Hello Steel Players, I haven't checked in on the forum in awhile, but I have been working on playing my 11 string ZB steel. Thought about selling it, but the darn thing sounds so good tone wise that I've decided to keep it. It is limited with only two knee levers, but thats enough for now. It has th...

Very interesting comments about traditional country music. I had the good fortune of being a radio disc jockey from 1970 through 1990. I did my best on country shows to feature the best in traditional country. I recall the Ricky Skaggs hay day...gosh I think the music he recorded prior to bowing out...

I grew up listening to Buck Owens and The

opinion....

Gary,

In answer to your Wynn Stewart question...It's Such A Pretty World Today. I
was a radio disc jockey for several years..I think I spun the grooves from that fourty five recording....never did get tired of it..
