The Steel Guitar Forum

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh317/zoed73/nothingtoadd.gif . . . it may be that this has been posted already in one of the 72 pages of this thread.....but it's not as if I've had nothing else to do other than dredge my way through all o' them pages. That said, I feel I have nothing to regret ...

Graham ~ many thanks for alerting me to that ebay sale !

I had thought I'd never see or hear of that steel again.

Hal Rugg on steel in this clip.

I think it's Big E (or P.F.?) doing a blistering break on Clinton Gregory's "Blue Country Frame of Mind"

(Maybe someone knows for sure who is playing steel on there?)

Spalting is a discolouration caused by fungal growth. It occurs in Beech and other timbers as well as Maple.

Here is an example of Spalted Maple >

Radney Foster "The Running Kind"

Although it's well over 200 years ago, if youtube had been available in the 1780s/90s I'm sure Rabbie Burns would have been very pleased with what he'd have heard had he clicked on THIS LINK.

It's just a girl's voice and a guitar.

Terry,

If you click HERE you may find a few backing tracks that you can play along to.
There aren't a lot, but it's a start.

CLICK HERE to listen to this unusual music.

You've probably heard most, or all of these sounds before ~ but not like this !

. . . . . And not much steel in the song either. If I wanna hear more steel guitar intensive country music, I've got Charley Pride's 'Wonder Could I Live There' Leslie, you're right ~ there isn't a lot of steel on the track, and that was one of Pete Drake's hallmarks. He was definitely one steel pl...

Birmingham Turnaround : Keith Whitley ~ great country song by a great (sadly departed) country singer.

I've had this song on a Tammy Wynette vinyl "LP" since the early 1970's and more or less from when I first heard it, it's been something of a personal anthem for steel guitar. To hear what I'm on about, CLICK HERE. Pete Drake on steel ? ~ but if anyone knows differently let us know. Well ~...

Jimmy ~ at present there are 7,244 members on this forum and I'm pretty sure that most of them have little knowledge of the workings of the pulling system on your steels. Some may have been intrigued when they read the following : . . . . it is a bit unusual in design, but very accurate and pulls an...

Billy,

I'd love to be going to Dallas again --- it's the munny that's keeping me away (or, rather, the shortage of munny ! )

Jim.

Billy ~ that comment should have been posted in "Humor" section !

Hello James ~ or, as I remember you -- Jimmy. You'll probably not remember me as we only met on a handful of occasions, but here are a few of my memories of Jimmy Kerr and the Springfield Guitar Company. Way back in the late 70's when I had never even seen a real pedal steel up close and personal, a...

But they do have outside toilets... . . . . . is that in Croatia, OR on the planes ? Seriously ~ I've been to Croatia and it surely is a beautiful country and fully intend to return there again. We flew on a UK based airline which flies direct from Edinburgh to Pula as well as Dubrovnik. We didn't ...

. . . why not get Elton John to tinkle a few ivories on a track or two and call the CD "Philadelphia Steeldom" ? ? ?

Ken ~ I was just testing to see if y'all was payin' attention !



. . . looks like Jimbeaux at least was on my side !

The Hollies had Don King (I think) play steel on "Jennifer Eccles" . . . . . . and didn't Rod Stewart have steel on one or two of his hits ? (someone might be able to elaborate on this.) . . . and wasn't there a mention of Steel Guitar in the lyrics of one of his songs ? (possibly Mandolin...

Billy ~ I'll lend you a few cents for the postage --- but you'll have to let me know (in writing) when I can expect to be repaid

Hi Walter ~ yes, my wife and I sat and watched the whole concert (as we usually do). As I said elsewhere in another thread ~ it's great that there are still some things on this planet that can be relied upon to remain unchanged. The music was magnificent, and, in my opinion, couldn't be improved upo...

Sorry, Bill. But you do talk a load of keech. None intended. Arch ~ I'd now like to return the compliment you paid to me in another recent forum topic and say :- "Thanks for saying so eloquently that which I have been unable to say." (For any speling and gramer misteaks in this post I wou...

Mike ~ in case you've missed it elsewhere, the general concensus is that black is best for steel guitar tone, don't you know ?

Who's he ? Baz ~ I think he played steel on the Hollies' "Jennifer Eccles" --- but, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong ! . . . and how did I come to think he was your mystery player ? ~ as it was playing in my media player I rolled the cursor over the "now playing" title ...
