The Steel Guitar Forum

"YUMMY",but I think I'll keep my BE stuff handy for awhile yet.

Many years ago I read something attributed to Tony Matola. He came up with what he termed the "law of diminishing returns", which brings on the frustration. Don't give up, but consider taking a break and trying it a day or so later. Worked for me when first learning thumb pivking on the ol...

A DVD recorder and a few thumb picks. (Sigh!)

I feel like a trio consisting of B. Emmons, J. Hughey, and Russ Hicks would be worthy of my vote.

Head is so slick I have to carry my dandruf in my shirt pocket.

It would be a bit unhandy to march with at half-time ceremonies. Other than that, school people are usually locked in on "music" that doesn't beg to be played on the steel.............or any other kind of guitar without wierd effects plugged in. I've babbled enough, so there is my less tha...

U.S. Navy 1957 to 1966 - USS Franklin D. Roosevelt - USS Enterprise - Lajes, Azores - France - Italy and various other places better left alone.

I'm grew up as country as a piece of cornbread, but never saw anything wrong with a dose of Lynrd or ZZ. My father was a Jimmy Rogers fan, and a lot of that was heard around the homestead. As far as labels on music types, I am totally indifferent to genre, who played it, or what he played it on. If ...

David:
Maybe he just found a place that felt good and decided to remain in the area for awhile. I'm not criticizing him. He is far better on a tele than I will ever be.

A little blurry (maybe my 70 year old eyes), but it sorta looks like Faron Young on the hay bale. I've been wrong before, so this time wouldn't come as a shock.

I guess mine would be Midnight In Amarillo by aomeone I can't remember. Everytime I think of it, I catch myself humming it for awhile. It just struck a nerve in the music part of my brain. Still does.

I can't speak from much experience, but a good friemd went to a single with a pad because the C6 neck was weaaring out all his long-sleeve shirt sleeves. Cuffs frayed, etc. I guess everyone has some kind of reaason for their preferences.

First I've seen of them in years (decades). My favorite of their songs was "Caffeine Patrol". Speedy got a bit wild on that one.

Pretty house, but I never thought I would want a pink one. Nice tree though.

I might as well voice my opinion on the subject. The day a person is born, he is destined to be a singer or to be tone deaf, or somewhere in between. Every decent musician I ever heard had to devote the majority of his life learning his instrument. I admit a singer also has to practice also, to stre...

Pretty Song. I had heard it before somewhere, but didn't know the title of it. Some good pickers sprinkled around in this community.

Darryl: In reply to your query about the evil European 220 current. Back in the early '60 when I was stationed in the Azores,we had a club band that played the three service clubs (Officer, NCO, and Airman) and we had American electricity. 110 VAC 60 Hz. Once we went outside the gate the world chang...

Bar slants to partially make up for shortage of knee levers on this miserable thing I am stuck with at the time. I have worked up a decent F lever sound and still hold a three note chord. Now I am practicing getting there with the right slant at the right place at the right time. I actually like the...

Anybody know the URL for the new server? I am unable to hear the goodies.

A three-CD set of the "Possum", "Fifty Years of Hits", good & country and some pretty good back-up steel. Also a 1.5 million candlepower spotlight.....and fed.

When struggling to learn as a teenager, almost anyone who used a thumb pick was my hero. About six decades later, I will have to say that Chet was king. then Merle comes in second. I got all wild eyed when I was 18 and BE came to Nashville. From then on he had a lofty spot on the list. Then Jimmy Da...

Yay Bob.

I sometimes dream I can play one.

I recently downloaded Firefoc, but I forgot how to make it the default browser. When I am not actively browsing like working offline and hit a link, say to WEbshots, IE opens it. How do I make Firefox the default browser? Getting kinda old and my memory ain't what it should be.

Low profile. How wide doesn't matter to me. I have a 12 EEE foot.
