Hey Frank,
Chris Heinrich here, we hung out a bit when I lived in P cola. Hope you're well. CH

I think he's a great player, I just wish he had better songs. In my experience, the late night talk shows sound vastly different broadcast than when you play them. I think they have to mix for the airwaves. CH

Jim- I saw him at willie's picnic, and no steel. Helluva band, though. The songs were pretty weak, I thought, films were much better.

Hey Ed, that may have been a bit harsh on my part. My main complaint was that the guitar was late, and I had to do a tour without it. It made me look bad, and that's no good in this business. Sorry to sound like a jerk. Get somebody to help you so you can follow up on your delivery times. Sorry agai...

Ricky, you genius. And to think I can see you play at Ego's whenever I want. Spoiled. CH

After having bought a POS guitar from this guy at an inflated price that arrived a month late, I'd say don't do business with him. Sorry to be brutal but....CH

That's awesome, Emmett. It's the style I really want to learn. Do you usually play/harmonize the horn parts, or do you ever try the violin parts? I've played "ring of fire" a bunch on steel, and those simple lines are such a joy to play. I might be in spain Novemberish with Preston School ...

Hey Nathan,
I live in Austin too, guess I need to up date my thingy. CH

Other than good ole Paul Neihaus with Calexico, does anyone else play steel in the genre, and is it done traditionally? Seems to me the two sounds are a natural fit. CH

Thanks Mike,
Now I have a Pro 1, so no excuses any more. You wouldn't want to play a Zum in that ramshackle outfit anyhow.

It's kinda funky how it all gets squished with the FM thing. I was playing a student guitar on morning becomes eclectic, by god, it sounded baaaad. You just can't tune some things. CH

Started at 21, I'm 24 now. I couldn't be happier. It's taken me all over the states and Europe, AND the chicks dig it.

Hey Bob,
The Hem stuff sounds great. I got a copy of the Doodars record from Justin A., and man, that is some wicked playing you are doing on there. The steel sounds great juxtaposed against those salsa beats and every thing else. Helluva sound. CH

Lambchop is not only a great band, but super sweet fellas, taboot. I learned to play steel on tour and Paul helped me out in Europe every time I saw him. He also plays with Calexico, a superb outfit out of Tuscon, as well as on John Stirratt's (Wilco) project The Autumn Defense. Can't say enough nic...

Hey Dyke,
I'm playing with the support act, Preston School of Industry, But up untila few years ago Bob Egan was the steelman. He's real good, too. I'll send this other steve to ya. CH

Hey thanks fellas for the info. Dyke I wonder if you know an English professor/song writer in Urbana by the name of Steve. I can't remember his last name, but he and I have been having alot of weird coincidences, so I wouldn't be surprised if you did. If not I'll send him in. Jay B. is what we call ...

Thanks guys. I'll be passing through on the 18th, but I'm playing on the 2nd and 3rd at the Riviera with Preston School of industry, supporting Wilco, which I'm very excited about. If any of you Nashville types would like to see a punk kid hack the steel, we'll be at the Uptown Mix on the 24th, agai...

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew a good steel shop in Chicago. I'm touring and I need to restock my supplies. Any help greatly appreciated. CH

Thanks guys,
I'm on my way. CH

Hey all!
I'm on the road, headed to Denver, and I need to buy a new volume pedal before tomorrow night. I f any body could help me with this, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks. CH

If Mr Cole happens to read this, Id like to apologize for being out of tune during the Jim White concert at Dingwalls earlier this year, I am a novice , yea, but I sound alot better on my new guitar(I hope). CH
