Just for the record; I'm not an advocate of skinning bears, nor to disrupt their natural habitat that was their home centuries before man and guns came to America. Supporting an advocacy journalism that favors looking the other way in such matters, whether the subject is concentrated on bears, or st...

Barry, A while ago poachers were very active here and neighboring states poaching black bears. Their purpose was to collect the gallbladders of black bears and sell them illegally. It is believed by some that they possess aphrodisiac properties. Too much cash flow going into the wrong pockets soon b...

Bob S., Surgical set backs would tend to weary the soul to the point of becoming moody. A bypass is the only highway out of trouble city. I know several musicians who had to undergo different types of bypass surgeries. It's amazing knowing that it is possible after surgery to do the things you've al...

Doug B., Before you suggested moving to the studies on lap steel guitars, I had been giving much thought to the possibility of considering what JERRY BYRD knew from the start. Get rid of the multiplicity of mechanical hardware, and concentrate more on finesse. Who can deny that it worked for JERRY? ...

When Will Your Interest In The Pedal Steel Commence To Wane?
When the steel becomes a burden to carry? When minor adjustments become a hassle? You may notice a few favorite tunes just don't sound the same as they once did. Your dreams of taking on tough challenges no longer occupy your thoughts. Failures are more readily accepted. It may be time to quizzicall...

For quite some time I've noticed when pedal steel guitars are the subjects of interest by limited numbers of players, the average public figures display a pitiful ineptitude, second to none. It becomes one branch of study that underachievers are slow in moving forward to a level of understanding. Mo...

John, I want to thank you for your input concerning the direction that we are seeing young musicians travel into as soon as they can hold a guitar. Who knows what they will turn to when country rock loses its appeal. They could come back to wheedling traditional bandleaders as was a common practice ...

A few years back in time country music was taken for granted throughout the state of Massachusetts. Small establishments with a bar and dance floor would somehow scrape up enough cash flow to keep small country bands busy on weekends. The ideal arrangements were booking into clubs where the manageme...

Attempting to better country music of late is the equivalent of selling a truckload of air conditioner units to Eskimos. Interest in true country music has dwindled shamefully. From now on, it remains a wait and see how long this merry-go-round of light rock will last among true country music artist...
