The Steel Guitar Forum

Someone posted a great photo from the Palomino to Facebook and I saved it but have no idea how to upload it here. Greg was the bass player during most of my tenure on the lights.. He was a wonderful man and his family has created a page on facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Loving-Memory-of-...

I guess in the end... both

Are we talking about the steel player, or your husband...?

Multiple replies here... keep um coming ~ Explain yourself mister!! How the heck would you pull that off??? Probably "Sink The Bismarck" . :lol: At first I think he hated me a little after my request... but from what I heard that night he really enjoyed himself... like I said, was just bea...

When I got married I had 2 wishes... I wanted it at sunset I wanted to walk down the aisle to Elvis' Can't Help Falling in Love - on the pedal steel. The steel player in the band probably thought I was a nutcase but he gave in and learned it for me and to this day it's one of the most beautiful rend...

Im sorry...

I thought country music was about trucks, girls in tight jeans and beer??? I don't see where these are included in any of those listed!!

*runs off laughing*

I have nothing to do with the industry Leo.. I moved mom here 3 years ago and I take care of her and run a bookkeeping service... I lead a very quiet life - just miles from many I used to call friends - completely and totally... anonymously. Most of my friends would be AMAZED at the life I once lead...

Peter those were my days as the one lighting up the stage Wed-Sat nights... For some reason I wanna say the steel players first name was Pete, short guy, quiet, sweet... everytime I think of those days I remember Doug and his fiddle - damn he could play that thing. The final "Riders" for m...

I'm not sure whats next for 30 Music Square or Music Row itself...the fact is, it hasn't felt like Music Row for a while. More and more houses that used to have signs outside welcoming visitors and fans to various artists offices... production companies... management venues - are being torn down rep...

Even if it was true...

still 50/50 he just shines the show and goes fishing

I hope the new owners find a way to do what they want and save the studio... one reason I moved here was because Nashville preserved it's past while modifying and updating to make room for progress.. that is becoming less and less of a priority and it breaks my heart.

I blame Mutt Lange.. he started a lot of that in country music with Shania.. Also.. you cant perfect and tweak a voice on stage like you can in the studio (stand near the stage monitor sometime at a Brooks and Dunn show and you'll have a whole new appreciation for Ronnie)~ so they cheat... also help...

I remember his first appearance on the ACMs... he had to do 1:30 of Amarillo by Morning as he walked across the stage.. a near impossible feat and it took a long time to get that footage. So long, my best friend who was watching rehearsals sang it to me back at the hotel that night verbatim, over an...

There is a guy here in Nashville.. he was homeless actually and was playing his music down on Broadway, some people from Sweden heard him, liked him so recorded him and put in up on youtube.. and the story snowballed from there.. articles, interviews and now he's actually touring Europe.. http://www...

Todays "country" music is noting more than what was referred to as top 40 in the 70's... I listened to and worked for KGBS/KTNQ from 76-80 as my day job and what I'm hearing now.. sounds a LOT more like the am pop side and nothing like the fm country side! Breaks my moms heart listening to...

I have wonderful memories of the Pal... First there was date nights with dad... him drinking coffee and Tommy loading me up with dinner and cokes all night. Later of course I did the lighting there several nights a week.. the "cowboy" craze brought on by Urban Cowboy brought in some strang...

Guten Abend Herr Kettner ~ you are now a hero, my mother will very much enjoy this vhs. Please let me assist in payment for your kindness and thoughtfulness! Have a blessed day and my many heartfelt thanks again. Guten Tag Frau Boyd. I've just ordered the last VHS- casette of the film, that was avai...

not to be confused with that 'other' history changer, 'achey-breaky heart'! Funny story about that song... as it was being played everywhere to the point many wanted to see Billy Ray tossed off a building somewhere... my friend Ginger and I sat in a restaurant/bar on the beach in Santa Monica havin...

How silly of my to not notice you are in Germany.. Guten tag!! You don't happen to have any information on this Wolfang Richter that made the film do you? I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it, we heard much about it just after daddy died but never got a finished product and I'd like to se...

I loved watching Steele at work though the fact he thought people knew of he was listening and cranking the volume to 100+ blew my ears... I still have pics of those days. Remember signing the confidential agreement before KISS came to be guest DJs ~ even have MONGOs last will and testament. I prefe...

Wow, I love the picture and have saved it, thank you! Radio Star was a program they were putting together around the time my dad died. I know they contacted us several times. Dad was quite popular with his German fans :) after he passed I got a very nice letter from one with a tape of one of daddy's...

if so, he's still a wonderful drummer and person.

I remmebered it.. Steve Duncan... brain doesnt work like it used to!

Yes, I was on the radio at LAVC as well.. as Brandy Somers, also served as the Attorney General in the Student Government. Let me get something straight, my dad was not a musician or a singer, that was a different Bill Boyd. My dad was a DJ and Producer. Don't wanna be confusing the two and giving h...
