The Steel Guitar Forum

When things really settle down for you, don't look back and say "Could'a Should'a Didn't" Say "Could'a Should'and DID". I did just that and never regretted it.

Well Country as it should be sung & played. Not like the "so called Country" that is being slithered out now. AND at a live concert back then, not a person jumping up and down like their shorts are too tight.

I knew her and Mooney long before she was ever in the limelight.I had a call on Wed. from a fellow who is doing a book and that sure brought my aging brain going. Some great and some (Hmmmmmm). but great times were had. That steel player in the photo is Roland Smiley her "original" steel p...

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day.### I.M.H.O. hearing your mistakes and then trying to rectify them is the way to go.

Awwwwww C'mon. The post has to be a Bust.

I had a FingerTip for more years, and put on more miles on it than I care to admit to. Just One Great Old Axe. Last I heard it was in California.

I knew and worked with Roy as the Fraser River Boys in the early 50's on C.K.N.W., New Westminster. Have stayed in contact and visited him and his wife in Pinchee Creek, Alberta a few years ago. SAD TO HEAR ! ! ! ! !

Pleasant, pleasant voice. Had not heard of her before but found a lot by Googling her name.

Wow. Didn’t know the pictures were posted. Maybe Bill Gates and I are working together.

I have 2 pictures but I'm no Bill Gates on computers and don't know how to post them in the appropriate spot.

Thanks. Mine is slightly different on the top left and doesn’t look chipped.

I have a Lone Star (1975 Bergamot Brass Works) belt buckle that I no longer need. I have no idea what it is worth and I’m sure bob will not want an auction on our site. Any idea what it is worth or if anyone needs it ???

We got into the habit of using names C= Charlie. Bflat= Bravo-flat, E=Echo. Worked every time.

What is your number of times played for one couples anniversary ???
I played for the wedding then 25th, 50th twice (one in Yuma and the second in West Kelowna and the 60th in West Kelowna.

That really is a long time back. Muriel and her sister Shiela who replaced har when Muriel married both died from cancer. A number of years back. John Ott on bass is now an ordained Minister in Oregon.

Late 40’s. 6 string acoustic

He could be outspoken for sure. I talked to him on his break at a venue in Washington State. He was really "ticked off" with the "Name" who he was backing because the "Name's" guitar wasn't in proper tune. And believe me he was really "ticked off" with languag...

With my T.V. account (Telus) here in B.C. I have a Optic T.V. add on that enables me to type in a search. Just did one for Curly Chalker and have a long list of listening. Listening to some great work as I type this.

There was a post of wanting to know what I wanted for it. I have no idea what it is worth. I’m not out to make a big buck on it, I just don’t have any use for it

No. I have one that I no longer need or want. It is missing the chord though.

Get a hold of me as it’s of no use to me now.

I still have a Octaver / OC2 if anyone is interested. The attachment chord is missing and since I have sold all my equipment this is something I just found that didn’t go before.

While I was playing in Hawaii Iin the early 60’s I had a steel made for my own wants, I had them use polished stainless steel 3 1/2” long. 1” inch thick and a 5/8 “ hole drilled 3” deep. I used that steel till I quit playing about 5 years ago.. No rust, nicks in all those years.

I was fortunate to get to know Ray in “our” elderly years. Had many a good visit and “telling lies” between the two of us.
