The Steel Guitar Forum

Melinda, As in any aspect of life, it often seems that half of the people that you meet are real jerks. One cool solution that you could surely get away with is to carry a plastic (brightly colored, so that they know it's not real) water pistol. If somebodies rude to you, just give 'em a good squirt...

Wow, could be tempting to sell the farm here and move down there and live like a millionare and be king of the hill to boot.

No doubt about it, Weldon Myrick deffinitely is one of the true greats. I loved that Gary Stewert stuff to, still got that album with "She's Actin' Single". All of Weldon's work is great.

Terry, I called you the other night to try to purchase a subscription via telephone. I caught you on a gig. You weren't able to stay on the line but you were able to tell me that you can not do Visa over the phone. I have not had much luck trying to utilize PayPal. I am planning on sending you a che...

I've been thouroughly enjoying this CD for a couple of years. Got mine from Bruce Heffner, don't think he has anymore. I sure wish that Lloyd Green would release another CD. We need as many Lloyd Green CD's in this world as he can record. His incredible talent needs as much documentation for posteri...

Wow, that's one good looking Fessenden!

I'm waiting for Jerry to get home, then I'm gonna call him about making me another SD-10, an E9 this time.

Hey Jim, I paid him exactly on time... and he delivered exactly on time as well.

I picked up the Dano Reel Echo yesterday for $99 including power adapter. The Solid State/Tube switch does seem useless, as does the Warble switch. But other than that, it's a good echo unit. Simple and easy to operate. I'm using it with my combo amp and I love it. Still trying to get things going s...

I've heard that Lexicon makes units that are cheaper and simpler that my MPX-1, like the MPX-100 and the MPX-200.

But I've also heard that those units are noiser.

What about the Boss Digital Delay pedal?

Does it change the guitars basic tone?

Is it noisey?

Thanks for your help,
HH

Anybody familiar with either of them? Wonder if they'd work well for PSG? Regards, HH wb3jfw...

Another thing, I hear the PSG referred to as the instrument hidden at the back of the stage. While that may be true of some of the big Nashville acts who don't really feature the PSG much anyway, you also don't need to try to turn the PSG into another instrument in order to attract some attention to...

Bruce, You are to be admired for your loyalty to your friend. But it has seemed that, in the past, anyone who didn't get excited about RR, or who even said that they didn't care for what he was doing would get attacked by his fans (including you) for their "negativity". I for one, am not v...

Well, I feel a little vindicated. Remember, I was one of the first on this forum to see through the RR phenomon. I got ripped by the "politically correct' guys for my straight fowardness. Now finally, I'm seeing some other players publically agree. I knew the majority agreed but didn't have eve...

b0b, No, nothing you said b0b. I've been having quality problems. I'm throwing away more poorly burned CD's than shipping out. I've got to get to the bottom of my problem. I'm sending all of my Microboards burners and duplicaters to the manufacturer for service (except for the new one that I bought ...

<B>To All Concerned, At this time I am suspending all further sales of my Rhythm Track CD's and temporarily withdrawling them from the market.</B> All current orders will be filled. <B>The only ones still for sale are in the possession of Jerry Fessenden of the Fessenden Guitar Company. There is a l...

Heard from an Austin buddy that Jr. got dropped by his label. He's always been known to be very determined. He'll be back, you can bet on that. Best of luck to him. Regards, HH<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Harry Hess on 02 January 2003 at 10:41 PM...

What a real drag. When we loose a great player, I try to console myself by at least thinking about how they got to enjoy some big time fun and at least they got to leave their mark in the great tree of American music. God bless Zal.

Donny,

Yeah, I figured that it had to be something like that.

Paul,

That's good to know. Thanks.

A lot of guy's are droping the 4th pedal (1st C6 pedal). I droped raising the lower A string (just like I took it off of my raise and lower knee levers). But I've kep the high A to B change. I think it's really usefull. And sometimes I use it to play something that might have required me to put my r...

Jerry might be a snowbird these days, but he put in his time living in Austin, Texas.

Where ever he may go, I just hope he stays healthy and keeps building those truely great guitars.

HH

I sat and played next to Donny for the last hour of the Sat Maryland jam. His playing and his guitar sounded great. He was kind enough to let me try the new Millenium out afterward. Seeing as all my steels are 2"s higher than normal, I could not fit my legs under it. Also, his pedals and knee l...

Lucky, Great to hear from you. I gotta find that radio show. I wonder when it's on here in the Philly area? When you come home in the spring, please give me a holler and come by to see me and my studio in Blue Bell. You remember Blue Bell, right? Right down the road from your area, isn't it? I still...
