Jake Doell here in Vancouver playing one of Wayne Link's Linkons(Extended E9th)Playing since I turned 60 and truly enjoy being a
government sponsered steeler.Your tax Dollars
at work.

Hey,Leslie Welcome to the forum.Glad to see a fellow stubble jumper here on the forum.I was born just down the road from you(Hague).My cousin Abe is a fine steel player and lives near you.I've been playing steel since I was 60 and it has become a daily need,like vitamins. Good Luck,Jake Doell in Van...

Hey Bob.
Sorry I'll have to miss it again,but I'm
definely aiming for August.Say Hello to the guys for me.Tell'em I'm practicing for the
next one.

George,Have you thought about borrowing another tape machine that has the proper line out connections.A machine as old as that Revere probably had full track heads and the tapes could be played on a more modern 1/4 track stereo machine.If your tapes were recorded at 3and3/4 fps you could play them o...

Too much reverb can also do you in when it
comes to clarity.

It's been my humble experience that when
playing up passed the 12th fret,it's a lot easier playing in tune using 2 strings than
3 strings.Sometimes 1 string sounds great
especially when John Huey plays a single note
and slides to new position and plays it again.

John,If it's as good as the stuff I heard you play on a Roy Forbes album I have,and I'm sure it will be,It'll be great.

My favorite is "IDon't Feel at Home in your arms anymore"The tune is a bit of a hymn
ripoff,but maybe that's why I like it.

I've heard the term "slack key guitar" mentioned and
I have no idea what the heck it is.Can some one enlighten me?Thanks,

Most of those settings look pretty familiar,
however,I had to modify them slightly after
installing the Peavey Mod.

Keith.
How about a doo wa knee lever for those of
us that can't peddle and chew gum at the same time?

Having a friend with needle nose pliers
gently putting a bit of pressure and pulling
on the components being de-soldered sure
helps.Carefully studying the schematics that
come with the kit and pre-locating all the components to be swapped also makes the job easier.

Regarding the 912 pick-up,I love the tone
but where it really shines is the humbucking
aspect.If you're into recording you'll love the 912 as it's totally silent.

Most of what you guys are talking about is over my head,but it reminds me of playing a button accordian when I was a kid.You only had two chords and I guess the same thing
applies on a blues harp.Very interesting thread.Jake Doell in Vancouver.

The speaker # on my old'83 is104570.Is
this any indication of which speaker it has
in it?I can't seem to find any other numbers
on it.Thank for any info,

John; I had a half power situation with my 'Nash 400,and I went nuts trying everything and I finally called John Hurd,an old PSG builder and repairman.The first thing he asked was,had I been doing any filing or grinding in the vicinity of my steel? I had and so he told me to put masking tape over th...

Just a reminder on't let the Phantom Power
in a mixer or pr-amp get to your ribbom mics.

And as I kneel by her grave
Where the Blue Bonnets wave,
I cried but my tears were too late.

How about the Last Letter.A suicide note if
I ever heard one.

We had a steeler that came up to Canada
and played during the sixties and seventies
by the name of Shady Brown.He played a ZB
and eventually went back to the states.Anyone
remember him?

I am so saddened by Tommie's passing.
I played for Tommy one weekend years ago.
He was so nice and decent that I've never forgotten him.I think that maybe he was too
nice to make it in the business.I'll never
forget him singing "HIGH ON A HILLTOP"
Jake Doell

Can anyone of you give an E-mail address
for the Lemay mod.It sounds like my old
Nash 400 could use afew steroid injections.
Thanks,Jake doell
