Marian, I did not remember that THP was on everyday. Of course I only got to see it once a week, after my dad's show. I remember that I took a friend with me one day, who was trying to learn how to play guitar, and he and Merle struck up a conversation. Merle offered to give him lessons, which he di...

Marian, You can help me solve a mystery. In about 1953 or '54 My dad sponsored a show on a local tv station in L.A. I used to go to the studio with him because I wanted to stick around for the county music show that came on right after his show. This country music show was a non-audience show, so it...

Count me in. Any one handed activity I do left handed, any two handed activity I do right handed...Steel, baseball (bat right, throw left), golf. Eating..either way. Writing...poor in any hand.

I'll be in Columbus, GA May 6th - 14th. Anyone know of some good live country with steel in Columbus during that time frame?

This is a dumb question from someone too lazy to dig. My system is running Windows XP. When I do a "ctrl-alt-delete" it shows that I have some 38 or 39 processes running. Some of them I recognize, but there are a lot I have no clue what they are doing. Short of turning them off, one or two...

I have two standard Poodles who love to lay under the piano whenever my wife is playing. They love to lay under the piano whenever I am playing the steel. Since the piano and steel are in seperate parts of the house, that must say something about my playing. ------------------ Allen Harry Zum SD10 N...

Sounds like a great gig.
For us Colorado folks, where will you be playing/working?

After hearing so many good things about the NV112 I was wondering if anyone has done a direct comparison with the NV1000, other then weight.
Would you trade in your NV1000 for a NV112?

Sort of like Jack... Eight years (1956-1964) Air Force, fighter crew chief. Another 25 years with the Dept. of Defense. Was very close to the warfighters and special ops folks. Very proud of my 33 years of Defense work and glad to have made a contribution to our nations defense. I am extremely proud...

I believe that this is Alan Jackson's latest CD. The steel players are Paul Franklin and Lloyd Green on cuts 1 -11, and Robbie Flint on cut 12. What I would like to know is what cuts Mr. Franklin played on and what cuts Mr. Green played on. #1-Too Much of A Good Thing #2-Rainy Day In June #3-USA Tod...

That's easy for me. Merle Travis Joe Maphis Marion Hammer (sp?) Speedy West Since I got to hang out with them in the mid 50's, they got me to love country music and the steel guitar. I was a snot-nosed early teenager when I got to hang out at their TV and live shows. My dad was a tv sponsor and anno...

Looking for Karlis Abolins... The version of Guitar Map that I have is v1.1.0. Is there a newer version? I am having problems with the program crashing. Get a "run time error" and when I go to dismiss the message, the program quits. ------------------ Allen Harry Zum SD10 Nashville 1000

Sounds great in Colorado. Beats the heck out of our CMA Station of the Year, KYGO and its country rock.

I will date myself with this post. I used to be into drag racing big time. The group I was with, "Clockers" of Hawthorne, CA., had the very first fuel dragster to break 140 mph in the quarter. A fellow named Jim Kambor was the engineer and money behind the effort. Nitro was $50 a gallon. W...

I have read great things on the 112. Wish it had been around when I bought my 1000 (which I love). My question is: would it make sense to sell my 1000, or trade it for a 112? I never play out. The psg is for my own enjoyment. My 1000 has never left my study/music room in the two years I have owned i...

Seems there are lots of threads related to other hobbies/activities. Thought I would start one on clay target shooting. I have been a competitive shooter since 1954. Started in rifle (smallbore)then high power. Shot full time for six of the eight years I was in the USAF. I have been shooting Skeet s...

Air Force crew chief on T-33, F-86, F-100.
Started on my private license in 1963. Rated for Single Engine and Gliders.
Loved the soaring and used the SEL mostly for business trips.
I have not flown for 12 years, so guess I am done with it.

If the creek don't rise, I'll be there. I don't get down to AZ but about once a year, so this seems like the right time. Now I have to work all of the events I want to attend into that one weekend..

Larry, I have loved the steel since I was a teenager but never took the time to do anything with that love. I retired in 2000, at age 62, and the steel was the first post retirement activity I started. I have never regreted that move. I will always be a "beginner" and enjoying it. --------...

Other than PSG.....Fly fishing (check out our web "www.anglersall.com"), Sporting Clays and Skeet shooting, Olympic Shooting (official and sometimes coach), Astronomy, Ham Radio..K0AWH, playing with my two standard poodles. Enjoying retirement!! ------------------ Allen Harry Zum SD10 Nash...
