The Steel Guitar Forum

Well - Saturday was a real nice day, so I loaded up my mama and drove to Gulfport where I met Bill Stafford,(the first forumite I ever talked to in person). Bobby bowman was at his area with a Sho-Bud pac-a-seat for sale. I asked him if he had ever personally sat on it himself, (to add to its collec...

I am leaving my Carter Starter stock, to keep the collectors value up. After I pay off the mortgage (in 33 more payments,) I am going to by a pro model quitar and customize it with True Tones!

Carter-Starter, the cutest little Peavey you ever saw, and now a BJS bar!

Del, Does that mean that Banjo Patterson wasn't a musician? He was a digger? (Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda you'll go a waltzing, Matilda with me......)<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Budd Kelley on 26 March 2004 at 05:00 AM.]</p></FONT>

I can't believe it! There is finally a question on this forum that I can really help with! I feel so useful! I am 6ft2 and my Carter Starter, with a low Goodrich pedal still had my right thigh rubbing the bottom of the body. I put some books under the legs and measured, and found that I really could...

More importantly, is that the same chair he had in St. Louis?

Thanks! Now she can smile the whole worls.

Is there a program for "Smiley's" or "emoticons" that I can get for my mom? she keeps adding lists that are ad-ware and her home page gets hijacked, etc. She won't use the keyboard symbels, she has to have "the cute ones!"

Thanks for your suggestions!

As a listener of music and not from the view of a music historian - I enjoy it very much. Some really great pairings and some nice back-up. I find it a pleasure to listen to - wheather it is "historicaly" accurate or not. (How many Irving Berlin tunes are done exactly as he wrote them?) No...

How does the 12" speaker handle C6?

Thank you Ricky.

My hands were drying out with winter and the harsh cleansers at work. So I went in to a big dept store, marched right up to the cosmetics counter and asked the lady what she had that wouldn't make me smell like my mother! She recommended "Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter". Good Stuff! I u...

I recieved the Bobbe Seymour Legal Defense Fund CD yesterday and have given it a few listenings. I like it! He gives a variety of sounds, (effects), in a live setting and he has an interesting set list. (The back up band is tight too!) All and all, he is pretty good for an old feller. http://steelgu...

Ricky,

Thank you for the clip and the tab. I have the clip saved and the tab printed. Perhaps someday I will be able to play it.

May I ask what recording the clip is from? I will add it to my collection if it is still available.

Thanks again

I read here, last summer, that he had it ready to ship. I was always going to order it, but never got around to it. Then I heard "Remember When" and I sat right down and ordered it. Mr Green was very professional in his immediate shipping to me of my very own autographed copy! I could kick...

Jimbeaux,

EWE, (Edwin W. Edwards, the former multi time governor of Louisiana), is still in federal prison. I don't think he has internet access there!

Did I win? Did I win?

Budd

Win or lose, right or wrong, legal defense costs money. I truly hope his bill doesn't cost a business. I think I need to buy some of his new CD to give for gifts this year. (And, of course, one to listen to myself!)

OK Ed, if I ever get a new guitar, I promise not to get excited. http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif However, after I leave,you may hear Mr. Seymour make a little noise as he heads to the bank to make a deposit! ----------...

Back in the '60's, I was in the Detroit area. We used to go to hall in the suburbs and watch the Motown "farm teams". They were singers signed with Motown and in groups that copied the major groups. I saw Cindy Birdsong singing with a "Supremes" copy long before she moved up to t...

I am 6' 2" and I have raised my Carter Starter an inch and a half. I could use some extensions on the left knee levers.

Yeah! And sometimes "Elder Otto" would join them on stage! And who can forget Slade's "walking bass lines"? Sometimes he walked plumb off the stage!

I am a 55 yo beginner. I am having a rough time getting a comfortable and repeatable right hand position. I have Newman's "Right Hand Alpha" and have beautiful hand position - until I put my hand on the guitar! I would be very willing to travel up to 100 miles from Baton Rouge, Louisiana t...

Mike really did write that book - and I give it my recommendation. Not overly "wordy" and the information flows smoothly from one chord to another.

Buy two - one for you and one for a friend!

So we have Volvo's, and Opals, and minivans, and SUV's, and pick ups, etc.... Doesn't anyone get to gigs in a Corvette? Or a Jaguar E Type? I thought steel players were "cool dudes"!?

Budd - uncool pick up and minivan. (But I have dreams)

Joe There is a method to this madness! A scale is 8 notes. (CDEFGABC). It is made up of intervals of whole, whole, half, - and then it goes up a whole step and is repeated. (C-D = whole, D-E =whole, E-F =half, up a whole step to F-G = whole, and repeat whole, whole, Half. The last 4 notes of a scale...

I have 3 years left on the mortgage and 6 years till I retire. Then I am going to buy a guitar worth owning, with a big amp and move from the bedroom to the living room!

WATCH OUT NEIGHBORS!!
