The Steel Guitar Forum

Sounds like over a year is a long time to hold someone's money.

First off let me say before I even introduce my concerns that I know I am obnoxious, hard headed and a girl and that I don't exactly fit the profile of steel player. Anyhow, I have traveled a few places now and met other steel players. Before these last few recent trips, the only the people I knew w...

Hello Mr. Bob Case:

Just remember: Bi-valves can't play steel. And if they ask, just say no.

Hey all, I'm out here in Dallas-Fort Worth Area visiting the kin. I was wondering if you've heard of any good jams or concerts going on. Here's what I like: Honky Tonk, Derailers, Johnny Cash, Wynn Stewart, The Reverend Horton Heat... What I don't like: POP country, Dolly Parton or the Dixie Chicks....

Smoking chipmunks is illegal.

I mean the Chipmunks that have the Christmas album, you know which ones I'm talking about.

Single neck 3 pedals. Don't know if it's still there but I'm not interested. 599.00 www.emeraldcityguitars.com

I forgot Neko Case and Alison Krauss. They are both awesome!
i'm talking about the ones I can't stand like Dolly Parton.
Sounds like a chipmunk on crack.

Okay, There are not a whole lot of women singers that I can stand that sing today. Most of them sound like processed garbage and the others, well, I don't know what I find irritating. Fans & Foes, tell me which women singers are your favorites and what it is about their RECORDED VOICES that you ...

Mine wasn't a steel guitar gig but was a gig with my band at the Tractor Tavern, the day after Christmas. No one showed up except for our friends. That wasn't a suprize. The bad part is that I had a cold and I asked the bar tender for something to clear my head. They gave me something hot with whisk...

I found a recording of Al. But, it's not for you sensitive PC types.
It's called "Cowboy Love" and it's on The Reverend Horton Heat's "Holy Roller" album.
Enjoy!

Yeah and don't forget that GREAT version of the Mule Skinner Blues (sarcasm).

Labeling music is always hard and some people think that it's not right at all. I consider Ray Price country music but I also consider Jimmie Rodgers (1930s) country music too. Some people would consider Price "lounge music", some people would consider Rodgers "blues" or maybe &q...

I wish i was going to the steel guitar convention, but my trip to Texas is a week late! Darn! I listen to all kinds of music, some titled under country music that most definately isn't. I feel like the true country music makes you get that certain nagging in your heart to quit this damn city and mov...

I know in 1957 what my grandfather made as the breadwinner in his house. Compared to him 30,000 dollars was a lot of money. Right?

<The majority today (who have no class) will continue to do as they damn well please.> Geez, and I thought I was the only one. There are a few country bands in my area, one of them being "The Swains". They have a really good act, AND, they dress nice. It's a good thing. Most of the rockabi...

I swore that I saw a fellow named Chris Lawrence on here. Maybe I am wrong? However, he is playing some excellent steel on Mike Ness' "Cheating at Solitaire". You all should really check it out. Especially "Rest of Our Lives" and "If you Leave Before Me". Wonderful!! WO...

Hiya Michael!
Sorry it took me so long, I have no matters or mind sometimes. I'm sure other people around here will vouch for that.

I think that Al played one track on The Reverend Horton Heat's "Liquor in the Front..." (sorry about the title but that's really the title!) called "Liquor, Beer and Wine". He produced two albums for them "Liquor..." And another called "Space Heater". They are...

Two of my favourite musicians are/were snazzy dressers. The first, currently still alive and kickin is 6 string Gretsch player Jim "The Reverend Horton Heat". He has some SNAZZY clothes and I love it that he dresses up on tour. There are sequins, sparkles, flames, notes on sleeves and he e...

Welcome Dave!

Yes!! Who needs notes and chords for a musical instrument anyways?!?!?!

Just remember: Bi-valves can't play steel. And if they ask, just say no.

I was just reading an interview with the band "Reverend Horton Heat" (www.reverendhortonheat.com) and they said Al Jourgensen of the band "Ministry" is quite a steel player. Anyone ever heard of him playing out anywhere in Texas? Melinda ------------------ Just remember: Bi-valve...
