The Steel Guitar Forum

I just heard Phil do the most amazingly beautiful rendention of "How Great Thou Art" I ever heard ANY steeler play. Great tone, flawless execution. If you know Phil get him to send you a recording of this. It was great.

Hi Paul,
Haven't heard from you in a while. I was a volunteer fireman for several years many years ago. It runs in my family however. My dad was captain of the crash rescue squad at Ellington AFB in Houston for many years.

Mighty fine pickin'.

Just heard a cut of Winter Wonderland by Jewel(?). There is a fantastic steel solo in this. Anybody know who dun it?

Yeah, Bobbe, I'm afraid I do. Now, quit telling off on OUR ages.

Me too, Bobbe. If I'm remembering right, Ray had a beautiful rendition of " Make the World go Away ". I would love to hear that one on the CD.

That was a show well worth the time to watch and listen. Paul was absolutely fantastic, tasteful backup and his leads were right on the money. Martina was in her usual great form and showed herself to be a classy lady when she gave Ray Price the final phrase in Heartaches by the Number. Wish I had r...

Can someone out there help me??? I'm running Windows XP Home on my computer. I only have 256 MB of RAM so needless to say it is slow. My motherobard will take up to 512MB. My problem is that I can't find a 512MB or 2 256MB sticks of 100/133 SD RAM anywhere. Does anyone have two 256's that they are n...

Ron,

I have been looking for some midi sites and up until now have had no luck. If you have some I would love to have them.

Thanks,

Bill

I don't remember the name of the album itself. I may be able to find out as the song writer is a friend of mine. He should know the title.

Welcome, Kevin, Yoiu have just entered the best source of information for all things steel that there could ever possibly be. Great bunch of people here with no big I's and little you's. Are you any relation to Hank Cook in Misssissippi? I used to know a Kevin Cook and lost track of him, just wonder...

You got my snail mail address on the other forum.

Hello, Tony,

There was a song out several years ago, I think by the Greens. Had some real nice steel in it. It was titled "Mention my Name When you Pray". It was written by a preacher down in Parsons, TN named Mike Wilson. Are you familiar with the song?

Hi Erv,

Please send me this month's tab. Long time favorite song.

Another possibility that sounds kinda off the wall but it happened to me. I had very bad pain in my foot, tried hot salt water soak, everything in the book and somethings not in the book. Finally went to a chiropractor. He X-rayed the foot and found a bone dislocated. He worked on it a couple of tim...

I've been worndering the same thing. Reeves used very little steel in his recording sessions but what he did use was great. He did use Cramer a lot for piano. Atkins did a lot of his lead guitar, too. But who was the steel on the rare occasions when there was a steel?

Darvin, there is some VERY nice steel work on those Praise CD's you sent me. Nice tone and nice, tasteful playing. I LOVE IT.

'70 somthin' MSA D10, 8/5

I got the CD's Darvin. Thank you SOOOO MUCH. They are all great, I really enjoy them. A big "AMEN" to John. Some absolutely AWESOME work on that project with Tim Spell. The title cut "When God Unfolds the Rose" will preach!!!

I'm putting my MSA D-10 through an old Randall Commander amp with twin JBL's. Has a real good sound. The Commander was, I think, Randall's answer to the Fender Twin Reverb. I realize that the amp was not made nor intended for steel but it still does a good job. I played an acoustic six-string throug...

Not too long ago I heard a clip from "Make the World Go Away" by Ray Price. It was on a commercial for candy. (Still a great song)

I was able to listen for a little over an hour last Tuesday night. Great format, real good delivery, excellent playlist. I like the idea of giving a little background on the artist and what he/she plays. Very good job, Nick. I'll listen as often as possible. I've done some radio work in the past. Th...

Thanks, John. Again, it is some very tasteful steel work done on that CD. I can't say enough about it.

Hi Darvin, Tim Freeman is from Louisiana also, Alexandria to be precise. The title cut on the CD I have is a fantastic song "The Other Side of Broken". If you haven't heard this CD you ought to try to get it. Tim attends the big Pentecostal Church there in Alexandria. Are you any relation ...

Hey John, Thanks for the reply. I have to say that the steel work on the CD reminded me a great deal of your sound and style but I could not find credits on the insert so there was no way I could be sure but a lot of the style sounded like what I heard on your "He Touched Me" CD. BTW, grea...
