The Steel Guitar Forum

It is with shock...hearing of the passing of Bill Mack! I had the privilege of working with Bill Mack, Leroy Van Dyke and Jerry Clower for many years on the "Country Crossroads" radio show. My friend Jim Rupe was the first producer of "Crossroads" and I was the second one. We bot...

Check with Billy Knowles...at Steel Guitar East!
If Billy doesn't HAVE them...he probably knows where
you can get some!

Billy Knowles...is DR. EMMONS!

These are great little tuners! I have every kind of
tuner they ever invented...and I DON'T use them on my
steel...but I have put one on every 6-string I've got,
and I've got a lot of them! They work great on electric
and acoustic!
I use Peterson for my steels!

Billy Knowles is in Kennansville, N.C., not that far
from Raleigh....and if he can't help you with your Marlen problem, nobody can! Nice guy, easy to get along with too!

I am interested in a Lil Izzy...if the price is right! Thanks!

Chris...

I have an Emmons LeGrande II (8 &7) the same color as yours...and I absolutely LOVE it!

I know that most steelers want BLACK...and that's alright. But, I wouldn't trade mine for one!

While I think we should be good stewards of what God has given to us...I do reserve the right to think not very highly of people whose "Life achievement goal" is to make things as difficult for other people as they possibly can! The "EPA" is at the head of that column! And...I do...

I like just a little Delay...and a little Reverb on my amp!

I used to use one of the old Boss DM-3's...but I started using a Boss DD-7...and I liked it so well...I put my old Boss DM-3 away...and don't even know where I put it!

Russ...

I am so sorry to hear about Roger!

I am praying for you and your family!

Jesus is still Lord...and He is good!

In Christ....

Ed, I don't know where you are in North Carolina...but I'm in Wilmington at zip 28411. Let me know how much the shipping is...and I'll send you a check for "$75 plus shipping, if that's OK...and you can just hang onto the Sustain unit til the check clears! I used to be the producer and on-air i...

Gary, do you still have the George L. 15 ft. red cable
for sale?

If you do...I'm interested~

BILLY KNOWLES....at STEEL GUITAR EAST in Kenansville,
N.C. has everything you need there...and he's just the
best to do business with! His phone number is...

I'm looking for some knee-lever clip-on or screw-on
Flags! (or paddles)

Sorry I failed your english class....but....it makes no difference to me.

I HATE COMMUNISM.....AND COMMUNISTS!

Alan.... I'm referring to the original piece under this topic where, at one time, Pete Seeger belonged to the Communist party, and where, later on he backed off of the party for awhile, and when confronted as to whether or not he was a communist...he replied that maybe he was just a communist with a...

This is MY opinion...but it's BASED on what I learned as a national and international broadcaster of the "Country Crossroads" radio show with Jerry Clower and Bill Mack (syndicated on 1,500 stations weekly-now defunct after 40 years on the air)...and as a country performer (singer, lead an...

Whether it's spelled with a little "c" ...or a big "C"...I Can't handle it...as a U.S. military Veteran!

LARRY... DON'T KNOW WHICH HIGHWAYS YOU WILL TRAVERSE ON YOUR JOURNEY...BUT, IF YOU ARE ON I-40 BETWEEN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA AND RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA...YOU WILL GO THROUGH BURLINGTON, N.C.! BURLINGTON IS THE HOME OF EMMONS PEDAL STEEL GUITARS AND IS OWNED AND RUN BY RON LASHLY, THE SON OF RO...

Ray WAS a nice guy...and we ALL miss him. Those wonderful Walker seats are STILL being built exactly the same way Ray built them. Billy Knowles in Kenansville at STEEL GUITAR EAST....is STILL building the WALKER STEEL GUITAR SEAT...just like Ray built them...and they still have the WALKER LOGO on th...

I apologize for the double post on here! There
certainly was nothing to let me know that the first
one ever got on here, therefore, I tried again...so
they both went through. Then, as much as I tried...
I could not delete one of them.

This is embarrassing...but, that's life!

I knew Weldon for many years...but he knew me as a country broadcaster (Country Crossroads radio show which co-starred Jerry Clower and Bill Mack - syndi- cated weekly on 1,500 radio stations around the world.) And then...one night backstage at the Opry...as I passed him on stage and spoke to him......

Joe...

Jan Chamberlin Rooney...was Mickey's 8th wife!

Jan was a singer and a wonderful Christian!
She led Mickey to Christ....and so, thanks so a loving,
Christian wife...and a loving Savior, Jesus, Mickey
Rooney is in heaven!

I'll bet if someone had loaned him a high-chair and a steel..he would have learned to play it!

Ray...I'm not sure exactly when he did....but he did
sign with MGM and "Guitar Boogie" and "Fingers on Fire"
were released on MGM and sold a lots of records, especially for that era of country music!
