Ahhh...beautifully done, Roy...(as always)..You're an inspiration to me! Thanks for sharing your masterful rendition of this great old song dan

Delightful as always Roy! I remember the tune well ...and Jeremy is right ..Mason Williams was 'writer' for the Smothers Bros show..and often played guitar during musical interludes with them on their TV show from time to time. He made that tune a classic and you've embellished it wonderfully! Thank...

Wow Don, my story much like yours. When I got it from a music store in Arkansas, (found a listing online, called and negotiated price, and bought it 'right' ) I was bit disappointed in the sound, but the guitar (even though grimy/dusty in need of major cleaning & TLC) was in excellent condition....

Thanks Don, In answer to your question about Magnatone Lyric D-8, I only have one. It's a pristine one that has great sustain, got it about a year ago. It was dirty but showing very little wear or use. I cleaned, polished and restrung it. Came with case and legs, but I have it in my 'music room' (a ...

I'm like Kona Don, started early and vanished for awhile, early 50's. The Oahu Conservatory (or travelin' teachers) as I called it then. Even though I've been 'sorta-kinda-playing-steel'..for over 50 years, I'm just now beginning to learn and appreciate it in my 70th year. Here's 'the rest of the st...

A TUTORIAL for those having trouble saving (or downloading) Roy's songs. (For those using any version of MS Windows OS). I too struggled at first, but it works like this: 1. Go to Roy's hosting site, and click RIGHT on the words; Download Mp3, (NOT Stream) a box appears that gives you choices. 2. Cl...

Hauntingly exquisite ...Roy .. Mahalo for sharing it with us! <I>ahhh... but it ends
way too soon...</I> More, more...& bravo! Dan

Ricky, Your chord finder 'site' is magical! Thanks very much for sharing it with us. A great gift of info you've provided! Mahalo.. dan

Incredible ..Roy! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif ..smilin' at your talent and expertise..again! I first heard this song in a Seattle club (Jazz Alley) performed live by none other... than Stan Getz/Astrud & João Gilberto in 1964. It was enchanting then, and still is today! Thanks for shar...

Yep! Mp3 works on any 'media player' or Pc operating system. It's easy to download & save by putting cursor on the link or Mp3 button and do 'save as'. Also very universal! Real Player is a pain (it wants to take over your PC ..ugh!) My vote definitely for Mp3 format.Appreciate yours ...keep up ...

Lovely ...Roy ..absolutely, positively just lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us .. dan

Ahem, guys & gals, here's a slightly different 'perspective' no one seems to have mentioned (or thought of?) during this marathon thread. When I first joined last year, and looked at topics 'No Peddlers' intrigued me, but to be honest, my 'first thought' was ...hmm..'Peddler' is a salesman, hawk...

Good job (again) Craig! You're as good at explaining what you do as ... 'doing what you do' ... I'm sure I am just one of a long list of appreciative 'forumites' who feel that way! Thanks for all your very talented 'hard work' and sharing it with us! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif dan<font si...

Yep, SCAM 'tis! Lots of this crapola going around ..sadly ..BEWARE! I use PayPal lots and get frequent scam attempts. NO legit service such as PayPal, ebay or (any other) would ask for SS#'s, PIN #'s or Passwords. If you get anything like that, Send the letters (forward) to proper authorities and NE...

WOW, Craig! You did it, thanks so much! It was one of the first 'serious songs' I learned from the 'traveling Oahu teachers' back in early 50's. One I could always play, even with time away from steel over the years, that and Steel Guitar Rag. Maybe I'm pushing that 'senior envelope' a little harder...

Another winner Craig, Mahalo mucho! Have you run across 'Harbor Lights' yet? (hint, hint, not so subtle..haha!) It does have a lot of 'tune' in it..one of the first songs I learned back in the early 50's (and have forgotten how to play, I'm afraid) dan

Craig ..I love 'Red Sails'...would really appreciate that one if you do it. Another (same era) that takes me 'there' .. is 'Harbor Lights' ..Any chance you might do that one as well? Thanks so much for all your delicious work and considerable talent .. Dan

Thanks Roy! You brought Craig's 'Poinciana', to life beautifully. An elegant song I remember from long ago. Thanks for sharing it with us! dan

Been wondering the same thing about ringtones? Love to have some 'steel' on my verizon LG8100 camera phone, tired of mickey mouse ringer noises they provide, even when you buy some. Find'em..? lemme know too, thanks .. dan

What can I say Craig?..except Thank You! Those January trades must be stirring your creative juices with a vigor...Sure wish I was there instead of here in rainy Seattle! Mahalo and Aloha friend ... dan

Thanks Larry ..what a treasure that link is, wow! Chords and lyrics too! Appreciate your sharing it with us, amazing what surfaces here when you least expect it! dan

Thank you Mick! just discovered your tab/page and it's fantastic! Able to download save & play some of your Mp3's and print out tabs. Appreciate your generosity and talent sharing with us! Dan

Craig ...another winner! Mahalo good friend, it's a delightful gift you send us each time you 'tab-another' I really appreciate the PDF format too, so easy to print out and save. Much Aloha, dan

I too am now falling asleep (and waking) to Hawaiian steel music of MY choice http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif (some of Roy Thompson, Kay Das and other of our generous, talented forumites) posted here as mp3's. I downloaded and burned a cd about 30 minutes long, that goes in a 'christmas presen...

Craig...your tabs, and inspirational renditions of ALL the songs you've posted here are fantastic! I appreciate both your talent and generosity in sharing them with us! Mahalo ...my friend & Much Aloha! dan
