The Steel Guitar Forum

I have a friend who is looking for a Jeff Newman publication, "Music To Get C6 By". Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not it's still available. Thanks.

Thanks Ron...I rec'd your message and sent a reply.

Thanks so much Doug! I wasn't aware it might be available on Amazon. I've placed the order but it looked like they might be out of stock. But, oh well, time will tell I guess.
Thanks again.

Thanks Lee.

Thx Larry! That's kind of a nice way to bring the issue to someone's attention.

Thank guys! I appreciate your responses to this topic.

Jerry--The company selling the "Cassette To Digital Converter" is Hammacher Schlemmer and their website is: hammacher.com.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story...wish I could have been there with you!

The brand name is NAXA and the cost was around $60. The unit is exactly like the black cassette recorders we all used back in the day except they've added a USB port to transfer the data. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks so much for your quick response, Jerry! Altho' I have all the Swing Shift CD's, I overlooked it. :( You mentioned plans to convert your cassette tapes to CD's. I had a bunch of cassettes that contained years of steel guitar licks that I wanted to move to my computer. I found a cassette/record...

Recently, while listening to Alexa play recordings by Ray Pennington and Buddy Emmons, a song came up in the mix for which I cannot find the title. I thought the title would be a line which occurred several times in the song, i.e., "They wouldn't have it any other way." However, tried usin...

hey Greg,
I'm possibly interested in buying your 8-string Sierra lap steel. Can you provide any background regarding it's history, who owned it, are there any defects, etc.?

A friend requested me to post on the Forum asking whether anyone has a schematic for the Goodrich LDR volume pedal. In the past someone performed faulty maintenance on his pedal making it unusable. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

What is your asking price?

Sorry… Just saw it in your subject line.
