Lol. I agree. But props to Ringo for the effort, and for featuring Greg.

some classic steel on Ringo's new record, by Greg.

here's one from the mid 90's. I'm in the chair.

I remember watching Ray Charles on some late-night talk show, about fifteen years ago, and he was asked by the host, what he thought of Rap. You could see the question made him uncomfortable and he hesitated, before finally bursting out, "Man,... they just talking."

MArk is their a way to convert audio to midi in PT? Been loking for an answer but can't get one...Thanks for the help....Welcome to PT Jack... No, you can't do this. I have PT 9.0.5 on 10.6.6 on a quad core iMac. I am a bit unhappy about the price of the upgrade to 10 however, even though I'm nativ...

Mike Nesmith did a gig just last week in Marfa, Texas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfa,_Texas and streamed it live on his website at the time. Greg Leisz on steel, Shawn and Sarah Watkins playing guitar and fiddle, Benmont Tench on piano. This was a further extension of a gig that they played at ...

I have 2 Brent Averill 1272's that I use for everything.

you would probably need a plug in to do that.
I use Serrato pitch 'n time, which would solve both your problems.

It's expensive, but there are other cheaper plugins that do the same, but I'm only familiar with this one.

Anything by Billy Mays, including the Ballad of Oxiclean, Orange Glo, and Kaboom.
I think his beard actually amplifies his voice, which definitely grates on my nerves.

I got mine last week. I like it.

Hey Chas, they played your beautiful piece 'Joaquin Murphy' from your re-mastered cd - on Global Village today on KPFK FM, and the host said some great things about you. Happy New Year!

My last project I recorded direct, using only the Black Box, before the preamp. I ended up sending my aiff files to a Pro Tools studio in another city where the cd was being recorded. I recorded to Pro Tools (LE), through an Apogee A/D converter and a Brent Averill 1272 preamp. I always record dry a...

Here is a radio interview from 2 weeks ago on a show called Samm Brown's For the record. KPFK FM in this podcast, he interviews Blaine, and several others from the wrecking crew, as well as Tedesco's son, I believe. It's an hour long, but it's very informative, and Hal Blaine is very funny. http://6...

"Walkin, Talkin, Barely Beatin, Broken Heart" Greg Leisz played on this song. He just told me so.. Apparently then, two of the original members of 101 have faulty memories ..... Hi Barry, yeah, their memories are faulty. Greg was flown in to do the session, and they offered him the gig as...

"Walkin, Talkin, Barely Beatin, Broken Heart"

Greg Leisz played on this song. He just told me so..

No, but I've been wanting to post a picture, as it is a beautiful blonde single neck.
I'll try to get a camera together and post a pic as soon as I can.

I've had mine 12 years now. It still plays great, no mechanical problems, and sounds better than ever (with a Truetone pickup)

thanks for the update on Hotel Honolulu, i was puzzled and did not think the steel guitar playing was up there in the greg leisz class... wonder why this CD has the erroneous credits... Greg was going to play on it, but didn't in the end, and the producer evidently sent his name to the printer, way...

this cd is not by Greg Leisz and he didn't even play on it. The credit on it is a mistake.
The producer, Kimo West played all non-pedal guitar.

I guess I can reply to this one. I was in a bass player in a band in the late sixties, and we had rehearsals in Bo's studio-garage, in Chatsworth. He actually was our manager. It was about that time that country-rock was developing, and we asked Bo if had any old pedal steels lying around, and amazi...

I love this question. I remember string 2 freaking me out at first.
Do this, play string 3, then 1, then 4, then string 2...
Does it make more sense now?

My buddy, Greg Leisz who's an A-list player on at least 6 instruments.

Get Right Hand Alpha first, and give yourself a few weeks (months) with that.
After you can pick that way, the world is your oyster.

yes, it's Josh Grange. He's her new steel player.
