The Steel Guitar Forum

Aw! Wish I could've seen that! Hope someone posts a picture! Roy Rosetta is AWESOME and one of the highlights of the convention! As a piano player myself, I REALLY appreciate his talent!

Ok, thanks much!

I go to the convention just as much for the staff band as for the steel players! I am actually a piano player but have been coming to the convention for years. I remember my dad bringing me as a little girl. Great memories - great place for musicians and music lovers of all kinds to gather! Looking ...

Planning on coming to the convention. I'm sure it's on here somewhere but can someone tell me what admission is this year? Just for Saturday.

Thanks!

Planning on making it this year! Looking really forward to it!

Looking forward to coming this year!!!

That guy is a GENIUS!!!!! I laughed and laughed and laughed and replayed that video lots of times! One of the funniest things I've ever seen!

Is your room still available?

Redd Volkaert will be doing a FREE guitar clinic at Corson Music's Guitar Store at 202 W Main in Downtown Urbana, IL starting at 7PM. Then Friday, Oct. 10 he will be playing with Dyke & Chrissy Corson, Jake Tatar, Larry Lister, and Howie Golub at Radmakers in Tolono. Sunday night Oct. 12 the sam...

Buddy Emmons and his playing is MAGICAL. Nothing and no one compares.

Thanks for that, Bobbe. I knew Ken Mellons wasn't all that bad - he was wearing a black Sho-Bud T-shirt! Lucky you for having such a great employee - lucky him for having such a great place to work! Danny and the band sounded great.

Had the pleasure of catching Ken Mellons in concert in Leroy, IL tonight. Ken and the whole band put on one heck of a great country show. I didn't catch the steel players name, but I know Ken called him Dapper Dan and he played an Emmons. He was great! As a matter of fact, the whole band sounded gre...

Yes, I forgot to add my compliments to Roy Rosetta. Fine job, as always!!!!!!!

My favorite set of the whole show was Tim Patterson. He had a band made up mostly of family members. His daughter has a beautifully powerful voice! The music was so soulful and good. I felt like I had gone to a black church! They had the Robinson Family keyboard player join them (I think he has also...

.....Inventory. rrrrriiigghhhttt!
How convenient!

Nope, no Bobby Flores this time. But the two guys and a gal he did have sounded grrrreat.

Thought it was neat how much Ray had Mike play. He gave him lots o' solos.

Ray turned the band loose on "Fly Me To the Moon" which I really enjoyed.

Yes, it was a real treat to see and hear Mike playing with Mister Ray. It's no wonder why he has that gig. Loved the entire show - and so did everyone else, according to all the standing o's and plentiful applause. Keep up the great work, Mike! We're happy for you.

That's the one! Thanks a bunch.

Hi Jimmy and Starla, We're enjoying listening to your show tonight. Hey, you guys sang a duet on stage at the last convention and I'm trying to figure out what the name of it was. I know you sing LOTS of songs together and they're all good.....but this particular one kind of had you both kidding aro...

Yes, both Cindy and Redd are very talented musicians. It was a real treat to be able to play some gigs with them last weekend. They've got some cool instrumentals worked up together. Nice people to boot. Catch them if you can!

Hello, this is Mrs. Chrissy Corson. (Dyke's better half). Why don't you all just hop in the car and come see us at our store in Urbana, IL this Sunday, Oct. 2. We're usually not open on Sundays, but this week we're having a FREE CLINIC with Cindy Cashdollar and Redd Volkaert. It would be a fine time...

Don & Michael - Hi, and we're enjoying listening to your show.

Dyke & Chrissy

I also had a great time at the CISGA show at the Rosebowl Sunday. Dyke, Billy, Bob, John, Dave, and Lyle all sounded great on their steels. Good to have such a nice turn out for it too. Lyle, the drummers names are Jimmy Willis and Bo Bobell. They both did a fine job, as usual. Looking forward to th...

One more bump, thanks.

Billy, sounds like the back up band will be myself, Jerry Erickson, Bo Bobell, and Jimmy Willis.

Lyle, looking forward to seeing you and everyone else there!
