Andy, As a beginner in the early '70s, and three years ago, and back at it again now, I can say that these coated picks remove one more stumbling block. Since I'm trying to build technique up from ground zero, I'd much rather be tugging a little to pull comfortable picks off, then to be constantly p...

Paul, I like your site. A bio, some tabs/chords/clips. Nice! I'm still in the early stages of reentry into the PSG world. (originally in and out between '69 and '75) I'm learning and absorbing everything I can. The information now available through the internet is mind boggling. I've seen the guys w...

Buck, I caught the show last year at Chastain Park in Atlanta. I had figured that between Lyle and K.D. Lang I would get my money's worth. What I didn't expect is that I'd be bitten by the steel guitar bug again after being away for more then 30 years. You may have only been out front on two or so s...

Walter, Thanks for sharing word of this show. We took Pete's advice, got to the Station Inn early and found some fantastic seats. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix/6627_Lloyd_Jen_Peter_080321a_1.jpg Before making the trip up, I knew seeing Lloyd would be a special treat, but the rest of the fol...

Can anyone give me some advice on shows at Station Inn? I'd hate to drive up from Atlanta only to be turned away because we arrived late for a sold out show, or some other wrinkle.

Thanks in advance, Mike

I've played mostly electric bass for the last 40 years. Played an old Sho-Bud permanent and Dobro in a Poco/PPL cover band in the early '70s. Had a fretless bass for a few years in the late '80s. Didn't get the PSG bug again until about a year ago. Picked up a Carter S12-U a few months back and have...

Hi Frank,
I saw your post from October 1st that mentioned posting the tabs to the forum. Is there a link that I can follow to that, or should I be asking to be sent a set to AxialMJB@yahoo.com?
Since I'm getting back into it in U12 land, both E9th and C6th look appealing to me.

Thanks, Mike

If the guitar hasn't been sold yet, it may be what I'm looking for. I attemped to try a Carter Starter at a local music store today, but without the lift kit I couldn't get under the thing.
