The Steel Guitar Forum

I agree completely. Ms. McCready has her own matters to take care of and the law needs to take care of her attacker so this does not happen again -- either to her or someone else. I understand her case was on Court TV, but it was during the day and I missed it. Her attacker was appearing in court (h...

This is not a good situation. I too hope that somehow this guy gets treatment and cools off. It is my understanding that he had strangled her into unconsciousness and left her for dead. The only reason she is alive is because he thought she was dead. Sad.

Welcome Rick! I would LOVE to get to try one of the Steel King amps! I afraid to even ask about the $$$ (besides I busted the budget long ago on other steel toys).

Hi Edward! Welcome to the Forum. I have found many answers to questions here, and always get a helping hand from fellow members. It is good to see new musicians take up this wonderful instrument.

650 Honda Nighthawk, dated 1984. Aspire to get a Harley or Goldwing -- getting old! Need a better (smoother) ride.

I have one victim (male) whose wife stalked him from the safe house and killed him. There is no stopping some folks when they become obsessed and take the "If I can't have you, nobody will" stance. Mindy is lucky she is alive, and I wish her well.

My 1st career was in Law Enf. My former fiance (NOT my husband now of 12 years,he's an ANGEL)...used to periodically drink but I didn't think it to be excessive. He was a Lieutenant on a Police Dept of 1,200 officers. After four years together he one day turned on me in a drunken rage and I am lucky...

Warm my heart with her lyrics? No, not exactly...but her vocal tones are MUCH better on the ballad and "Homewrecker" -- I won't miss the screech sound if I never hear it again...choice of lyrics is a whole other topic and I ain't openin' that can of worms, it's a much better world with the...

My 2 cents worth. Jo Dee is GREAT -- have seen her in person with George Strait and she has a great voice and stage presence and she took over drums and did one heck of a drum solo. I like Gretchen too -- but not until she sang something with some HEART! I just think "Redneck Woman" and &q...

Hmmm...distasteful (questionable)...funny as all get out (YES)...thought provoking...most definitely. Mine, (recent activites considered)...she IMPLODED.

Hi George, glad you joined the Forum! One thing's for sure...I have never sought an answer to a steel guitar question and not found some very good answers here, and there are so many thoughtful and considerate fellow members that I can't imagine these pages not existing. Enjoy

I always liken the process to that of beginning to wear contact lenses...you have to REALLY want them

Ok, I get it...some of us can sing, some of us think we can, some of us know we can't. But who out there can DANCE? I'm not being funny here...I've just noticed over say the last 30 years that a whole bunch of pickers can't dance a lick! Uh-oh...did I start something???

Bad news Gary...I know who has the 900 cards and he still gets jobs...no talent is needed; just be able to read us a song...

Hey Gary, you took the words right out of my mouth...I was gonna say I remembered him with Oscar Shields; the band where if your pant size is 32/34 waist, you got the gig :-) Didn't matter what or how you played, long as those black slacks fit. As I recall, Tommy never did wear them, and found himse...

Speaking of which, where was Shania's steel player? I didn't spot him -- did I just miss him or was he excused for the day because there had to be such quick changes between bands? Just curious.

My husband and I were privileged to be at the Andy Griggs & Brad Paisley show in Fairfax VA tonite. Both artists had excellent bands -- both with steel guitarists, Chad Udeen and Randall Curry. What a breath of fresh air! Both guys were great pickers each with an awesome sound all their own. The...

Happy Birthday Reece, hope you are well and will have a very special day, best wishes for the holiday season too.
Jo Ann & Mark

We had a blast! Thank you for all the work that you did to make this event happen and pulling together all the players and a place to hold the "jam." I'd say for your 1st Rodeo, you're an "8"! I know that you must be SO worn out! But it was all worth it, and I wish we could do it...

Hey Dave, nice job on the website. I enjoyed looking through the guys & gals and the steelers and guitarists...not surprised to see Jimi Hendrix in there! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif My tele-man calls you the Hendrix of the steel guitar! Those smart whippersnapper guitar players--who d...

I can't wait...this is worse than Christmas I feel like a little kid!

Hey Bob! So sorry I was not up to traveling to the Mountain City jam. I was not a happy camper missing that event and look forward to maybe being there next year. Very happy to finally get to meet you -- I know how special you are to Mark, and I too look forward to hearing you play. Uh...Boo...I get...

Dear Boo and all -- sorry I've been late in answering up about the jam! I will definitely be there with bells on, but can't be there until Sunday. We have a job on Saturday that will take up most of the day, so we can't be there Saturday, but Sunday is a definite. My husband and MUCH better half (Ma...

I went to see a friend who was touring with a National act playing steel. I was so disappointed to see him sit behind his mid-60's model Emmons D-10 which he plays beautifully and pull out a harmonica worth $10.00 and play it pitifully. I could feel his humiliation from out in the crowd. It did not ...
