way.
Thanks so much for trying.

Dennis,
I checked my email. Nothing from you. Could you try sending that again please?

Kenny, look for a PM from me.
I also got in contact with David Hartley. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Kenny!
Lynn

Please do, Dennis. You can mail it through the Forum. That’s my up to date addy. Thanks!

Thanks John. Still looking for a backing track.

Nothing there, Carl.

Thanks, Marco. But there is no track available for that. I asked Michael about it a few years ago and he said they would never have one.

Looking to buy tab and /or track for Bars of Steel. Digital is OK.
Thanks!
