What a dumb concept. Janet Greene seems to be a no-talent whiner, used by rightwing fools who have no concept of freedom of speech nor any concept of anything other than 'rightwing Christian' pap for the masses. She represented no real thought nor any real political movement based on actual thought....

Depending on the time and my health, I'd be interested in lessons...and some jamming.

Beginner level, of course.

Sounds like fun...

Steve... Count me among the others who were big fans of your licks on Lost in the Ozone..... If you're around on Saturday nite April 4, here in Fairfax we got a great country music show at Peri's Bar, featuring Rusty Evans and Ring of Fire, Rancho Deluxe, and Danny Montana and the Bar Association......

I had the pleasure to meet her back in '68 or so...my brother-in-law was in a band called 'Moonrose Forest', and she was looking for a back-up band and knew a couple of the guys. She and her hubby came and stayed with us for a couple weeks in Santa Cruz, and that's the first time I ever heard 'Stran...

'We've Only Just Begun'..by the Carpenters.

Someone starts playing that, I take a break.

[quote="Stuart Legg" From what I gather here on the forum a steel player uses his perfect pitch ears and never plays out of pitch and only uses the fret markers occasionally to get within the ballpark if he is playing in an indoor football stadium with no lights in New Orleans after a hurr...

As a person who has sold retail and wholesale cables in many different places, I can tell you that Monster Cables will provide no measurable difference to the sound of your instrument, recording, nor studio. I can tell you that the SAME cable is sold by the SAME manufacturers without the excess pack...

Thanks, Garry. That's all great information. Sounds like you have spent lots of time studying and experimenting with the different string thicknesses.

Can you tell us how to order your strings?

Thanks,

Steve, you've got mail.

Gordy

Can you list the copedant, pedals and levers?

I just ran across this..I don't know how many of you are familiar with Charlie Haden, who played bass with Ornette Coleman and many other jazz artists. He started in country music, and his latest project returns to his roots. Please check it out..fabulous stuff. Make sure you watch the video....Jerr...

"I'll never get over the first time I heard greats like Lloyd Green and Jay Dee Maness on "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," Tom Brumley on "Together Again," Rusty Young on "Grand Junction" or Buddy Emmons and Sneaky Pete on everything they ever played on." I think yo...

There was a thread earlier about the oldest instruments....this seems applicable. By Rossella Lorenzi Discovery Channel Stonehenge was built as a dance arena for prehistoric "samba-style" raves, according to a study of the acoustics of the 5,000-year-old stone circle. Using cutting-edge te...

When I was in high school I got interested in becoming a DJ, and at the time FM had just begun to play rock and folk kind of things. I took classes, had a late-night shift, and had a lot of fun. Then I met the #1 AM disc jockey at the time in the area (SoCal) and he introduced me to the hard realiti...

Is that a 'Franklinstein'?

What's the co-pedant?

Zeke: Don is correct. My life changed for the better after I had the cataract surgery. Zeke, I was (for all practical purposes) nearly stone blind from cataracts in both eyes. Take this advice, if you never listen to another word I say: "Go Get Implants" (Man made lenses). I know it sounds...

Are there ANY retail shops in the SF Bay area that have pedal steels in stock?
