The Steel Guitar Forum

Well Barry, i found a version of TYC by the Hollies (Got it a while back when Limewire still worked) and Graham Nash's voice is obviouisly there (can't miss that one) so it must date from the period that Graham was still a Hollie. Perfect song...Jerry's part is played by a good leadguitar. But this ...

Thanks for this video, Glenn. Love this work. Strange things happen over here (Netherlands). There used to be times that people knew straight away what pedalsteel was, you just needed to say: Ya'll know TYC by CSNY and everybody would say: sure.(Or mention FBB and Sneaky Pete and people would say; w...

Thanks Steve,

I presume there aren't that many pictures of Jerry and his steel.
Hadn't seen this one.

Hate to say this but there is no picture for me to be seen.
What do I do wrong or have not?

Thanks a lot Steve.

Hi Albert, Yes, here is another Al Perkins fan. Though I admire many more great steelers, Al was always to me an outstanding player because of the subtle tones he made on certain songs. A good example of this is the song "Next time"by Dan Fogelberg: Here he repeatedly uses 4 tones to end a...

I have a 4cd box (With airplane titles e.g. Full Throttle etc) with Byrds history and a beautifull booklet included. This booklet gives enough info about band members/contributors and Red Rhodes is surely mentioned in WBTF and Going Back. Meanwhile I remember that Lloyd Green came that close to bein...

The Byrds did play a Dutch festival in Rotterdam called Kralingen. (Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIFplonFHT8)
and they were the band that really made the festival here! This was after woodstock of course.

Well Chip, considering the fact that on sweetheart, Chris was still playing bass and mandolin, Gram joined and gave us Hickory wind: then Chris and Gram started the FBB, so at that time, Dr Byrd and mr Hyde followed without Chris/ Gram, but in came Clarence and other personel: I'm not sure exactly w...

Byrd band members could often easily be recognised just by their personal way of playing or simply by their instrument. You can't miss Rogers 12 string, nor can you miss clarence's way of playing. The first 4 Byrds albums were a good example of this. Same was applyable for the voices: very distingui...

Who is singing the high harmonies in this album?
It is said that David Crosby wasn't a Byrd at that time any more, but there's someone singing the highs he used to sing.

Ronnie Milsap: Not that I care.
No steel in the entire song, and then the outtro...
Incredible!

Hello Jimmy, In 1977 I ordered a ZB custom through Dutch Importer Jan Visser and when it arrived, it appeared to have the same undercarriage system that is shown in your picture. Not the expected ZB system. I was not only surprised, but at the same time quite happy with this because it proved to be ...

In Bobbe Seymours video about how to properly replace string, they use a powerdrill peg winder.
Are they for sale? And I only have need for the winder bit. The drill is no problem...
I haven't seen one in the stores over here.

Are you sure you want to go to that area? I was there 2 weeks ago because my wife and I took a vacation trip through the alleghenies, we took the beaitiful skyline drive, went through the blue ridge and the great smokies and had a hotel in Gatlinburg. Just passing through! Gatlinburg is crowded, noi...

Hey Ivano,

What a beauty you have there!
You must feel very proud and lucky to have friends like Kevin!
Makes you wonder how the Emmons folks feel seeing this.
Good luck with it!

Ciao Ivano

Kevin, hat off!

Mr. Niehaus,

It seems to me you enjoy Ivanos position.
I resent that very much!
Tell me I'm wrong and I'll reconsider, but my thoughts are you sit there laughing about this situation.
The situation is in fact ridiculous but thats only because the Emmons factory's behaviour.

Everybody?????????????

Including IVANO??????????????????

Erv,

I don't think your book s gonna be a best seller.
People see through it too fast.

And - having beautiful pedalboards - they lived happily ever after.....

We out here in the Netherlands cannot begin to understand as how a company can get away with such an attitude. Then again, distances from customer to factory here are so short that - where ever you live here, a visit to the factory (to set these things right yourself) - would only cost you a day at ...

Bill, Your reply is as confusing as the beginstatement of your launched topic. In short: I simply do not understand it! It seems to me that you like to debate eloquently and there's nothing wrong with that when people can converse in the same grade of understanding, but this just is not the case! Si...

I am Dutch. Many Dutch people understand some English. I am a school teacher and I think I enjoyed a couple of more years of English language study than the average Dutchman (who doesn't even exist according to our crownprince's wife Maxima (Argentina born and now some 10 years with the Royal Dutch ...

Not too many emperors left...
