Leon Thomas played Steel during the 1950's. He played with road bands such as Charlie Walker. Leon told me about the great Herb Remmington teaching him to play by music. Leon passed away this last year. Sure would be nice if all who knew this great man would respond and tell us what you remember abo...

I met Jimmy Biggers @ 1964 in Lufkin,TX. Thought I had stumbled onto Curly Chalker, at least Jimmy's sound was a lot like Chalker.. Jimmy played a "B6th" tuning on his lower neck. I understand he played/recorded with Ray Price during the 50's. Jimmy thought he could have been the first to ...

...in 1964 we were introduced to a new style of steel playing. Weldon Myrick, a young man from Jayton, TX. set a style the whole steel playing world would soon follow. The song was "I'll come running". Wow!... this one song would be enough to vote him into the hall of fame. After 42 years ...

Wade...use your finger nail. fold the 3d or ring finger under, lightly touch the object string while picking (@ 3 frets in front with the thumb)... super clear chime!....practice, practice..... oh yeah, this method will chime on any "octive" fret any key. have fun!<font size="1" ...

...well, I've had my SP for @ 26 yrs. All wood necks D-10. No complaints. Everthing in excellent condition. Some gutiars are made in a way where the top string is difficult to see but not the SP. Has excellent sustain and almost chimes it self. Balanced volume on all strings. The C 6th sound is unco...

...had simular problem with the wound G#. Cured my problem by moving the pull rod to a lower position on the bell crank and re-adjusting the nylon tuning nut. If this does not eliminate the problem I would check your pull/ & lower finger for "wear gouge". A clue for "finger wear g...

....no clams Brother, You're second to no one we want to hear more!!!!!

...talking about walking in tall cotton... I just listened to the MJ program of 12/31/05 and guess who was playing? If you said "Smiley Roberts", you're correct! This guy is amazing, he sounds great! Jet Williams introduced Smiley as her newest member of "The Drifting Cowboys" .....

He did it his way! This was evidenced in Connie's 40th anniversary show on Midnight Jamboree. Jack opened with "I'll Come Running" then later he did a fabulous fill on "Run Away Little Tear". One could sense he was in complete control... several steel players were there that nigh...

...it's me! I've been plunking on this Sho-Bud for many years and thought I played pretty well. But now after listening to all the wonderful players of today, I'll never get that Nashville thud! ...now I understand why the wife closes the door and the dogs howel when I fire this thing up, ..."i...

What could you tell us about "Dave Musgrave"...think he made several recordings with Hank....

John, it's a "lack of creative artist". I understand all too well where you're coming from. Your need to create is perhaps greater than that of the company you keep. I would encourage you to keep looking up.... God has something nice for you, every good and decent thing comes from above!

Weldon Myrick, brought picking to a new dimension with "I'll come running". When I first heard the introduction I thought WoW!...what is this person doing?...this is a sound I've never heard before! Like many, I became captivated by this new sound/style. From that time I have been Weldon's...

Keith, you have that raise from "E" to F# on your "C" pedal. Why would you want another?
