Of course, you would sound great whatever you played. This guitar is something for me to just enjoy at home for the rest of m...

I do not have a smartphone. Just a jitterbug flip phone and have no idea how to post pictures. It is red with a black pad. Single neck on a double frame. Three petals, four knees.

New Mullen guitar

I have received my new Mullen petal steel guitar. Wow, what a beauty. Plays fantastic. I've gone from 12 strings to 10 and there is an adjustment period, but I expected that. This will bring a spark of new fun making me work my brain some. :lol:

In my many years of playing, when they do this, they are not aware of how to back up and when to lay out. I would try to explain how it should be done. If they were willing to listen, everything would be fine. If they don't listen, then don't worry about it. Go ahead and be blunt.

Every keyboard player I've ever played with knew how to play chords and backup except for one. I pulled him over on break and tried to explain it to him. He said he did not know how to play chords or backup. So, I asked him to sit on his hands until it was time for him to take a ride. However, he go...

I was in a band that fronted Jerry Lee Lewis in Columbus Georgia around 1982. He was playing one of his first shows after having major surgery. He had nearly died back then. He was very thin, but he sure put on a show.
I never thought he would live this long. Heck, I never thought I'd live this long.
