The Steel Guitar Forum

Thank you so much, Craig!

Thanks Skip and Roger! Just wanted to add one last thing--this essay came out this morning . I wrote it for 13th Dimension. It's called "A Night at the Palomino: The Magical Crossroads of Comics & Music", and it's about those of us who live and work where art meets commerce. Could be t...

Hey all, As the kickstarter campaign for the PALOMINO graphic novel enters its last stretch, I wanted to thank all of you. The support that this project has received from the steel community means a lot to me! So as we're nearing the end, I wanted to share with you the cover, that was just unveiled ...

Thanks Jim!! Sounds like your favorite themes are the same as mine

Hey all. Thank you Steven and Rick!! To answer various questions: -At the end of the campaign, which is 5/13, if the goal has been reached, backers will be contacted for their shipping info. It will also give you the list of prints so you can make your choice. Kristen, "neo-noir" means tha...

Thank you Steven, and thank you Rogers for the kind words! I'm really happy that the imagery is connecting with you guys. I'm really trying to capture the texture of club life, and a working musician's life in the Valley in those days. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/4790_book1_202004...

Hey Skip! Great to hear from you! I sent a message to the gang in LA, but for some reason I didn't have your info! I'm so glad you came across this. I'm leaving a few pages at the end of the book for Palomino Riders who want to be featured, maybe share a few stories... I think that would be awesome....

Thank you so much!

Hi Jim. I just added a reward tier on the page, where you can just order one art print. You will be able to specify which one at the end of the campaign when they ask for your info, as well as to add more of the prints then if you wish. Thank you! Thanks Craig! I've been around the clubs my entire l...

Hey guys! Thank you for the responses, and thank you for ordering! Let me try to address the various questions? -The T-shirts currently offered with the campaign are based on my previous series SILVER (check it out if you like stories about con men and vampires). I'm hoping we can have Palomino-base...

Thank you Craig!

Hey guys! I hope you won’t mind if I come to you with something a little unusual, but fun in these not so fun times. I think you will get a big kick out of this! If this is out of line, Bob, feel free to remove. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/4790_book1_2020031822_3.jpg Palomino is...

Amazing stuff!!! Can't wait for more!!!

Super cool!

In case you want more, they have a third CD called Mission Door done on the same format, that is also wonderful.

What an awesome gig! Congrats guys! I already couldn't wait to see the movie, now I REALLY can't wait to see how the steel is used!

Thank you for posting this amazing video. I find it inspiring on many levels.

They were here in California a few months ago. Karen Tobin and I opened for them on one of the nights, and I got to sit in with them on one of their set on a different night. Those two guys are super smart, talented and friendly. They did not bring a steel player to CA, but you're in Tennessee, so i...

It's a question of parallax. It would take the camera, the bar and the fret being vertically alligned at all times for the bar to appear above the fret. For instance, Close one eye, and hold up your hand so that your thumb hides your index finger, then close that eye and open the other, and you'll s...

Sort of a segway, but I just listened to a couple of Mountain Stage episodes on NPR featuring Patty Loveless. Pete F was playing on one of them. It was the classic country tunes album (Crazy arms, etc...) and steel was right up-front. Pete--your playing was absolutely amazing. The tone, taste, emoti...

Hey Peter, it was great to see you at the Crystal Palace. I have a couple of videos from that night, I will try to post as soon as I get a chance. One is Sin City, and the other is Hello Trouble...

We went to see them last night at the Crystal Palace. That was really amazing to me as I had never seen them together live as a band. It was exactly what you would expect from a DRB concert -- incredible playing and singing from everyone, and although they don't play together that often, the ensembl...

Very cool! Me too, I had a great time at Henry's! Really looking forward to hearing you on the steel!

See you there! Let's see which prius gets there faster!

Hey Peter,

I'm definitely going. Ron Finn is probably coming too.

Cool! And when is the tour?
