The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi Robert would you post to Australia for the Tom Brumley set?
I'm happy to pay extra for postage

Great music and very talented on the steel.
Thanks for sharing I am going to look into more of Johnny Paychecks music of that era.

Looks like a great course.... I am tempted to do it as well. Thanks for the information about it!
I was looking for the Don Helm's Hank Williams songbook and found this instead

What a wonderful guitar. It would also sound as good as it looks too.
As quoted by others on the forum Anapeg's are the Rolls Royce of pedal steels.
Good luck with the sale! It is definitely worth the money!

She was a great singer. Luckily her music will remain with us forever.
RIP Tina

RIP Bobby Henderson.
Love the music on SBN it has so much soul.
I saw the tribute by Jimmy Swaggart on YouTube just now which was nice.
I'm sure that they will miss his awesome musicianship.

Thanks for sharing that.
I had not heard Belafonte's version of the song.
It is totally different to the original but he makes a new song out of it!

RIP Gordon Lightfoot. Love his music.
Might put a record of his on now.
One of my favourites is Old Dan's Records but he had so many great songs

What a tremendous legacy Harry Belafonte has left behind.
I was very impressed with his efforts in the civil rights movement.
He bailed out of jail many protesters in the 1960s.
RIP Harry Belafonte.

I can't see anything online about him passing away.
There is nothing on his website about it.
I will send a couple of messages to some steelies that know him tomorrow morning.
I met him once in Australia in 2014. He is a great guy

Thanks for sharing the great photos.
I almost feel like I was there too!
Could put some faces to the names on the forum as well
Great to see Roy Rosetta was honoured and remembered too with entry into the Hall of Fame.

A friend of mine gave me one of his CDs The Essential Doc Watson I've been listening to it in the car for the last couple of years. Whenever someone mentions favourite music I always mention Doc now. Such a great musician. I feel fortunate to have even heard his music. I like that he was not just gr...

Thank you Shoshana for sharing your memories of your Dad with us on the forum.
He was a very special man.

Just saw the sad news on Facebook. Really shocked me. RIP bOb I wish that I had have known him better and lived on the same continent! I think he sent me one or 2 emails when I offered to be a moderator. I am just really starting my pedal steel journey but I know that bOb has created something speci...

RIP David Lindley
Loved his solo's on the Jackson Browne albums.
I also believe that he played some of the solos on a couple of Australian singer Jimmy Barnes' songs.
Driving Wheels and Working Class Man.
Haven't listened to his El Rayo stuff, will have to get onto that

RIP Wayne Shorter Saw his quartet at the Sydney Opera House on his 2010 tour to Australia. Will never forget his performance that night. Been a Weather Report fan for a long time too. If you haven't checked out his Montreux Jazz festival performance from the 1980s with Santana I highly recommend it ...

I'm not sure how I found out about this, maybe on this forum somewhere. Maybe regarding the guy Petey who passed away recently who worked as a courier for this business. But if you like guitars you should check them out on YouTube. Awesome guitars, information and playing all for free and special gu...

RIP Petey. He will be missed by all his friends and colleagues.
Thanks for sharing the tributes

RIP David and thanks for the music.
Saw him at Bluesfest about 12 years ago and theyl put on a good show.
Surprised to hear of his passing

RIP Jeff Beck Saw him a couple of times in concert in Australia about 12 years ago. Great guitarist. Awesome band too. Vinnie Colaiuta, David Sanford, Tal Wilkenfeld. I love the album Guitar Shop of his which is pretty much all instrumental. Have been a fan of his for years. My mum is a fan too she ...

Wow that's big news! Happy retirement bOb! Thanks for setting up such a great site for all the steelies. I hope that this site continues for ever. I think people will still be talking about bOb in a century. You should receive a special award for all you have done. This site is probably the greatest...

A country music school... That is such a great idea!
Wish I could have gone to one!!

RIP Fred
A legend and a great guitar maker.
People even play his guitars in Australia and they sound fantastic.
He will be missed from the forum.
Another good one gone home too soon

RIP Stu
I just saw this now.
I used to enjoy his posts. I never met him, but once you read forum members posts you feel like you know them a bit.
Condolences to his family and friends

Thanks for sharing this great video tribute.
I love his music. It sounds like Robert Randolph learnt a few things off him.
RIP Tim sad to see another sacred steeler leaving this earth at a young age
