The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey Tiny! We do go back a long way. I just started a project with Rick Mullen just last week and we were talking about you... smiles on both our faces. Ben, I miss hanging out with you and of course, playing with you. Ray... looking forward to next time (and the bear hasn't been here for over a week...

Thanks Mark. I really enjoy playing with them. I'll be with them again tomorrow 8/10 in High Fall at the Cafe.

It was great to have you over again. Ray. We always have a good time and get some work done, too! Fooch

If John De Maille is going...then I'm going!

If it's the show at the Merry Go Round Playhouse, it should be Skip Krevins on steel. He called me to fill in for one date on the show, but I had a conflict and couldn't take it. He's an excellent steel player (and guitar player) from Long Island, NY and experienced with the show. The actress playin...

Congratulations on your well deserved induction to the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame! Thanks for signing the steel show poster for me. Our friend, David Kraai, gave it to me last week at a gig, and it put a smile on my face.

I would certainly be interested and do my best to be there. I had a great time last time!

edited to remove double post.

I double on fiddle and steel (Thank you, John for your kind words). It has helped me make things work as a full time player from my base in Woodstock, NY and has given me the opportunity to play steel with some of my favorite fiddle players and vise versa. Certainly, playing fiddle in the back up ba...

What a handsome fellow

Have a safe trip Mike. It will be good to see you again.

Just a couple of days to go. I am pleased and honored to play fiddle as part of the back up band again this year, and playing with some of my old, and new friends.

I just measured my LTD 400, bought new in 1978. It weighs 50lbs with the stock 15" speaker, marked only Peavey Black Widow. The dimensions are 20" high x 20" wide by 11" deep on the bottom. The top is only 9 1/2" deep so the speaker baffle is slanted and the speaker aims up ...

Mike, I'm looking forward to seeing you again and hearing your set. I haven't seen Matt for several years and he'll be a treat as well. He's someone who takes his music seriously, with a great sense of humor! It should be a fine show again this year with it's great lineup, but we sure will miss Herb...

John is both an excellent player and steel technician! I bought my Zum from him around 1995 and it was set up just right. A few years ago he adjusted it and it felt like velvet again, after many gigs. His playing, both traditional and "out of the box" is just superb. I'm very happy that we...

Beautiful guitar John! I hope I get to see and hear it before too long.

So, my list of things to prepare for this year's PSGA show are growing... get my bow rehaired find my red shirt that won't show tomato stains (for Howard) practice my Tommy Jackson licks give Jeff DeMaio a couple of bucks to set things up so Russ is on my side of the stage for at least one of the tw...

I just got #4 from Steve as well. These tracks are right in the pocket, and the playing is great. Thanks Steve!

It was really a good time. I got to see some old friends and make some new ones, and the music was great. Andy did a great job putting it on, and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Fooch

I'll be there. Only an hour from Woodstock! Looks like I'll get to see some good friends as well.

I live in Woodstock , NY about 10 miles from Kingston. If I can be of any help to your friend, I would enjoy meeting him. Having him contact John Widgren is a fine suggestion. I don't know of anyone closer or more helpful than John. I'll PM my contact info to you. Tom, I don't think I ever thanked y...

Sorry Doug,

I didn't see your reply when I posted the previous message.

I started playing with the backup band guys in May of '79 so it was before that date. I know I wouldn't have missed it if I had known about it.

Doug, you were missed in Norwalk this past November show!

Fooch

I believe the year of this show would have been 1978 (possibly 1977 or early 79) and it was put on by Harry Guffee and probably in or near Meriden, CT. The backup band was the Harmony Grits Band which I joined after this show sometime in 1979, a band later which split to form the Dixie Doughboys. It...

Isn't that what Keith Tuners are for

Fooch

Ed, I guess I left myself open for that one See you in Norwalk!

Stu, I wouldn't begin to suggest how to handle the cold in Alaska, you must have it figured out by now.
