The Steel Guitar Forum

Just have to take a moment and thank our President Marcia Rodriques for all the work put into making this years show such a success. With all the planing, lining up the back up band, booking the hall, setting the date, printing the tickets, inviting the guest players and bands, selling the raffle t...

Last RISGA meeting was a real good time. Nice to see everyone, and I must say we seem to be getting better every time we meet. I was really impressed with the new guitar Eddy Cunningham built, and it sounds so good! There's more talent in this orginization than I ever dreamed. Looking forward to th...

I have to agree, this years show was better than all the others. All three bands played their hearts out and keep the audience in awe! The back up band out did themselves making all the players sound professional. Guest steel players were on the top of their game, I know I picked up a thing or two ...

Yes I thought the meeting went very well today too. I'm always suprised by how well the membership is playing, seems like there all getting better every time we meet. Looking forward to the upcoming show and from the playing at this last meeting it's going to be a good one. Keep practicing! God Ble...

Should be another great meeting. If I remember right there are some important issues to go over from the last business meeting so if you can make it we sure would like to see everyone there. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. God Bless

Haven't missed this show sinceI first found out about it in 1990. I'm one of the people who'll greet you at the door and ask to see your badge to get in. This association always puts on the best show in the area and I'm sure they have another one lined up for us this year. Hope to see you all there...

It's hard to believe another show is history, Time is not standing still! Like everyone says this was another fantastic show. Sorry I had to miss the first half but it's hard to find people available to play a previously booked gig when something as good as this is going on. President Marcia Rodriq...

I do believe that every person nominated for this award was just as deserving as I was. It helps to be playing almost every weekend, people out there remember you better when they've just seen you. I do consider this a great honor and was totally suprised. We all play for the love of this instrumen...

Seems like just yesterday we were planning last years show already it's time for another one! I'm looking forward to see how our members have improved over the last year. I was totally suprised at some of them last year and it made me get back to practicing a little more. Anyone missing this show wi...

Thanks Bob I'll try rebooting and see what happens.

I was able to get my profex working but I cannot get it to take any of the presets off the ram card. It keeps saying Out Of Parameter. The initial setting from peave are there but nothing else. Any Ideas?

Ken, the battery in this unit was replaced with one of your kits about a year ago. I still have another kit to replace the one in my other Pro-fex II but haven't got around to it yet. Hoppfully I'll be able to get to it soon. Thanks for the help.

Ken, thanks for the information, I couldn't find anything in the book to understand what was going on. I did as you suggested and the unit fired right up. I just have to put the settings back in from the card. I believe I may have to initialize the card before I can do that again but your help has g...

I reciently had my Pro-fex II crap out on me at the last gig I played. I heard a loud noise and now the display says Output Muted. None of the buttons work amd I can find nothin in the Peave book on it. Any Ideas?

I'll be at a safety convention in Houston and would like to take in some good music while I'm there from the 16th to the 21st of August. Would like to know if anyone os playing in the area during that time.

Just booked my room and flights so let me know when your planning to workout amd I just might join ya. God Bless Roger

Very nice looking guitar, I have one similar to yours and am looking for a backup to it. Does your guitar have a solid wooden body? Please advise. God Bless Roger

Sorry I missed this meeting, sometimes other priorities get in the way but we all have to do what we have to do. Like peter I agree life is just too busy at times. God Bless Roger

A note of thanks to each of you. I was suprised and humbled in being chosen for this award. We have so many great steel players in our area and I still have so much more to learn. This instrument has affected me since I was 5 years old, every time I heard it I just had to stop and listen. Hoping to...

The goose bumps are pretty obvious and anyone should be able to see them, But seeing the listeners delight in your playing isn't so obvious. Every once in a while I look up and see someone really interested in what I'm doing but are they really! Unless they tell you there could be many reasons they ...
