The Steel Guitar Forum

Clete was a good man, a dear friend, a fine and soulful songwriter and guitarist. I will always remember his generosity in coming out to California at his own expense to play at a benefit concert. Here is a link to Clete’s Bio on his website: http://www.cleatwooley.com/index.php?option=com_content&a...

Leo Eiffert and I had a fun time last night at the Irvine Meadows amphitheatre. J.T. Hodges opened up the show followed by Eric Church, then Toby Keith and his mighty fine band. We got there early and were privileged to be able to hang out back stage and chat with Josh Bertrand (who sounded great on...

Bump to the top.

This is going to be a nice event for Brother Leo! As I posted in Ron Epperson’s “leo eiffert jr” thread: • Most of you who know Leo are aware of the fact that for many, many years he has been the one who organizes and performs at benefits for musicians and others in need. In addition to Forumites, t...

Ron: Thanks for organizing this benefit for Leo. • Because there are other "Leo J. Eiffert" threads on the Forum - you should edit the title to include: Benefit, date, and location. • Most of you who know Leo are aware of the fact that for many, many years he has been the one who organizes...

We lost another Southern California neighborhood musician - drummer, singer and song writer Johnny Fraley. I had the pleasure of picking with Johnny a number of times and he was always inspirational and a good cat. He was known most recently for his work with Lonnie Duckworth and Lazy Brad Lewis. Fo...

Hub Kapp and the Wheels were true proto-punks. The Wheels wore dark sunglasses, black berets and sullen expressions and adopted the punky pseudonyms Rip Kord (Condello), Ry Krysp (bassist Bob Dearborn) and Ty Klyp (drummer Rich Post). Occasionally they were joined on stage by fourth Wheel Terry Klot...

I really dig Lazy Brad’s new CD! Here is a corrected link to lazy Brad Lewis’s face book. Lazy B (,@)==::: www.myspace.com/lazybradlewis Not only is he a great songwriter, singer, and picker, Lazy Brad Lewis has always been there to donate his time and talent to help out at benefits. Wish I could ha...

I first saw this photo a few years ago in my cousin’s recording studio. I recognized Scotty, Jay Dee Maness, and Leo /LJ Eiffert (even when like many of us - he really had hair. I would not have guessed the others correctly. I thought “where are the ACM/CMA and FBI/CIA historians when you need them?...

in this grainy old photo?

Hey Leo are these guys flying in?

LattimerFor all of us city folks, here is a link to the new location of the honorary benefit for Mr. Drake, at the T-Bird Club. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&...

Mike did a great job on a nice selection of tunes. It was refreshing to see and hear the pedal steel guitar as the featured instrument, especially in a venue that was not specifically booked as a steel show or a steel jam. Although "Danny Boy" was a fitting encore, I would have much more p...

This is for a very good cause and will be a lot of fun. I didn't know Dave, but Lou brought a spiritual vibe to all of the benefits and gigs that I had the pleasure of playing with him at over the past few years.
