I believe Bill had developed his psg skills enormous since both of your fine suggestions. "Lucky Day" was recorded 1974 which I think is close to the time he put the instrument on the shelf.

Bill Keith

I just listened to the magnificent live album by Jonathan Edwards. "Lucky day". With Bill Keith behind the psg. What an amazing tone and some odd but wonderful way of playing this extremly bright man gave us. He even brings some advanced banjo playing too on this record.

I have a beginners guide with Jeff I got with my old Carter 15 yrs ago.
I didn’t attach it when I sold the guitar 5 years later.

In the 70’s I listened mainly to country-rock and I especially liked Poco’s sound although I didn’t know nothing about pedal-steel. 1976 I was totally hooked on psg as I bought the album Fools Gold by Fogelbergs backing group. I learnt to get used to finger picks by playing the banjo for a yea...

Starting to play with a band and revealing that you are reading music will cause you to lose important contact with your fellow musicians. It is better to find the same musical language to communicate, in much the same way as playing licks that suit their music. They shit in how or what you do, as l...

I can comfort you that in my country Sweden it is exactly the same, if not worse. People are crazy about our national postal service.

I spent 32 years with the USPS and know something about it. Much has been mentioned about it in this thread. Two points. First, the removal of some sorting machines by the USPS was undoubtedly due to their being outdated and no longer financially smart to keep. All businesses must update critical c...

Ake, I recognize Tommy Williams as the fiddle player. He's on the bottom center of the LP cover with Gene O'Neal just behind and slightly left. Sorry, I don't know who any of the other players are.
