Everyone, Al passed away this morning after a brave battle with a terminal lung condition. Al was doing well and suddenly things went downhil quickty to all of our surprise. His entire family got to see him and talk to him. He was totally aware and never lost his sense of humor to the very end. Not ...

In my humble opinion, the best steel guitar I've ever played is the EXCEL, made by Mitsuo Fugii, also known as FUZZY.

Next week Norma Jean and I will be in Sacramento, CA.
Are there any steel players in that area? If so let me know. Thanks. Al

I do not agree. I think a certain amount of Steel Guitar Music is being bought from the general public. In the old days,Alvino Rey, Jerry Byrd and Bud Issacs sold a lot of records as well as Noel Boggs. They got a lot of air play and I listened quite often. In those days people on the street would k...

You also have a Fma9 on strings 11 thru 7.

Jim, I'm looking forward to hearing your latest CD. The best. Al

Jim, congratulations!! I listened to the clips and you sound beautiful. The articulation is right on and it's a refreshing clear but not pierceing sound.
I shall buy your CD. I'm glad you're promoting the Steel Guitar in the Jazz idiom. Keep up the good work. Al

Many thanks to Billy, Troy, Joe, and everyone at SWSGA for a great show and a wonderful time. I think it was one of the best shows yet. SRO Saturday night! Everyone attending had fun and heard some of the best Steel Guitar in the USA. Norma Jean, my wife and I plan on being there next year. The show...

My wife, Norma Jean and I had the pleasure of hearing the Stringroller Trio a couple of weeks ago rehearsing for their upcomming gig. It is a beautiful sound and a step forward in making the Pedal Steel Guitar a legitimate instrument in the world of music. Up until recently the Steel Guitar has been...

Rick, Norma Jean and I shall try to make it to Solona Beach for your gig if at all possible. We have to jiggle some schedules around. I'll keep my fingers crossed. The best, Al

Tonight's the night. John Pisano has personal business and won't be able to play. Jim Fox is taking his place. Jim is a busy professional guitarist, with lots of credits. Check him out on CDBABY.com I hope to see some of you tonight. By the way, I have CDs on CDBABY.com. Thanks, Al [/url]

I knew Jerry in Los Angeles. We played a few gigs together and he was always talking about Joaquin. They were great friends. Although I haven't seen or talked to Jerry in a few years, he'll surely be missed. Condolences to his family.

The Band is Called "The Tingling Brothers" but it's really not a Circus. Just a lot of fun!

I'm playing some gigs with John C Reilly. It's a lot of fun. A lot of old classics, country-rock and rockabilly. John and the song writers for the movie started a band. 3 guitars and steel. Different I'd say.
