The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks for the info. Been kicking myself for missing your January performance in Nashville, so I'm happy to get another chance so soon. Looking forward to the 26th.

So sorry for your loss, Mr. Green. I can't imagine how this loss must feel but you clearly have many relatives, friends, acquaintances and strangers lining up to walk with you in your grief. May you find some comfort and peace in that.

Thanks for sharing this, Susan. I really enjoyed it. I have your August set with Mary Halvorson queued up to watch soon as well.

Mr. Haugh, if you could share any info on my Sho-Bud LDG, serial number 8191, when you have the opportunity, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for generously sharing this valuable info with the forum.

Eddie, I'll take this if it is still available. Please check your email.

Thanks for the info and link, Martin. I'm not familiar with Jandek's work, but I know the name from reading that one of my favorite bands (Low) recorded one of his songs for a tribute album a while back. I'll have to check him out.

Here's another thread about the album. I for one can't get several of the melodies out of my head. (Certainly not a bad thing!)

<SMALL>I was just thinking the other day, "All of my stuff is on one hard drive. What if I lose that drive?"</SMALL> I'm currently on the lookout for a good network HD for that very same reason. Or at least a firewire drive. I've been putting this off, but was reminded to get on the ball ...

To reference a quote from your free Windows XP x64 beta thread, Gary: <SMALL>I enjoy challenges.</SMALL> I can see that! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif Seriously though, thanks for sharing the DriveImage info... good to know. I have Ghost but I'll look into how the two compare. Best of luck w...

<SMALL>So when you play the 6-8-10 strings do you take your right hand completely off the strings and if so, how do you keep your hand oriented to the strings when its not resting on the strings?</SMALL> Leila, it sounds like I'm not too far ahead of your on the learning curve, so let me offer what...

I purchased the VS-II right after getting my first pedal steel, so I haven't had the experience of tuning this guitar without it. But after tuning 6-string guitars with other blinky LED or needle tuners, I can say that this is a much improved method. It's very easy to tell when your getting close to...

I recently purchased Mel Bay's Deluxe Pedal Steel Guitar Method used from a forum member, and it actually includes some of this basic note-reading instruction for the E9 neck. It starts off as Bobby Lee suggests, on the 3rd and 8th frets. This might serve you better than a piano book. Looks like the...

Actually GAC is already on DirecTV: channel 326. I noticed it on the channel guide about a month ago, I guess. Nice to be able to check in on the Opry again.

I recently purchased a (barely) used 112 on consignment at Broadway Music for a great price. I'm very much a beginner, so I can't speak to amp comparisons, but I really like what I'm hearing from this Nashville 112. Starting out, I had been running my LDG through a "Twin" setting on a digi...

I agree... this album is pretty darn phenomenal. I'm thrilled it finally saw the light of day in an official form. Must admit I was a bit tentative when I heard it was all going to be rerecorded for the release (not compiled from the old '67 tapes), but those fears were totally unfounded. And I rece...

No guarantees, but maybe one of these will help? http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q141/3/49.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q195/7/07.asp (Actually, maybe try the second link first.)<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited b...

I'm in the time-consuming process of transferring over two dozen old home movies (on VHS tapes) to DVD using an iMac. It's taking me a while because I'm adding titles, editing a little, etc. The following may be quite peripheral to your situation, but two suggestions nonetheless: - This may be out o...

Tough question, but I'd say my top three are:

1) God Only Knows (Beach Boys)
2) A Day in the Life (Beatles)
3) O Holy Night

The site says, "This product is intended for testing and evaluation purposes only. It should not be used for production purposes, and should not be placed in a production environment." I thought that last statement applied to all other versions of Windows as well. http://steelguitarforum.c...

As a PC & Mac user who is growing increasingly frustrated with his PC, I agree with your Mac leanings. The usual rule of thumb is to buy as much computer as you can afford at the time. I'm not up on the latest Apple models so I'll leave the ibook vs. powerbook and Ghz questions to others. But wh...

You might try this page on answersthatwork.com for some direction. And there's a similar page at blackviper.com, specifically for XP users. I've never used either site so I can't vouch for their usefulness, but they might get your started sorting through all those tasks.

Tay, when I met Tom Brumley at last year's ISGC, I introduced myself and stated that I keep getting the question you just asked--whether or not I'm related to Tom Brumley. I told him that I answer, "No, there's no relation that I'm aware of." He then replied, "I'm sure we are! There a...

Tay, I know Newbern is pretty far from Nashville, but I see that Willie Cantu is playing at Nashville Palace in a little over a week. I don't have any more info than what is below, but it sounds like you might be interested to know about it. Saturday, August 21st Debra Bradshaw w/Willie Cantu Nashvi...

I just picked this CD up yesterday evening. I had already been planning to buy it without hearing a note, thanks to contributions by Neko Case and Lloyd Green. Plus I only recently discovered Paycheck's Little Darlin' material (via The Real Mr. Heartache ) and am really enjoying it. Yet while listen...

I'd like all four. I sent an email your way.
