I got my Bear Family box set of Wynn at Ernest Tubb in Nashville. I've been a fan since he had the house band at George's Roundup in the late 50's

Have visited Norway 3 times and it is high on my list of most beautiful countries. Hope you enjoy the forum as much as I have.

I worked with Art Sanchez in Riverside and San Berdoo in 1960. There was never a finer person. I think he died a little over 10 years ago. Jay Dee says he learned steel from Art. Art went to the Palamino Club after we worked together. wally

Elder's Ball Thursday Aug 17 at Nashville Nitelife Music Valley Drive (next to Camping World) Always a great nite and an awesome steel guitar player (some past ones: Jim Vest, John Hughey, Russ Hicks, etc) It is a get together of former club musicians/touring band members and surprise guests. $3 but...

Thanks Roger. I spent some time in San Antone around '45 and look forward to going again. I think I'll take a couple months and do all the big Texas towns. Sounds great.

Thank you guys. Looks like I am heading for the greater TEXAS area. I love the food in Chi-town but can't stand the wind!!! LOL I'll get by there again one day.

I want to spend a couple of months in/near a city with live REAL country bands with STEEL in honky tonks. Does that exist anywhere today? Except Nashville (I live near there). Perhaps in Texas?? Thanks Wally

No one has done more for the STEEL. Long overdue. wally

There is a neat reconstructed mountain village between G'burg and Cherokee that is free and nice to wander thru. Go canoeing or floating at Townsend. In Cherokee there is a mill where you can get all kinds of flour, meal, etc. ENJOY

Welcome to TN. You have a place to stay near Nashville anytime you need. Esp during the NTSGA Jams. I try make everyone of them--as a spectator. I am an original east Tennessean myself (one leg shorter) so you are in God's country. wally

Ditto the great remarks on the SHOW. It was fantastic. The real PLUS to great steeling was meeting FORUM founder Bobby Lee and the folks who work so hard like DONNA DODD and her great steeling hubby. Man, I can't wait till next year!!! Great show Billy and STAFF and there aren't words to describe th...

ASEL/commercial/tail dragger. Sold my '47 Stinson 108-1 the last time I scared myself.

I had the good fortune to purchase Jeff's '79 Emmons D-10 and have enjoyed every minute spent trying to learn PSG!!! He's a super tech, he is. wally

WOnderful Stu. Love your playing

welcome Jay AND Mike too. You're gonna love it. wally

Hi Andreas. Look forward to hearing YOU the next time I am in Denmark. Welcome wally

I'm glad someone started this one. I will be 70 next month and just getting started. Was beginning to think I was the only SENIOR newbie out there. THANKS for the inspiration.

Friend visiting me from Yuma AZ asked if I might locate Bill Green he used to jam with in FL?? Appreciate any info

Welcome. Nice to have new members. I'll give you a holler next time in Memphis. Be cool

You convinced me last year with the TALENT and the screens so we can see the playing up close and personal.

There may be no PSG for dummies but there is always a PSG salesman for DUMMIES!! Good luck combing thru the endless 'learn hows' but just about anyone can give you a good start.

Well I've never seen such stars that you people have backed. I once played with myself!!
