Thanks for your reply Sonny.....Yeah, we had heard about your wife, and we were praying everything turned out well, and it sounds like it did. That's great news. I have spoken to the guy who posted the video on YouTube, and he claims it was from a movie called "Forty Acres of Country" or s...

Well guys, I have recieved an e mail from Kelso Herston today informing me that it was indeed NOT him playing the lead guitar on that clip on YouTube, with George Jones and Johnny Paycheck. He was quite amazed just how much this guy had "HIS" style and sound down pat. I was convinced from ...

I stumbled across this a couple days ago on You Tube... http://youtube.com/watch?v=j8pY-ptbzSs (isn't this the coolest thing??) I was absolutely fascinated to see these guys in George's band. Okay...walk me through this now guys.....cuz I am kinda new to this name dropping...... Here is what I come ...

I also caught the quick snipet reference to the cigarette being snuffed out on the bus.....and yes, it was a bit eerie.... A very excellent movie, and pretty accurate portrayal of some very interesting people. I have heard a couple disparities tho, on a couple things...one that John's relationship w...

Hey all... Just sat down yesterday to watch my newly acquired DVD of "Walk The Line".... (of course I DID also see it on the big screen at the theatre opening weekend!!) But gotta tell ya I was quite pleasantly surprised when I watched the "musicians" credits at the end of the mo...

Well Guys... After nearly a week, and possibly ten different "for sure" guesses on who the steeler was in that awesome Faron Young-Hee Haw clip...I have just been notified by e mail by THE Music Producer from Hee Haw back in the day...I know you would recognize the name in a heartbeat....b...

Am I seeing things, or is that Paycheck on the far left singing harmony??? If it isn't...boy, it sure looks like him....early seventies....

Thanks guys for clarifying that one.... wasn't really sure, but one short second, the steeler kinda looked up and i thought I recognized that familiar Buddy Emmons "grin".... Either way, an awesome video, great Faron, great steel work....man, that's cool!! Two questions tho.... If that was...

Hey Guys, Just ran across another fantastic video on youtube.com a couple days ago. (where are these guys finding this cool old stuff?) and was quite pleased, and surprised to hear such great music....AND to recognize a few of the band members. I am assuming this video, (circa '72-'73) was from a &q...

Wow...Great Pix Gary!!! I was really hoping someone was gonna step forward today and give us a run down of yesterday's events. Great Job!!! Sounds like everyone involved had a fantastic time, and I'll bet Lloyd and Dot enjoyed themselves immensely. I had been scheming, and trying any possible way to...

Wow...GREAT news... What was i just saying yesterday about "Retro-Cool".... Yeah, baby. "Long overdue", pretty much sums it up. What an 'average' Country Music follower does not really realize, as i didn't until recently, is that mostly all of the music that we grew up listening ...

Hi Buddy and group, For many years I have wanted to ask someone in the steel guitar community about a fellow named Chuck Carroll. I had heard of many years ago. I have never heard him mentioned ever, until today, when perusing your website, Buddy. You had included a MP3 file of a song from 1955, rec...

Interesting topic guys.... Here's my two cents on the subject, and worth every penny you paid for it..... Guess I could be accused of being hung up a little more in the past than most average folk. Some say I was born about thirty years too late. But in reality, I seem to just find what i like, and ...

Hi Egil, Sorry about the e mail mixup. I should get around one day to contacting Brother Bobby Lee about changing my e mail address settings here on the SGF. I only changed it 4 years ago http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif I also have been wanting to join the procrastinators club too, but keep pu...

Glad you enjoyed the pix, Ricky.. In regards to sharing a video clip or two of this awesome show, First, I would have to clear it with Red, (i already interrupted him and his OTHER other Dad, Chrysler Designer Carl Cameron, at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale this afternoon) and he would then have to c...

Hmmm...now that i got this figured out, I'm done...
I believe Red told me this famous steel now belongs to that doctor down in Texas (forgot his name, he is a member here)....

Gee, this isn't that difficult...

How about this....

Okay, NOW I got the hang of this.... :^)

okay, we'll try this...... (frustrating)

Hmmm...lets see if I did this right....

Hey Guys, Interesting topic....Let me see if I can figure out how to insert a few pictures of this great show. I have a copy of the entire show, on DVD. I just had to first make a call or two to see if the involved parties mind if I post some pix.... Interesting story, as i was told, Lloyd was sched...

Hi Folks.... Gotta tell ya......this was my second time to Grand Rapids, and Man, was it worth it. Unfortunately, I missed Friday night, as I had to work Saturday morning, but high-tailed it as fast as I could out to GR in the mid afternoon. I got in just as John Hughey was finishing his set, and it...

My 6 year old son (who is much more computer fluent than I) found this clip on one of "Cartoon Network's" websites. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.....and had to share it with you all.... Anyone know who is playing this fine lick??? I especially like the "shiver" towards ...
