Don....Sorry to hear about Earl, my condolescences! I don't get up Central Tx much any more. Last time I saw Earl (and you) was at a Tommy Burney Jam several years ago at London Hall. Hope things are well with you.

Somewhere back in the '70s when Conway was touring as a four piece, he played Schroeder Hall in Texas. I made a point to be there, and took up a post on John Huey's side of the bandstand to watch and drool. I had been standing there quietly for about 30 minutes when I became aware that someone else ...

RIP Johnny Rhinehart

Lost a great South Texas musician this morning. Sad to post that Johnny Rhinehart passed away this morning. Those who were ever exposed to his playing respected him and his talent. I am proud to have known him and called him a friend. RIP John

Greg...I bought a D10 new in 1973 and played in for 30 yrs...still have it. Those MSAs are the mechanical standard I hold all other guitars to. Haven't found one yet that exceeds their design, IMO. I give Bud Carter his due for that. Tone...now that's a different story.

Paul,

I would agree that the player on Password sounds like Pete, but the Kitty Wells tune....don't think so.

Kudos to JC Burt....Austin steeler

Just wanted to say "congrats" to my friend JC Burt for landing the gig with Charlie Robison. You earned it Bud. JC, if you don't know him is one of those players that the rest of us hate.....plays everything he lays his hands on & is handling vocal harmonies with Charlie. You go guy!

Good suggestions all...but they pale in comparison to seeing him live. Make the most of the experience by standing next to the stage on his side.

On Line Metronome...?

I am looking for some type of adjustable metronome device or software...that will provide a variable tone (E, A, D, Bb, etc), as well an adjustable beat. Hopefully free.

Any thoughts?
