The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm sorry to hear Albert picked up this bug. I'm glad to hear he's doing better after receiving plasma and antibodies. I work on the frontlines of healthcare and see every day what this virus can do to a person's body. The earlier the interventions, the better. We are all praying for you Albert and ...

The quad sold pre-flood...and in great condition. I feel honored to have played it. When he got the quad, it was one of those guitars in his studio that was always plugged in and ready to go!

" He then modded this steel guitar to have three on/off switches; one for each pickup. Five years later, 2014, this was sold to a private seller because Rick was downsizing " There are inaccuracies here, and I must set them straight. Rick was the second owner, he purchased it from Cindy in...

Looks like it was a blast! Wish I could have been there!

Cool!

Thanks, Guy!

So sad for me to hear. Although I have many favorite steel guitar players, Kayton is without a doubt, my all-time favorite. I listened to him on the Opry every Friday and Saturday night when I was in high school in the 1980’s. His steel guitar sounded like no other. He would play the sweetest fill...

Yes, Jana, Rick would be thrilled. He passed away in 2009. He was very passionate about steel guitar, and loved the steel community. He really enjoyed conversations on the forum, as well as helping newbies with his courses. He had so many musical plans that there were sadly, cut short. I'm glad some...

Very cool Doug! I really enjoyed it...it really opens B11 up!

Wish I could be there! I know it will be a blast!

Thanks so much, Steve, for all you've done in taking the torch and continuing the show as a featured event at the TSGA!

Mike this CD is fantastic! But, I knew it would be.. 8) It's all I've listened to since I got the digital download. I took a little road trip last weekend and played it over and over again! In fact, I'm listening to Bemsha swing right now! It's also given me a new appreciation for Monk's music. I lo...

This is very sad news. Jim was a great guy and a fantastic steel player...pedal and non pedal. In fact, he enjoyed playing a set each year in the Non-Pedal room at the TSGA. I enjoyed chatting with him before and after the show. My condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

A big hand to Steve for stepping in and taking the reins for 2016! Steve has also been a big help behind the scenes for several years with videography. I enjoyed hosting the show for years, but my J.O.B. is as such now, that there is more on my plate, combined with less time off. I hope to be back s...

Your the best, Billy!

Great to see you on the forum. Look forward to seeing you this summer!

Sure wish I could have been there! I missed seeing a lot of good friends and hearing great music. Bob Stone, I wish could have finally met you in person. It was nice to see Lonnie Bennett there. Margie Mays plays in B11 and also D9....I want to play like her when I grow up. Mark Moseley did a fantas...

The schedule has been updated on the top post. We welcome Austin Stewart to Non Pedal Sessions! Looks like a solid two days of awesome players!

Rick was a great guy...to those that didn't know him, he had a heart of gold and would do anything he could to help someone. I miss him everyday. But my heart especially goes out to his widow, Cathe. Rick was only getting started with ideas and projects he had surrounding steel guitar. I know he lef...

So sorry to hear about Mel. I spoke with her on the phone many times, but never had the honor of meeting her. She was a fine lady. I also have the same Hawaiian LPs of her singing. She also hand colored some fret boards I had gotten when I custom built a triple and single neck guitar I got from Herb...

I have pretty much the entire Hawaiian collection that I got when Bruce was still with us. I hope Dallas can get it back up running. Even if not for actual Discs, a download site would be perfect. For Jazz fans, Bruce had quite a jazz library of him playing with different groups. I hope they will be...

Very sad to hear of Melba Remington passing. Herb is one of our steel guitar heroes.

I'm still waiting on the final list of names to be sent to me, so I can put the schedule together for the show. As soon as I get it, I'll let you all know and post it.

Very Cool!

Mark your calendars for the TSGA! I'm going to make the schedule for Albert once I get the names of the players from him. I wish I could be there...It will be a great show!

Thanks Chuck, Mike, and Bob! It's an honor working with you guys.

Hey Bill! Hope to see you at an HSGA convention sometime soon!

You should check it out Paul...it's a fun convention.
