The Steel Guitar Forum

It has been a long time since I heard any part of that song - now I want to go out and buy a copy somewhere. Thanks for the memories!

I see where the number 47 came from - just went to www.bigsbyguitars.com and looked under history, and there it was - 47. I wonder if this site might be interested in hosting a page for bigsby owners? And a real list (I think Jussi has a pretty good one). Somebody would have to contact them, but sin...

I like some of the songs mentioned earlier, but to each his own! The one I hate is "You Light up my Life" - who was this done by?? Debbie Boone, Debbie Gibson?? Whoever?? I got sick of it after the 1st 3 times they played it on the radio, and I swear it was played about every other song wh...

I heard a very rock song of Janis Joplin's made into elevator music about 15 years ago. THAT made me feel old, and it sounded terrible, to boot! Can't remember which song it was, but they totally ruined it!!

Mitch - Haven't seen you at the forum much lately - hope you are OK. BTW - I am the nut that paid $123.00 for Billy Hughes Big D 45rpm record on Ebay, in case you noticed that listing. Now I just need to find the rest I'm missing. ------------------ billy hughes fan Billy Hughes faron young's bigsby

I used to LOVE the Everly Bros. - Grew up listening to them at my big sisters'dance parties. I always thought they were rock 'n roll. Guess I'll have to check & see if there are any recent CD's out there of them & give a listen. From what you all say, it would be worth it. Thanks for the hea...

It moves the post back up to the "recent" list, so anyone looking at todays topics or searching by date, it will be there with todays' date.

Just for a pedal? Wonder what my son's Bigsby steel would go for? If sold by weight, it should be around $300,000

The book is written by Diane Diekman: http://ddiekman.tripod.com/id8.html "I recently finished writing the biography of Faron Young (1932-1996). Tentative publication is February 2007, his 75th birthday." ------------------ http://members.cox.net/deb24076/images/billyhughesbanner.jpg

Frank- wonderful site and really great clips!

Thank you, Adam, that is nice. I would call it mood music, or relaxation music. Very mellow. I really like the Lion Song!

Walter & Herb- How can you remember all the names so well? Guess it takes a few years of practice, huh? I am trying diligently to familiarize myself with some of the greats from the 40's and there are so few photos of many of them, I have trouble associating a name with a face. Maybe if I keep w...

That is a great video! Can anybody name the sidemen in the video?

NICE! Thanks for sharing these - I'm really partial to Sweet Dreams. Steel sounds so sweet...

I couldn't get the third one to work - says the video is unavailable.

Mitch, I hate to keep bothering you, but you are the only one I’ve found that seems to know much about Billy Hughes. Three quick questions- 1-Did Billy own the Fargo records that he did so many early recordings on? Quote: In his final years, he was involved with a singer/song plugger guy that Billy ...

Mitch - Thanks for the info & memories. Sorry about the link- you have to go to the full cast page - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034289/fullcredits down near the bottom: Original Music by Billy Hughes Cal Shrum I would guess this is the same Billy, but not having seen the movie or heard the mus...

For Mitch Drumm or anyone else who may know: I have found a composer credit for Billy Hughes with Cal Shrum and his Rhythm Rangers on the movie "Thunder Over the Prairie" - 1941 - with Charles Starrett in the cast. see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034289/ I also have found a recording of a...

Thanks, Herb.

I heard he had been with Spade Cooley for a while - knowing the other band members is GREAT!

If you ever decide to sell that violin, give me a holler.

I meant to add that this was written up by my better half, Steve Mundell, but somehow it got posted without that comment. The Bigsby is soooo cool!!

Hi Mike, I guess Billy wanted to let the past be in the past. I agree that his country stuff is great – the only thing I found on the web for his later years is some copyrights on some religious music he did with Don Albright. Thanks for the link – I’ll listen while I’m at work hackin’ at the comput...

We own the Bigsby Steel in these forums that Lloyd Green played with Faron Young. My father Jerry Mundell bought the Bigsby from Gary Stewart in the mid-sixty’s, my father passed away last year and we purchased the Bigsby from my step mother Joyce, for our son Tony, to keep it in the family. Followi...

Mitch thanks for the insight - I never knew he did any films, I'll have to look for them. I have a show banner that was found in a basement in Prescott that I assume was from the same period as his Big D recording. I have collected many of his records - do you know if the Rocky Ship recording is Bil...
