The Steel Guitar Forum

Remembering my great friend, church Brother, and Derby steel guitarist Bro. Dale Self who passed away suddenly Wednesday night. May you rest in peace and God comfort your family and friends.Dale was just enjoying the first few years of becoming a steel guitarist. He took some instruction from Bob kn...

Hey Richard it was an honor to pick with you! You are very talented for sure. I had a great time and the folks there are all so very nice and the food is good too! In case you can't/don't recognize everyone here is the lineup, seated, left to right: Billy Robinson, Ron Elliott, DeWitt "Scotty&...

An honor to work with these treasured steel players!

See you on Saturday Bill!

Probably just the Tele....not worthy to set up the Derby with you big boys!!! LOL...Look forward to seeing ya.

Yeah I'll be there around 3pm Friday. We gonna jam in the Derby Room I hope?

Anyone know if it's on this year and what happened to their site?

Way to go guys! Charlie would want nothing more than to keep the Derby Family together! I can't wait to see everyone there!

Enjoyed the show Al but it was a real blessing to see Bobbe Seymour playing again!

Ron, I love ya man...your an inspiration to me and I appreciate your friendship.

Let me say what an honor it was to play in the band for this show. Thank you so much Bob and LMSGC for makin it happen. Thank you to all the steel players for the paths you've carved along the way. Your talent can never be duplicated or replaced! Excellent show........A+++++++

CJ is this you? Wichita here....that's a beauty combo man! Bump for a great package.

Sent you a pm.....get back to me

Bill, I feel I have to get in on this one since I am friends on both sides of the fence. You have been nothing but extremely nice to me and I consider you a friend so I just wanna maybe give you a different view on the issue at hand because I too have had something similar happen to me before and a ...

I didn't hear of anything this year, if someone was a victim please post your stories......I did steal a bunch of licks this year though!!!!!

Everyone be alert this year! Thieves have been on the prowl the last few years at the show knowing music equipment will be in the area. Last year John Hughey's auto was broken into and also some rooms were hit. We need to all look out for each other and be on our toes. See everyone starting Friday.....

My apology goes out to Norm....I totally did'nt recognise him then. Wow....Norm I still love ya and hope you except the apology.......I do like the new hat...

Where's Norm? I hope he is ok. Saw Hag this week and Biff and Don were the only Strangers there. Great to see Biff back. It was thrown together for sure. Norm hurry back! Loretta Lynn kicked butt!

Great guy and a great site. Danny,.... Russels Shed has a new sign and looks great. See you soon.

Randy, gonna try my best to come down and see ya!

Sorry guys..I just got caught up with the abbreviations thing, NSGC, TSGA,ISGA, etc...I'm a work in progress..lol. All jokes aside, I respect and love this site! Nothing comes close to keeping my favorite kind of music alive like the members of this forum. Danny you did miss a good one. Eli said at ...

Tonight the great Lynn Owsley made a surprise visit to our monthly meeting and show. It might not mean alot to anyone else but it certainly was an honor to me to pick with him and to get to sing Waltz Across Texas. Lynn, Love ya man!!!!

Jim, welcome to the family! Hope you make it to St. Louis again this year.

I'm gonna be in town Friday night and I'm wanting to hear some real Country. Where?

My two cents worth. The Nashville Number System will never be accepted by some. I know I have gotten several negative comments from some musicians that don't understand the importance of using it. Alot of people have gotten offended because I use charts and a music stand on stage but I just go on. T...
