I was never really happy with my tone until I got the Evans SE 200 HV. I got rid of all the other amps I had. Jim I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

I have a Digitech Vocalist that is midi controled, that I will trade if some one out there needs one. I got it in a package deal with a PA system and I don't do midi, so I don't need the Vocalist.It has the foot switch and manual. Looks like it might be about 3 or 4 years old. I know it works but ot...

I had a "Senior Moment" at age 45. Jim Miller

Yes, The Christmas Song, and George Strait's Right or Wrong, and Something Special have enough chords to keep me busy. Jim Miller I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

I sure wish Buddy would put his two cents in here. He was there DOING THAT in the early 50's. I for one will take his word for it. Jimmy I'D RATHER BE STEELIN' PS: Hey I'll take John Hughey's word too. Doug Jernigan, I'll take your word. Any of you early session players. I'll take your word. You are...

Yes, it's called the Nashville Number System but, it's my understanding that while it's true the "Nashville Cats" didn't actually come up with the numbers, they did come up with the symbols for Majors, Minors etc. IE: The little triangle is Maj7, the degree mark is Dim. the plus for Aug. e...

While you are on the subject, same system XP PRO, the hour glass flashes all the time. On for 4 secs. off for 3 secs. , and when it does this it also screws up the sound. If I'm working with BIAB the tempo goes "ape". Jimmy I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

Dave, no heat at all. Jimmy I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

Hey Guys, I just sit for a half hour in total darknesss and played with no trouble. Then turned on a small neon light behind me in the back of the room and had no problem at all. I play a Kline U 12 keyless so tuning is not a problem. Jimmy I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

I've been doing it for sometime now. And I might add, both equally bad. The hardest thing for me to do is keep my vocal sustained note on pitch while doing a "WOOP WOOP" as Jeff Newman used to call it. ( That's the "A" pedal going in a couple times quickly.) My voice wanted to do...

Lee, No noise at all. I was very happy to find this thing. I am legally blind in the left eye and have been for some time. The right eye is going slowly. So far God has left a little hole in the middle that I can see through with ample light.But sooner or later I know it's going to go also. I hope t...

I have Macular Degeneration and really have a problem in dimly lit rooms. I have had to carry a shop light to hook up for this reason. Now then,,, I went to Advance auto parts, and bought a product called "El Neon" light strip. It is 5ft. long and is no more than 1/8 inch in diameter. 20 b...

Thanks Alvin, I guess I wasn't far off after all. I also had a senior moment going there. It is George Jones and Willie, not Merle on the cut that I have. Thanks y'all. Jim Miller I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

Guys, the copy I have is a recording of Merle and Willie doing the song. Willie does the second verse, and that's my problem. I can't understand what Willie is saying. It sounds like "My heart would be half full of ashes, and maybe half my heartaches would die". I've even listened to it st...

The last verse starts: If I'd only been born with but one eye, Then I'd only have one eye that cries. My heart would be half full......... What's he saying next? I've listened over and over and, I'm just not sure. Sounds like "of ashes" but that don't make much sense to me. Couldn't fine i...

Yes B0b, I have one, and I would like to see what you have. Jim Miller, I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

Al, If I remember right, my single 12 on a double body is 56 lbs out of the case. I had an SS12 set up the same way that was that was 36 lbs. The one I have is Mica and , the SS was laquer. Jim. I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

You hear so much about cabinett drop. Get your Kline in tune, and then hit that E string or any other, and mash the A&B down and see what the drop is. I've had mine since 89' and It's a keeper. Jim Miller I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'
PS: The "drop" on mine is hardly measurable.

If I were to record a gospel song and I felt that I could do it justice, the song would be "Where No One Stands Alone". What a song! Jimmy, I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

The first "Country" release that I remember was "If You Were Mine To Lose" Jimmy I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

Walter, thank you so much. I really appreciate the info. Jimmy I'D RATHER BE STEELIN'

Webb did a song called "The Sands of Gold". When did he do it? Was it just an album cut and never had radio play? I have a copy of the song on a tape with other artists. It is not your "typical" Webb Pierce style (background music), but it is a pretty song. Jim Miller I'D RATHER ...
