The Steel Guitar Forum

We could put you under the stage.

Hi All, I haven't been around for a while but we need a steel player for a big rodeo in Willits CA, on July 3rd. 9:30 to 1:30am show. Some honky tonk, some standards, some current, some rock. $100 for the night. Big crowds. Fun show. Dave Z. or Bobby Lee come to mind but if anyone else is available ...

Nice piece on National Public Radio about Steel.

I'd love to come but we are playing that weekend. Hope to catch you all next time.

Good for you Dave! Hope things are going well for you.

Would you be interested in this gig?

You sound like my wife.

I know, we play better paying gigs than this also, but this is what this gig is.

Now, I'm hoping merchandise sales will be good.

This is one of those exposure gigs and of course Brooks and Dunn are getting con$$iderably more expo$$ure than we are.

I don't think I'd be out there playing if I were trying to get rich though.

Hi All, My band, Swift Kick, is playing after the Brooks & Dunn show on Sept. 8th at Konocti Harbor Resort in Kelseyville CA. and I'm looking for either a pedal steel player or a fiddle player who can play with us cold, no rehearsals. We're doing about half country (mostly newer) and the other h...

Have you gone into the mixer control panel and enabled the line input on your soundcard? It may be muted. Make sure you are in the recording tab under advanced.
