Much agreed Jim. There is a renewed interest in 6 or 8 string lap guitars. Good for Janet.

J.R..........,I bought the CD at the Dallas show. Lloyd and J.D. Maness had a booth set up for sales, conversation, and photos....it was great.

""Is it any wonder ".......lyrics from the song "So Sad" off Lloyd Green's new CD "Revisited After listening to Lloyd's CD on my 250 mile trip back home from Dallas, and playing that selection over and over I came to the conclusion "is it any wonder" how Lloyd...

You had a great set. You certainly didn't look nervous to me and Barbara. Looking forward to next time.

Congratulations Jody on a well deserved recognition. You are certainly on my list of Heroes of steel guitar.

I'm headed to the TSGA Show in Dallas this week. I will have 2 Peavy amps with me and for sale. A Nashville 400 I bought in 1984 and in very good condition. A Nashville 1000 that's like new and one of the last ones Peavy made. Used very little. Also a vintage Sho-Bud volume pedal. If anyone is inter...

Randy......got a trail ride gig Sunday afternoon. Won't be able to make this one. See you in Dallas soon.

What a fun event this steel guitar cruise was! Looking forward to hearing from Jacki about the next one. Many thanks to all who made it happen!

It was a fun time for sure, and thanks for the hospitality. It is always great to get together with great musicians and jam. Wonderful group of folks who came out to listen. I will do my best to make the next one. Great report.

Randy,

Looking forward to playing at the Victoria Steel Guitar jam.

If the creek don't rise, I'll be coming to the jam.

After 21 straight years of attending Scotty's ISGC, this Labor Day weekend will feel very empty. Many, many thanks to the Scott family for providing us in the steel guitar community such a great forum for sharing our love for this instrument. I had a chance to talk with Michael Scott in Dallas this ...

Much deserved recognition. Congratulations to Del, and the entire Mullen family and associates.

My wife and I are booked for the cruise. Should be fun, and looking forward to it.

Randy,

I am determined to make one of your jams, but my schedule keeps getting in the way! Have a gig at Rosenberg American Legion Sunday 2:00 pm. I will keep an eye out for the next one.

Jim, you are right the harmonics are all over the place. The only other steel guitarist I have heard do an outstanding job on that tune is Russ Hicks. Oh, and BTW Stephen, Dale "eviserated" Alley Cat. I guess that is one way to put it LOL.

Dale is a great picker, and he has a lot of fun doing his set. It is always a treat when he makes down our way. I would love to sit down with him to learn Rose City Chimes!!

I am in the beautiful state of Oregon visiting family with my wife Barbara through this weekend. I would love to hear Bob play. I have his CD's and they are wonderful. They are now being played on Charles Tilley's web site. I know it is going to be good at the Jam. Hope to see everyone the next time.

Another sad time in the world of steel guitar. Sincere condolences to the Scott family.

Thanks Larry. The trip to Ft. Worth this past weekend was unavoidable, but I did go by the hall yesterday morning to talk with two of our members who were cleaning the hall. They said the crowd was great, and the music even greater. I learned that some of our Legion members were even dancing in the ...

Boy did I miss a good one!! My wife and I had to be out of town this last weekend (Ft Worth)and could not attend. The really sad part for us is that we live a block away from the American Legion hall here in Wallis. I bought my first D-10 Super Pro Sho-Bud from Herb in 1983. I couldn't resist callin...

It is hard to imagine the world of steel guitar without Buddy Emmons. Since the mid to late 1960's after hearing him play the instrument, I was compelled to try and learn the steel guitar. Now after all these years I am still trying to figure out the beautiful phrases he played with such passion. Wh...

See you all next time.

I really hate to miss this Jam. I wanted to see Janet play that new Mullen G2. My grandson is performing with the Houston Youth Symphony this afternoon at the Rice University Shephard School of Music. This is a priority event. Hope to see everyone next time.

Very sad news to hear of Mel passing away. I will always remember the time we spent discussing steel guitar and the many players. Our last conversation was at Scotty's in St Louis last fall, and at the new venue near the airport. Mel was a true friend, and I will always remember him. Barbara and I s...
