The Steel Guitar Forum

Moby Grape, one of my top five bands. Got to see the original lineup once and other incarnations about three times. My friends formed a Moby Grape tribute band in the 70's called the Grapenut Flakes. The bass player was at SF airport and ran into Jerry Miller and told him about the band and asked if...

Bobby just subbed for me on the 8th in the Rhythm Riders and the leaders of the band were worried that he wouldn't do the parts like I did them. I said are you kidding me it's Bobby Black!!! He will do way cooler stuff than me. Definitely one of my heros

Chris was definitely the man around this area. Got to hang with him a couple of times. Loved the pedal steel and had a great snarky sense of humor. Will miss him on the forum. Rest in peace Chris

Hey Mark, I was at that show too. Thought they were great in every way. From musicianship to engaging the audience. That was my first time at the new Freight and Salvage. Great place, not a bad seat in the house.

Some people are asking why Jim would question JB's playing. I am glad he did because there has been a great response with great stories and samples of his playing.

I would have been up for that but I can't that night

Hang in there Chris. Hope things turn out well for you

Starts at 9PM . backup band and guest singers. GO to Dave Zirbel's facebook page. There is a poster for the show.

Had this up for sale awhile back. Decided to give it another try. All original. Everything works. The one neck that is a darker shade was made in a different month than the other 2 necks. $1200 plus shipping. The pictures speak for themselves. You can tell it has been around. Any questions ask here ...

Great show coming up with Joe Goldmark, Tim Marcus, David Phillips, Ian Sutton and Dave Zirbel. At the Sleeping Lady in Fairfax Ca.

Just letting steel players and fans know about a great show at the Sleeping Lady in Fairfax 12/12/13 9 PM. featuring Joe Goldmark, Tim Marcus, David Phillips, Ian Sutton and Dave Zirbel on steel guitars. Should be a great night!

Billy Bremner is a great example of a great player being a team player. On all the Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds albums billy was playing the cool parts and guitar hooks of the songs and some of the solos. Some great live videos of those days on you tube.

Ok this one might not be a rocker playing country. But it is a great album with Buddy Emmons playing all over the place. Nancy Sinatra, Country My Way

Nice playing Chris. I was at that show. It was about the 5th day of moving to Nevada City. Plenty of great songs and playing from everybody. Tell Vicki to put up more videos. Hope you are doing better.

Thought is was a great show. You can go to the Austin City Limits website and catch the full episode for awhile. Then they take the full episode off and show just a couple of songs.

Great job, great tone

A great player and teacher. Hope you have a great journey in whatever happens next

A well deserved honor for Lloyd. The man has done so much for Texas music in many different ways. Congratulations Lloyd

Thanks Jay. That was a fun show. I agree with you about JR's rhythm section. They were great. Drummer has been with him for 4 years and the bass player for about 8 years. Took JR. awhile to get dialed in. Venues are suppling the back line for him and he didn't do sound check. But once he settled in ...

That was great. Got to see Lucky quite a few times in the bay area. Always knew you were going to hear something interesting.

Thanks for the correction Jay. Are you playing anywhere around the area?

I just saw the New Riders last month in Auburn at the Auburn Event center. Great place to see bands. Has the vibe of a smaller ballroom. The band that opened had Pete Grant on steel. He sang a great version of Stella Blue by the Dead and did a great solo in that song. Sounded great all set. Then the...
