The Steel Guitar Forum

This is a superb rendition. You are truly an artist!

Herb Remington?

I'm very sorry to hear this. my sincere sympathy.

This is Noel Boggs.

Doug, you never cease to amaze me. This is just excellent steel guitar. Everything about this is
great. Looking forward to future posts.

Great idea, 100% for Smiley. A super guy, as well as a
great guitarist. He deserves it.

I was never fortunate enough to meet him, but I always
enjoyed his work, especially with Ole Rasmussen. Always
felt he deserved more recognition than he got. He was one of my favorites, along with Murphey and Boggs. Always looked forward to his posts on the forum.

Haven't seen any recent posts by Billy Tonneson. Anyone
know about him?

Herb has contributed more the steel guitar world than
just about anyone around today. He is a very modest
unassuming man, will help you in any way he can and
would never acknowledge the vast amount of work that
he has done in his long career. I sincerely hope that
he continues for a long time.

Roger, with all respect that sound more like Noel Boggs?

Excellent steel guitar, Doug. This and your "so rare"
are really great. Always look forward to anything you do.

I have not seen a post by Billy Tonneson lately. One of my favorite steel guitarists. Hope Billy is O.K. I know he has problems with prostate cancer and macular degeneration in his eyes. Hoping Billy is doing fine and has just not posted lately.

Beautiful clip. It hardly seems possible that exactly 39 years ago this Labor day weekend Noel died at the age of 56. Sadly, to me, this kind of steel guitar sound is rarely heard today.

Couple more names, J.L. Jenkins (Johnnie Lee Wills band)
Dick Stubbs (played on Town Hall Party here in So.Cal.and was with Ole Rasmussen for a short period of time.

Glenn "Blub" Rhees was with Bob Wills for a number of
years. His blend of sax with Gene Crownover's steel
guitar was really unique.

If Smiley Roberts endorses him that's good enough for me.

This is a tough one. It has Spade written all over it, but it just doesn't sound like Joaquin to me. The right hand harmonics before the steel solo don't sound like
the usual presentation by Murph. It'll be interesting to to know the answer.

Just excellent steel guitar. The more I listen to this the more I appreciate it.
You really have some fine chops, Doug

Billy, sorry to hear of Earl Finley's passing. You guys sure made a tight guitar combo. Always enjoyed listening to you.
Your comment about Earl playing with Jimmy Wyble and Billy Bowman with Bob Wills was interesting. Do you have any approximate time era this was in?

Herb Remington was playing steel with Bob from 1946 thru most of 1949. Tommy Duncan was with Bob for part of that time.

absolutely great, Mike. I'm sure Herb would agree.

Wayne Burdick and Marian Hall were steel players with Tex after Joaquin's time.
