The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for your input Tom I really liked the feel of the magnum so much easier on my legs and feet and Gene your response was helpful on parts, that was another concern. Been stuck playing non-pedal for a while due to pain.

I'am thinking about buying a used magnum. getting hard to lug the old MSA around. I like the weight, I tuned and played C6th neck I liked it but haven't heard of anyone playing one,just looking for feedback. I nearly lost both legs a while back and have nerve damage to legs pedals on it were very sm...

Jim For me the Jazz room at St.Louis was my highlight of the show. Sure miss seeing you, Mike, Dave, Dan, among others. As a player that got hooked in early 70's (Rusty Young) I was much more open to other styles. Found out that back neck was a lot of fun and not for resting on.

felt lost all weekend, missing trip to St. Louis meeting friends and seeing people only see once a yr. Scott family you can be proud of what Scotty did, I hope someday you can restart but I would understand if you didn't God Bless

So sad to hear, I always looked forward Labor day wk. end just for the convention. I hope nothing but the best for the Scott family. I learned so much other players and made many friends over the 10 yrs. I have been. rest in peace Scotty

I posted last year about getting more people interested in steel, that many only think that steel is country only. I was asked to sing with a group of old rockers that do 60's 70s' rock with songs changed to Christian lyrics. Was told my steels weren't welcome, that they didn't want country sound. W...

Love it !! Got to add it to my collection I like to sit down in pick on my laps in living room every evening to relax instead of playing one of my pedals. Price isn't all that bad I've wasted a lot more on use-less effect pedals. Lot easier to run from wife with lap than with 50 lbs. of pedal, well ...

So cool Jim, Rusty got me started in early 70's Was awesome last year to be there for kind woman, had to miss this year for trip to see grandson in army at Fort Benning family days. Jr. Brown got him interested about 3yrs.ago. Had to give him my old rick8 to play. Played 6 string for years then brok...

I think that is a problem with not having a separate room to play different genres of music. My first yr I got bored with main stage and went to jazz room I got hooked. I was unable to attend this year my grandson went into army and this weekend was family open house at Fort Bennning Ga. I was asked...

Those who stir the s---- should have to lick the spoon!! Really jazz got my c6 neck cleaned. Wow what a statement about one of the best players and gentleman

MIKE you and your wonderful wife are great. You were great on stage. Hope to see you again next year. I hear you play daily, anytime with the wife in her car(mister man in the moon) her favorite. Theresa is quite the salesperson. Get's played a lot in our dealership and always great comments from yo...

Jim great thoughts seminars and small contests would be great. I hope no one took offense from my earlier comments. Just concerns, I want it to be there always, I'am already thinking about next year hope to see you there next year love asking questions about making different sounds loved talking wit...

Just some thoughts I enjoyed all players only wished I could every be as good, congrats to all inducted to hall of fame. Just making observations of the traffic in the hallways or lack of it. I will continue to support and try to encourage local fellow players to attend. I think keeping steel fresh ...

Thanks for the photos of junior,he is awesome in concert caught him in Carmel In. last winter. My grandson started playing after hearing him at hunert car pile-up Had to loan him my old rick8 taught him highway patrol. Now all of his friends are steel fans. Way to go SCOTTY!!!

Jim I really missed you being there this year I love your sets in jazz room. My prayers are with your family. See you next year

I messed up, missed junior brown, left early sat evening after mike Sweeney's set and break would loved to hear Sarah joy on the power slide. it's one of my favorite guitars and fun to play. I know I heard so many snob players call it junk, but in the hands of a master, that i'am not, But for the pr...

I was really sadden by the lack of attendance. The lack of vendors was a big disappointment. I came with intentions to buy some big $$ items. My own business has been in dumps since 2007. This has been a good year so far. I think that we are seeing what my other hobby (street rods) going through wit...
