The Steel Guitar Forum

it's situations like that where it pays to have that second pedal steel set up and parked on the stage ready to go.

wow, thanks everybody. george owens. that's who i meant. some real great music was created then. thanks to lloyd and the rest for making it. i don't think it's gotten the real recognition it deserves. even the hits that were recorded are hard to find as i tunes and most cd's only carry re-recordings...

was wondering if anyone out there knows who did the studio work for dels big albums from say 64-70?

i think his guitar player was george lewis.

was his performing band the studio band?

thanks to whoever knows....

hey bobby, the welded corner mounts seem to be the giveaway. mine's got those too. or at least a version of it. the bent aluminum just covers a steel endplate system with the leg mounts welded in the corners. the changer system is all hand made on mine though and the fret board is just a piece of sh...

ok, thanks to one member, i now only need two....

hey bobby, here's some pix. looks much worse up close i asked the forum members if anybody had an idea who made it when i bought it last year. no takers. definitely home made though. i'll submit pics of the finished product when i'm done. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix0912/6224_brideunder_1....

hi folks, i'm finally getting around to doing a total rebuild of the "bride of frankendekely u-12". i'm trashing all the "permanent" components of the under-carriage and only keeping what's topside and the home-made finger/changer system. i've been slowly getting everything i nee...

thanx joachim....

hey olaf,
if you are coming to the states anytime soon, he plays every thursday night in woodstock, ny.

i just went to see him tonite. he's still an amazing banjo player.

as another interesting side note, when i bought my first pedal steel, a red "little buddy", i had been trying to get it to tune properly using the keith/winston book. i was having no luck there and thought that there might be someone who could help. i noticed in the liner that keith lived ...

hi folks, i had to share this little story and discovery. i was at a public book discussion panel in woodstock, new york on saturday. i only knew that an old friend was on the panel and he had been a new wave bass player 30 years ago. i didn't know who else was going to be there...i threw on a t-shi...

Didn't Conway Twitter?

i dunno. but i did hear that tex twittered.

sherman, i have only been playing the u-12 tuning for about a year so i'm no authority. i have the one i started out on with a 8 and 5. i got another one with a 7 and 6. i'm going to combine tunings whwn my hand heals up with a 7/6 config which seems like plenty of guitar for me. what is it that you...

thaks steve. that was great.

funny how much paycheck was muggin' for the camera.

seems kinda funny that the discussion is going on about how tasteful or not his playing was when all one has to do is look at the outfits or the set and realize that taste wasn't all that it was cracked up to be right about then.....

hey don. i agree about the machinist advice.

maybe in the future we can all benefit from this wonderful invention....
