The Steel Guitar Forum

Used for rhythm only, I assume?

While Red lane lived in Mishawaka,I worked some Nashville road shows when he was playing lead guitar, as we were the back-up band for everyone on the show Henry Ade and Tennessee Jim show prod. Booked the shows. Henry Ade was also a steel player out of Fort Wayne Ind.

What Smiley said.

Just curious, Terry, what was your connection to Jack? Did you work in a band with him? Are the recordings you talked about something you can share? Will appreciate hearing anything you have of Jack.

Terry, Jack Sullivan worked in the band that Bob Richards and I put together in early to mid 60's.(Knights of the Road) He stayed in the band for at least ten, fifteen years and maybe longer. I forget why he left the band but it was on his own accord. He played the most commercial steel in northern ...

Comin' home from the job last night, we turned on WSM as usual. After about 5 min. of The Marshall Band's "Can't You See" live (on the Opry or Record Shop) We turned it off and put a Merle Haggard cd in. I don't mean to brag or seem egotistacal, but I swear the band I am in plays better Tr...

Theresa, I don't mean to drift from your thread, but Greg sounded good about 1:30 this morning on WSM Ind time comin' home from the gig. DW

I thought everybody went to Texas after they turned out the lights in Nashville

Dave and Cal, you brought up the DJ Convention and all the hot spots back then, I think it was the third week in Oct. I'd set aside for the convention every year. It must have been when Boot's Randolph had "Yakity-Sax, and they had a sax player in Demon's Den. All of a sudden I heard some one s...

I'll make you a good deal on a used palm pedal e-mail me at guitarmandoyle@yahoo.com

I worked a show a long time ago with a guy by the name of Glen Barber. He had palm pedals. I had to have them on a tele. He had hinges in the middle so he could flip them up out of the way. I worked with them for quite a while and finally gave up. Glen is a super picker, and used them very effectivl...

Been a long time and a lot of miles since "The Lucky Shoe" jam session in Fort Wayne, Ind. I beleive you was around 16, when we first met, and snuck you in and you messed everybodys head up back then and I don't guess you ever quit. Glad to hear you are doing well. An old freind. Doyle

I don't normally post on this kind of thing, but I'll tell you one thing that's in our favor (traditional country)and we hear it all the time and we keep pretty busy, is that they can't hear what we play on todays radio, so they come to where we are workin' to hear it. I know it sounds like I'm suga...

Lookin' good Nick. There's nothin' better than a smooth playin' tele. I'm playin' one about the same shade of the blue one right now and lovin' it. DW

I guess I'm one of the oldest members of the "Forum", being that I can remember when there wasn't a "George Jones" and the first time I saw him in person was at a park in N.E. Ind. (Buck Lake Ranch)and the "Adams Bros." were his back up band. Jones has been a favorite s...

Thanks Craig. If my memory serves me right Bobby had a music store there, and had a radio show called Hymn time country style, I beleive. Johnny, if you don't mind, ask Dixie if she remembers a festival in Wolf Lake Ind. I beleive she was there with her Dad. I won't steal away from this thread anymo...

Was Bobby Hankins from, or would he have settled in southern Michagin in later years. I knew a Bobbie Hankins that had a radio show, and
I beleive he got into Gospel music later on. DW

I always relate Roberson and Helms with Ronnie Hawkens in Toronto Canada, but that's been a long time ago. DW

Help me out Mike. This is Robby Roberson on lead and Levon Helms on drums, right?

Tony who?

Larry, I noticed that too. I'm sure that Gary has a little Cajun blood. Maybe he'll come on and explain it to us. DW

I caught Doug Kershaw on Marty Stuart show last night. I thought it was super, of course I'm a little partial to his Cajun style. It was good to hear him again. DW

My first time on the road, some 50 years ago,in I beleive the Turf Club in Austin Minnesota. I was geen and scared as could be. On break the bartender told me I should have been there the week before, and heard Wanda Jackson's lead player. I asked his name He said some guy by the name of Roy Clark. ...
