The Steel Guitar Forum

I missed the first showing of Robert Randolph on Austin City Limits..But so much had been said about him..I did not want to miss the rerun. All I saw was Showmanship, Great Steel Playing (unbelieveable)..and something no one else has done...Pure Engery..I am a fan

People talk about who is the best. For my money nothing would ever kept me away from seeing Jay Dee or Lloyed Green. These are the two I compare all others.

Now thats what I call an AX

This is just a side note. Got to open for the Brozos Valley Boys twice...Lord knows it was a great time for me back then

There are only two counry songs in my life that hit me HARD. Sunday Morin' Comin Down & He Sopped Loving Her Today. The 3rd one would be "FOR THE GOOD TIMES"

Santo & Johhnny was the beginning for me. years later it was Llyod Green. But I am sure most of the treads already said that.

WALLEYE

Just a side note.Saw Cindy Cashdollar in person Saturday night on Prairie Home Companion..She was great..Did the song Slide Show from her new CD coming out in the fall

I have the Robby Turner CD..and also an oringinal recording of Bob Wills "Twin Guitar Special"..Robby & Reggie Young do the best version of that song I ever heard. I believe it is the left hand that gives the steel guitar it's voice. Other players with a great voice are Lloyd Green (of...

Rick Barber wrote a geart story about his time with Nookie Edwards of the Ventures..I would like to know any updated story you might have about James Burton. Is he still recording? Is he still playing the dobro? is is still the nice guy he always was?

Rick, Wht a nice story..Just great.. Wished more could fill us in on the lives of our past heroes

Mike looks to me as a cross between a ES 175 and a Les paul with bigsby

I saw Marty Robbins & Merle Haggard together one night ..both said each was the idle of the other

The statement was "Boy that Shania is talented".....Yes she is

Donny now i know why you gave up being a front man

The last couple of years the only part of the CMA Awards I watch, is when I'm Surfing by during other program commercals. I do love the Steel Guitar, but I cant stand (so called) country music anymore.

Earle Gardner composer of the song "Misty" was a classic grunter. Sometimes you could hear him over his piano playing.

Jason...Wow!..You nailed it...Thanks Bunch

I remember a song came out in the 60's called "Gently My Love" on Dore Records. Bobby Black played steel..What was the name of that group?

The greatest balladeer & storyteller to me is JOHNNY CASH. I just could never seem to get enough of him.

I dont know if this is of any value to you or not. But I bought a D8 Fender from Ghrun Music (blonde) two years for $850. Too be honset, I thought the price was a might high. Two weeks ago Ghrun sends me a letter say they have a D8 Fender (blonde) for $1250..They will not get go down in price..So if...

Santo & Johnny was my begining. But in the late 60's I was an opening singing act at Gibbon Ballroom in Minnsota.The Opry Stars who were appearing at the Flame Cafe in Minneaplis would play the ballroom on Sunday nights. The Steel man was Tony Farr. I was hooked and had to have a pedal steel gui...

Boys you dont understand. Its aginst doctrine. Everyone knows the fact, its the only string instrument you can set a beer on while playing. Please no piano jokes thats a percussion instrument.

Can Somebody who heard the back to back performances of Jim Cohen & Smiley Roberts, please tell me how it went at the ISGC. I really wanted to hear them. God must know my mind wasnt on Church this morning

You just might get to see the LloydBro when the Dixie Chicks perform on the CBS Saturday Morning Show 8/31/02
