The Steel Guitar Forum

An old Supro "Comet" lap steel, a Ricky BD6, 1938 and a '68 Fender Telecaster Bass.

Currently riding an FXD but I've had a few Harleys. Started in the 50's with a 125cc James. Moved on to Jawas, then a bunch of Japanese bikes. Harleys after that and I'll stick with 'em, they're a pretty fine bike!!!

Al Bragg & Don Patterson (who plays just about enough to get to hang out with real steelers)from Ottawa Canada.

I have a '74 Classic S-10 in nearly new condition.

Glad to hear Bob Wingrove is still playing. Back in the 70's I was a young TV cameraman on a show called "Country Way" produced in Ottawa Canada. Bob was the steel player on that show , a great C6th man, not to mention a very funny guy too. He showed up with a 1929 dobro one night and I wa...

Mine's a 1974 White Tidewood S-10, plays like new and looks pretty good too. A paper tag stuck inside says "final inspection & assembly by Bud Carter".

That beginning lick on "Young Love" sure inspired a lot of us young kids back in '57 or so.

I've been a ham since 1972, VE3AAW in Ottawa Canada.

"The Night Hank Williams Came to Town" has some nice steel in it. Oops didn't see the above post for some reason. Must be old age!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Don Patterson on 14 September 2003 at 04:28 PM.]</p></FONT>

Back in the 60's I had to play bass guitar with a band on a pontoon boat while crossing the Ottawa River. A wave came over the bow and my amp, an old Supro ended up in about 3 inches of water. That amp had the power supply & 6L6's in the bottom. It didnt quit, and none of us was electrocuted. I ...

Barbara, I think the show was Prime Time Country, according to his web site.

Barbara, I don't remember the name of the show but I believe it was produced by Dick Clark Productions. Checked out their site but no mention of that show, maye they might remember the name if you contacted them

Thanx for all the warm greetings folks. You can sure spend a lot of time reading all the great posts here. And thanx to b0b for providing this excellent board. Anne I'll join the steelers directory too. It's great to finally be a member here.

Me too and lets not forget Al Bragg and Bob Wingrove too.

I'e been "lurking" here for quite a while now and I finally got around to joining. I play lap steel, dobro, and a bit of pedal steel too. I am always amazed at the comaraderie amongst all the members here, I feel like I already know many of you just by reading your posts. What a great reso...
