The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks David for bumping this. The CDs have arrived and I will be shipping you 2 CDs today. Thanks for playing on these albums. You are simply fantastic and I'm thrilled to have met you musically. Now I look forward to meeting you in person someday and playing some tunes.

Thanks Jeff and David. I'm actually releasing 2 recordings on May 24th of this year. Jeff has recorded some tracks for me as well. Such a wonderful player he is. Next to add his touch to some tunes is Redd Volkaert. I'm sure you can imagine how much fun I'm having mixing the tunes.

Thanks for the kind words. Truly a highlight for me to record with the 2 Buddy's and all the other players on the Air Mail Special session. I'm a huge fan of the steel guitar thanks to Dr. John Lacey. We picked together back in the 80's and he introduced me to the wonderful world of steel guitar. Th...

Just wondering if there's a list of performers who'll be at the Dallas Steel Guitar Show this year?

Andrew, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad you like the CD. Have fun with it..

Calvin.....

Jeff & Mike, thank you for the kind words.

Hello All Just wanted to let you know that I just released a new CD in March called Country Fiddlin' and had the great Buzz Evans play steel on all the cuts and the 'Tele God' Redd Volkaert do the lead pickin' on all the cuts as well. For those of you, not familiar with myself, I'm a fiddler & a...

Man, did I ever enjoy your set on Friday evening in the main hall. You're a great picker and loved the humour. Hope to hear you again next year......

Albert asked me to sit in with the band for the Saturday Night Dance and what a thrill it was. Being a fiddler from Canada, to sit in with such a great bunch of musicians & Curtis Potter singin', really was a wondeful experience. Thanks to Albert for the invite and for Mark & Al for letting ...

I was one of the fiddlers playing with Brian Sklar, in 2006. What a great time we had. I came back in 2007 and enjoyed the show, big time. Glad to hear The Big E will be back along with Paul. I heard a rumour that Lloyd Green might be there as well. My fingers are crossed.

I've been to the Dallas convention the last 2 years and looking forward to next March. Has there been any announcements as to who might be playing main stage in 2008? Can't wait.....

Yesterday & today, when I go to watch a You Tube video, all I get is loading (on the little tv screen)and never get any video. Is this just my computer or are others experiencing the same trouble? I re-booted my computer, also checked on another computer in the house & same thing.

I was there last year and had a great time. I'll be there this year as well. I arrive on Thursday afternoon and leave on Monday morning. I'm going for the music but I'm sure I'll enjoy the temperature after the long cold winter we've had up here in St. Paul Alberta. -20 as I type my message.... Look...

Will this DVD be available at the Dallas show? I'd love to get it when I'm there. If not I'll order it.

Feel free to delete this posting. I no longer own the amp so a setting is not important...

I purchased an Evans RE200 Hybrid w/Tube Pre-amp last September and have played 2 gigs with it. 200 Watts and 32 pounds. Gotta love it. I paid $1760.00 CDN (including tax) for it. I'll let it go for $1550.00 CDN. I'm not needing it anymore. If anyone is in the market for a dandy Evans amp, I got one...

I've been wanting to go to this for a few years now and this is my lucky year. I'm a fiddler from Alberta Canada, but a huge fan of Steel Guitar.
See you there!!

If you decide to let the room at the Harvey Hotel go and you got the good Jamboree rate, I'd take it from you for sure. Send me an e-mail and let me know if you want to let it go. I've been hoping for a room at the Harvey and they tell me it's sold out. I'm there from the 9th to the 13th. ----------...

If you're wanting to give up your room at the Harvey, let me know. If you got the good Jamboree rate, I'd take it from you. I need it for the whole weekend starting Thursday night right through to Monday morning. Send me an e-mail and let me know. ------------------ Calvin Vollrath www.calvinvollrat...

I'm a fiddler from Canada and have recently bought the new Evans 200 watt amp. This amp has tubes and weighs 32 pounds. Gotta love that!! I'm wondering if there might be any fiddlers out there that have used this amp and what their thoughts are. What settings might you be using? By the way, I'm goin...

I'm going to Dallas for the convention & I'm a member. I might be interested in the suite. Give me some details, if you will.
