The Steel Guitar Forum

I rang Warren two weeks ago on my caravanning trip around Oz.and told him i would call in to see him as we passed. No worries he said there is always a bed here for you and Helen. This is typical of Warren, just one of the many great things about him. I saw in facebook yesterday he'd passed. I am de...

Ther's nothing more lonesome morbid or drear , than to stand in the bar of "A pub with no beer". Slim Dusty. Without a doubt.

Just imagine if there was DVD of that show in existance.WOW.

Great thread Roger, so glad you brought it up. Doesn't time fly.?. I was and still am a Lonnie Donegan fan. Good on you Roger and take care mate.

wife and I flew in from Sydney on Sat. afternoon. Saw the Sat and Sunday shows.Wow can P.F. get any better. I have been priviledged to hear the great Roy Rosetta 3 times now and if he is not the best keyboard player in the world Id like to know who is. So tastefull and never crowding. I love him.

My wife and I will be coming to the show for the first time . Unfortunately we will only catch the last two days.We are excited about that. After the show we intend to see as much of your wonderfull country as possible and catch up with friends in New Mexico. Hope to meet as many of y'all as we can.

How about an Aussie classic, "The Fatal Wedding" by Chad Morgan. Now there's a number.

Yes Chris but you've got to love him.

I'm with you on "Way to survive" Bob, I was at Scotty's in 1996 and if I heard that song once I must have heard it 100 times. I've hated it ever since.

It's a perfect world when You're around old mate.

Cricky Mick, we'll have to do something to cheer you up .

I believe Archie Nicol plays in a Kilt.

The steel guitar world would be so much poorer if it weren't for Bobbe Seymour, the guy is a diamond. I love him to death.

Wonderfull,from the days when country music sounded country.

Nice pics Anne and I'm sure it was a great show,but where are all the young people? If this continues these steel shows along with the rest of us will all die out soon.

Hey Stu, Warren Nielsen does a fine version of Waltzing Matilda on his album Kickin' Back. If you send me your snail mail adress I'll send you a copy. May take a day or two though it's a long way to Alaska.

Well said Michel and Ned,Slim was an icon,and a national treasure he was, and is still missed very much. Many of his songs have become become part of Australian folk lore. He will never be forgotten.

Arch you are a screem. I'm not too sure about Kipling though, the road to Mandelay he wrote about is really a river. Probably too much Mekong whisky.
