The Steel Guitar Forum

Carrot Cake!

Wally, I come out of the Steel into a Goodrich Matchbro (dobro simulator/steel driver), out of the Matchbro into a Boss 7 Band E.Q., out of the Boss Pedal into a Goodrich (potless electric) Volume Pedal, out of the Goodrich Volume Pedal into a Lexicon MPX 110 (I use delay only), out of the Lexicon l...

I'm with Jim Cohen 100%.

The first 7 years of playing pedal steel I anchored my palm on the 10th string to get my hand position. I would push too hard on that 10th string and they would unravel or break from time to time. For the past 26 years I've been resting my palm lightly over strings 4 through 10 and have never broken...

Dave,

My LeGrande is holding up well. Thanks for keeping it road worthy! (http://www.myspace.com/davessteelguitarshop)

I use the Goodrich Matchbro and was going direct.

Mike Johnson played on "Mirrors" and quite well!!

Danny is a great Steel Player. He also plays Lead Guitar on that gig. He is one talented dude! Go see the show if you can. You'll love it.

It was me, said I. Yes, I also play guitar (but never w/ The Oaks) and the Steel I played was my original (short key-head) LeGrande 10 string E-9th Loafer. ("By Mennon") I'll bet it looked pretty on TV.... it had to look better than I did that time of day!

What offends me, is that someone is offended by capital letters! (I actually prefer them, but I may need glasses).

I was in the I.A.B.A. in the 70's. I was a guitar student at Peg Nelson Guitar Center in Beloit, Wisconsin. Her students did real well in those competitions. We were in the I.G.L. too. (Illinois Guitar League) Becouse of my success in those organizations I was invited to compete in the Nationals 3 t...

Theresa,

I look forward to seeing you and Greg Wednesday night at Douglas Corner!

Chris, your last entry tickled me. Thanks, now my day is complete! Goodnight all.

Across the street from Jack's Barbeque is a Broadway Club called "The Wheel" which will be inhabitated by Country Music Lovers from 6 to 10 pm Sunday. I think you'd enjoy the band. I know the steel player personally, and Jeff Garris on guitar, Johnny Carpenter on Fiddle, Cotton Payne on dr...

Wednesday July 29 @ Douglas Corner 9:30 - 11:30 pm Mike Johnson and his band "45 RPM" (You'll hear Classic 70's Country done right!) Don't miss it, they only play there once a month! You will enjoy it. I promise.

I only have one Steel and Tracy Lawrence works 11 months a year. Dave has saved the day for me so many times! He does terrific work. I've got an original short key head LeGrande (79' or 80') and Dave has rebuilt and restored this guitar to perfection! Thanks Dave!

I am vying for Steel Guitar OWNER of the YEar having purchased an eleven year old Emmons LeGrande III which will soon be on the work bench of Dave's Steel Guitar Shop. Dave Robbins is a Pro at repairing them, restoring them and getting them to play like a finely tuned machine. (He can play the fire ...

First I'm outed as a Tuba player, then the "Master of Confusion" (I don't think I can argue that one) but, Steel Guitarist of the Year?! Now you've gone too far! Based on having played on the most top ten albums in a 12 month period, the current and reigning Steel Guitarist of the Year is ...

Eddie, You're too kind. Jim, your dream makes me nervous too. Wally, what do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A Stick!

It doesn't mess up your attack, it improves it.

You guys crack me up!

I come to the forum to: 1. Have fun 2. Express my opinions 3. Engage my intellect 4. Show my sense of humor 5. Point out absurdity WITH absurdity. (for example...."Why is there only Talk on Talk Radio? Why can't it expand, why does it put such limitations on itself? It would only make it better...

Hi Deana, Thanks for your kind words last week. I'm STILL moving but come Sunday - no more internet! I'll miss my out of state pen pals, but I think that the 'chicken soup for the soul' forwards, the jokes and 'surfing' wastes too much time. Enjoy the Opry this week! (I'll be listening on the Radio)...

Joey, I haven't seen the Red Green Show in 7 years! I don't think our PBS affiliate carries it anymore. I will look for the movie. Thanks. (Are they airing re-runs on PBS or have they still been making episodes through the past 7 years?) Q: What do you call an armidillo in Tennessee? A: Possum on th...
