The Steel Guitar Forum

The Emmons company had a room at the TSGA show. I heard several players giving it a workout. The new Emmons sounded like an Emmons should! I wish them all the best.

I got home from a gig last night and had a parcel. I opened it to find my paperback book copy. That's really early shipping as I was looking for September shipping.!
I just started reading it but it looks great!!Thanks for all your hare work Steve!

Several years ago lightweight steel covers were advertised on the Forum. It seems like they were made in Nashville. Does anybody remember what I'm talking about? I'd sure appreciate any help.

Dan my heart is broken for you and your family. I lost my only child a year ago July. The loss of a child seems so wrong. I will be praying for you and your family in this sad time. If I can help you get through this please email or send a private message. We will never get over our loss but we lear...

I had a dear friend Barney Horn who lived in Vegas and knew every steel player that came in to town. One day he called and asked if I wanted to go see Curley Chalker. Curley had just moved back to Las Vegas and he had a jazz trio with his brother on bass and a drummer. We sat less than 10 feet in fr...

1975 is when I bought a new Emmons student model from Lynn Wooldridge in Roswell New Mexico. I was playing guitar in the Lubbock Tx area. I worked hard on the steel for a week and took It on stage. I would put the Tele in my lap and play what I could on steel and the majority on guitar. About all I ...

I am a descendant (one of many) of the last Comanche war chief and the first US Congressman from Oklahoma Quanah Parker but so far removed that I could never own a casino.

Tracy, I played bass with "Jake Miller" at the Legion Hall in Lubbock every Saturday for a while. I sure liked him. Hot jazz band and I knew nothing about jazz. He put up with me until I learned the songs and the feel of jazz. Never traveled from Texas to California but closed Monday 3:00 ...

Duane

Richard, I will take it! I have a student who can use it.

Erv you are right. I learned a lot from that book.

Ray Price "The Night Life".
I didn't know what instrument was playing the intro but I knew I had to find one. 55 years later I still love "The Night Life" and still love playing steel guitar.

Dear Donna, Thank you for sharing yours and Tommy's story.Praise God he had such a relationship with Jesus. Your story really got me. We know God places special people where they are needed most. You were and are one special lady. Cyndy and I always enjoyed seeing you and Tommy at steel shows and I ...

Another kick in the gut! I met Mike in the '80's in Winnemucca Nevada Tammy was booked in for 2 shows on consecutivenights and I played a bar in the hotel we all stayed in, I enjoyed him then and alway enjoyed his comments on the forum. Rest in Peace Mike.

This is a hard one. The last time we talked Tommy was really positive. Donna we have you in our hearts and in our prayers.
Cyndy and Duane

Joachim: Yes! Buddy told me that he gave his last MCI
to Don Everly. I said I didn't know he played. Buddy said he did and we moved on to some other topic.
Never heard anything else about it.

So sad to see this. The Franklins were always so nice to us. The Franklin family will be in our prayers.

Boy what memories this brings back. In the 1970's Lubbock Texas was a hotbed of country music and was loaded with good players. My best friend Chuck Cusimano hired Bruce the summer after Bruces' junior year in high school. He was one of the nicest guys and a monster player at 16 or 17 years old. Chu...
