Carroll, you know how after you buy a new car suddenly as you are driving around town you notice many versions of the same car as yours? I think that's how it is with an expression like "hub cap guitar" for a dobro. You started on dobro fairly recently, and you may have even heard it in p...

If I knew how to write to the show, I would. It would be nice to see some younger faces in the audience mix too.

Be careful !! I had an old National resonator Hawaiian guitar back in 1947 that I took apart and printed "Roy Wiggins" name inside !! I thought it was real funny !! I sold it back then for $10.oo and now maybe someone will buy it thinking "Wow , this was Roy Wiggins old steel and pay...

When I think of speed, I think of "NASCAR"! :) except this week.....there was rain to take the "speed" out of the equation......glad kenseth won....he is a nice young man...but, I sure wish they could have finished the race...seeems unfair to others.....oh well..rules are rules....

Carroll Hale

I really dont know how got caught up in all of this, but as I sit here eating my meager lunch, I have pretty much read/re-read all the posts on speed...some are quite long-winded and full of "2-bit" words (as I all them)...but as I stated earlier "quality is always better than quantit...

Carroll, You are an interesting writer, although I try to discourage and eschew four letter words. There are small percentages of readers who may be found raising their eyebrows at the sight of them. PLEASE point out the thread in question, if you would be so kind. Give me something to go by in rec...

Carroll Hale

bill, here is what duncan said in an earlier post... Hello Bill, When I think of speed I think of benzedrene, dexedrene, desoxyn, methylphenidate, benzphetamine, biphetamine and probably a few others. I'm just sorry that I'm a little too old to take any of them anymore. I hope that this answers your...

Carroll Hale

Carroll, I enjoy the humor, and your participation, but would you PLEASE direct me to where you saw those lines written. Something is amiss! I wouldn't go about squaring off with my fellow forumites. Thanks in advance, if you could do that favor for me. I surely meant no harm....just saw your comme...
