The Steel Guitar Forum

On last week's Hee Haw Show, was that Sonny Curtis on the steel? He is a fine person.

I'm sure rubber would stick better than plastic. Maybe the hot rubber would melt the thumb picks when dipped?

What about thumb picks? I have trouble with them sliding around. I didn't have that trouble when I did a lot of physical work and had rougher hands. Paul Yandell suggested wetting the thumb. That helps a lot. I've had some success with commercial products to make the picks "sticky". For in...

First time I've seen her. I don't know how to put up links. It's worth a trip to youtube to see her play.

I've had an emailed inquiry in to my ISP for a couple of days now. No answer yet. Their person who answers the phone for trouble calls hasn't a clue. This ISP( local phone company) won't let any other ISP companies use their lines for DSL. Or, I wouldn't be with them. I'll keep working with them . E...

I got the tool bar to appear. I'll have to play around in the VIEW area. There are options on number of characters per line on the email page. Surprisingly, it makes no difference how many characters I choose. I've heard of Word Wrap. But, I can't find where it is referenced yet. Thanks for all the ...

If your text is overflowing the text area in a browser it is usually because you font size is too large for the form field to contain. Try reducing your font size when you type into a browser based email form field. In most browsers you can do this on the fly by holding down the Control or Shift ke...

Is "Windstream" the Internet Service Provider? or is it the name of the e-mail program? Windstream doesn't ring any bells for an e-mail program. Some e-mail programs are Outlook Express (built into Windows), Yahoo or Hotmail which are web based, etc. I'm might be using Outlook Express the...

When my printing of email gets to the right side of the page, I have to scroll to the right to see what I'm printing.
It used to be that the printing would go to the next line automatically.

I use Internet Explorer to bring up the Windstream page. So, I'm probably using Microsoft email program. Sorry to be such a dummie about this stuff.

I'm using Windstream , which is my server. They don't know anything about it.

When typing an email message, the typing runs off the right side. It didn't use to be this way . It started a couple of months ago. I did a system restore about that time to get Norton off my computer. Maybe that had something to do with it. But, I'm not sure it was exactly the same time.

Last week on Ebay, a Roland with a 15" speaker had a high bid of $102.50. Are they that bad?

I think the biggest thing about it is that it's something from home.

The folks on this site will forward musical instruments, sheet music , strings etc. to the troops in Iraq. http://www.operationhappynote.com

Your advise is very much appreciated. Many thanks to you and all others who have taken time to lend their expertise and experience. Paul

I'm in Newark.

Thank you very much for those names and phone numbers. I will feel confident in sending it off for repair. Paul

Thanks for the name. I'm leaning toward sending it off for repair by a Standel technician. Since it's a piggy back and the speakers are ok, it wouldn't be that big of a job. I also have a Standel Studio 24 that I'm using right now while the Artist XII is down. I used a Fender twin for 30 odd years; ...

My Artist XII has developed a loud hum. I'm reluctant to take it to a local shop. Maybe I've read too much about the special parts in them. Suggestions and opinions appreciated . Paul

Thank you for the information. I appreciate getting an opinion on whether this is a good site to get involved with.

Can you pick out a particular song by a favorite artist to download?
