The Steel Guitar Forum

It might just be me,but I think Mr.Emmons could play through a Gorilla bass amp and it still would sound good! I believe it's in his hands!

If any one listened to Eddie Stubbs last night ,he had Johnny Bush as a guest.Johnny made a good statement about new artists and how the sound is not the same as it used to be.(As we all know!!!!) He more or less stated that,It's more or less the young PRODUCERS that are creating the non-country sou...

I feel lucky that I got to perform with Curly Seckler at a bluegrass show in Etowah,TN and then listen to Buddy on the way home. It sure made my day perfect!!! (Curly was an original Foggy Mtn Boy)

I play bass as well as PSG,and the jazz quartet I play with was given a chart to play by the brides mother at a wedding gig we had a few years ago.This THING she wanted to hear was called "The Abba Dabba Honeymoon". All of the guests were singing this thing. Everything mentioned in this po...

On the WSM Online website,it clearly states;"Committed to Country! Always have been,Always will be".If the dumb#$$es at Gaylord make their changes,could we as country music fans bring up a law suit? I hope there is enough support for WSM's country format because, I think if it happens, cou...

I started getting interested in playing music by listening to my grandfather talk about his "nightclub"days.(He owned the old Wagon Wheel in Nashville. He also played sax....this was in the late '30s) My dad also plays music and was lucky enough to be an usher/vender at the Opry in the mid...

I'm sorry,I probably should have put this topic under Steel Players.

While I struggled through listening to the CMA awards,I was in awe of a steeler in a band ( I can't remember who he was playing behind;or even if he was actually playing!)that was "dancing",so to speak,sitting behind his guitar! I can only speak for my self by saying I sit cold still while...

Back in the '60s,the Osborne Bros. used steel alot (Hal Rugg).That was part of their "signature sound". Remember that Rocky Top had steel all throughout.(A #1 bluegrass song in my part of the woods!)I understand that Sonny is a closet steeler.Check out the "Rubeeeeeeee" album.An ...

The way things are going,she could be on CMT!

What is wrong with being feminine? I personally don't see what the problem could be? I think Bobbe is a smart business man.

He does have good taste in co-pilots!!! Look at his new site.P.S. I suddenly have the urge to drive 2hrs to get a pack of strings!!!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by GORDY NICHOL on 31 August 2001 at 03:44 PM.]</p></FONT>

Thanks,I didn't think there was a site for this!

I know this has probably been covered before,but I want to know what it takes to get in the HOF. IMO,for what its worth,It's what you have acomplished for the furtherance and preservation of the instrument itself. ( This is taking for granted that the inductee is a pro player or at least some one in...

Not only is Herby a great player,but a great teacher as well! I owe my progress to him. Correct me if I'm wrong,but didn't he have the first "Mass produced" tab instruction for Emmons Guitar back in the '60,s?

In my view,it is not the change of the music the Nashville people want as much as to obtain the all important " Kid Dollars". CMT is showing this this to us,not only by the obvious MTV style open forum show with the "Element Chart" initials and "Spinning Tinkertoys"!I k...

PSG is alive,as long as it's heard! We can expect people to be curious about it as long as it is being played in some type of format. I would rather hear more "In your Face" steel (ie.Dwight's "What do you know about love?)but "fills & pads" at least keep it in there! I ...

" Money! All I care about is Mo-Mo-Mo-MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Herby Wallace is my instructor and he will be glad to get you started on a PSG course with no prior experience needed! His courses are designed to get you going in a short amount of time. Good Luck and welcome aboard! ( His # is 865-453-7476)

I don't think it really matters what Cagle thinks as much as what his producer thinks!Those cats call the shots!

What we need for the masses is another Ricky Skaggs! Somebody that has respect for the standards and the drive to change things.Maybe Brad Paisley could do this for the young crowd as well as for the trad.lovers of country music.Twang with steel is country ; twang by itself is twang.

"Don't Leave Your Records in the Sun" is one of my favorite J.H. songs. He is a true entertainer and people could learn a lot from him. I know I have. My prayers to him and his family.

Ya'll would not expect something as small as breaking the law and threatening a police officer to upset the career of Mr.& Mrs.Perfect-Country Music???????????

I was born in Nashville,and always looked forward to visiting my grandparents and aunts and uncles on holidays. My grandparents lived on Franklin Rd.not far from Harding Place. I remember the Music City tour buses would drive by as my dad and I walked in my grandparents frontyard .We would wave at t...

I saw him here in CHA once . A good entertainer and songwriter,well known in the bluegrass community . He will be sadly missed.
