The Steel Guitar Forum

My heart breaks with you my friend, very sad news. I did not know Claudia that well but I was a witness to the true love between the two of you. I will never forget the care and attention you always gave her. You my friend are an inspiration to all of us as a true example of unconditional love.

This is from Scott's 1981.

I worked for Al playing bass in the early 80's. When I first started in July 1980 he was playing a Sho-bud. Then he got the Dekley, then the Sierra. Never knew what happened to the old guitars. I do know we never tore it down. We always laid it down in the back of a van. When he went gospel the stee...

Jerry as a bass player I was offended by the tone of this and couldn't think of how to respond. I appreciate your response. [/list]

The last verse: Then I wake and look around me At these wires and microphones that surround me Then I realize that I was only dreamin’ Cause there’s and engineer and an un-autotuned vocal track Twistin’ knobs he’ll fix the talent I lack And again I’ll shot a video on my green green John Deer tractor...

Bev I had a great time at the show last year and wish we could make it this year. Unfortunatly we can't make it because I'm playing bass on the Wheeling Jamboree the night before.

This is going to be so much fun being with friends for a good cause. Thanks Chuck for the invitation.

I look forward to this show every two years but I guess I will have to wait another two. Oh well.

I had the same problem with my car unit. Glad it isn't my radio.

Wish I could have seen you when you were here in Pittsburgh but I had to be out of town that date. Man I'll bet you are having way too much fun.

Satin Sheets is pretty high on my list.

How do you know if a girl singer is at the door? She can't find her key and doesn't know when to come in.

Although my main instrument is bass, which I play left handed but strung right handed, I own and play badly a left handed ShoBud Pro I.

Sorry guys but I'm in South Carolina that weekend. Have a great time!

Tamara - It will be great to see you there. Don't know if you have ever been to one of Mike's shows but its a treat.

Jim - Sorry you won't be there but will see you when we work the Wheeling Jamboree next week.

Jim - Wish you could be there. You did such a great job on the project would be cool to have you there live. See you next month.

My wife Bev Coldiron will be performing at the Liberty Bell Restaurant in Breman, OH this Saturday night October 16 with Mike Sigler. She will be singing songs from her latest CD that features Mike. The show is from 4 pm to 8 pm and is sure to be a good time. If you have never been to see Mike’s Sho...

Bob, I sent a pack years ago but nothing happened. He wasn't born in the state but lived there many years. I thought the rule was had to have lived there for so many years. Obviously I'm going to be biased but I think he was important in country music in that area from the late 50's until we moved t...

Hey Bob if you could ask them why Cliff Coldiron isn't in the hall of fame?

First - Thanks to all who have ordered the CD and hope you enjoy it. Mike, Herby, Danny, I so appreciate your comments. You guys are great players and friends and your approval of the the project means a lot. Knowing and working with each of you is an honor. Jack, Charlie Coldiron is my uncle, my fa...

A few of you have asked how you can get a copy of Bev’s CD. I put together a web site where you can purchase it through PayPal or a major credit card: www.coldironmusic.com You can go to the “Listen to Clips” page and hear small clips of each song. You can also go to the “Credits” page and see who p...

Rick - I think the lick goes:
Dee Dee Dydy Dody Do

Bev and I really had a great time. For those that missed the event, you missed a great time. As Joe described it was like a family reunion. Very informal and just fun.

Hey Ray - Tell Chuck I'm going to be there. That should be important enough especially if he plans to play Hotel California!

I have never been able to use my thumb or a pick unless I'm doing funk licks and with that I'm slaping. It's hard for me to watch a bass player play with his thumb. A pick can be good on rare songs that need an edge specifically rock tunes. I always eq with a little high end to give the tone a more ...

Hartley - Your work on the fondation of the project is amazing. There is only 1 song where you hit the toms and probably no more than 5 cymbal hits in the entire project. A lot of drummers could learn a lot from what you didn't do. I guess I need to find a way to make this thing avaialable. Mike wil...
