The Steel Guitar Forum

Seeing this video reminds me why I was so proud to call Jeff my friend.

Howdy cuz ...

Well, actually we're probably not related, but you're the first steel guitar player (besides myself) with the same last name.

Pleased to meet you!

My compliments to the "craftsman" that put that one together!

Stephen:

I think ESPN is just trying to find "cheaper shows" to call a sport to improve their bottom line.

I guess if people want to watch it, that's fine, but it's not sports, anymore than rap is music.

I have known for a long time that Herby was a good player, but until seeing that, I had no idea how amazingly talented he is!!

Pure smoke!!

Sam has an email address at work too:

smarshall@fenderusa.com

See if it still works.

Your points are well taken ... I think it goes along with the fact that ESPN is has been showing poker as a sport. I like a good poker game, but a sport?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jim Hinton on 13 November 2006 at 07:24 ...

Hi David:

Forgive my ignorance, but if you're looking for a cheapie bass, why not get a Fender Squire P bass?

Fantastic energy and showmanship! Any idea when it was recorded?

Is there anything Barbara can't do well? Jeez, I always had a "crush" on her anyway, and when I see her pickin' like that my heart just starts flutterin'!!

I can't help but wonder what year that clip was made? That is a very cool old track!!

Not to change the subject ... I've had the same picks for 30 years, some of you have too.

Did you keep and use the same bar too?

Does anyone use anything other than Nationals, or Jeff Newman's brand?

It's funny this topic came up today ... I was just on the phone with Fran Newman about getting some new picks. A friend of mine tried them on this weekend, and lost two of them! (I had four total, two were spares) I had the same set of picks for 30 years, and the knothead had 'em for less than 30 mi...

Pardon my ignorance Walter ... but, where's the link?

Jim

Yep, I got that same email this morning and forward it on to the "big spam" guys in cyberland.

I wish I could meet somebody that does that kind of scam so I could kick the living s*** out of them!

I guess I'm a bit angry sounding, aren't I ... sorry, I'll calm down soon.

I broke the ball off my MSA pedal many years ago (where the rod attaches to the pedal), and went to the auto parts store and bought a new thread ball. I didn't realize that the part I had broken was from a carburator linkage. Napa here in Phoenix sold assorted kits to replace them. I hope this infor...

Jamie:

This is very cool information!

Especially since I live in Phoenix, which is right next to Tempe. I have never heard of this place before, but will have to check them out.

Thanks for the tip!

Jim

Here's a link for some of you "Pete Drake fans" http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-894

Speaking of Barbara, what ever happened to her the 'sisters'? I haven't heard anything out of them in years!

Man, I sure had a crush on her in the 70's!!

I heard a great comment about being "big framed" ... "I ain't never seen no fat skeletons"!!

Yeah David ... I really like "see food" too, if I see it, I eat it!

Allen, many people don't understand the problems cause by hormones ... at least men don't understand that well. We all like to complain to women when their hormones are "out of balance", but guys don't "get it". Anyway, I hope you and the prostate problem get well soon. We're all...

I am about 50 pounds overweight, and have begun taking testosterone replacement suppliments. You know, it all makes sense when you think that most of us never had a weight problem until we got older, and the andropause (male menopause) symptoms started kicking in. If a guy can get his hormones back ...

Okay Dave ... I'll bite, what is that contraption those guys are playing? Some kind of an electric multi-key dobro I presume?

You kill me! I have read a number of your posts where I'm falling down laughing from reading them. You have a great sense of humor, and I like the way you think!

Jim
