Forgetting how to think young. Not being as open minded or except changes. How we dull on things will effect our playing more than our age.

Sylvester Weaver: http://youtu.be/plsT3v5tlg4 Back in 1955 when I started to learn "the Steel Guitar Rag" I got recordings by Jerry Byrd, Leon and even Chet Atkins. I never heard the name of Sylvester Weaver from the 1927 recording. You think the Opry would have had him on. Back then you ...

All I can say is-Neither one used a STEAL (steel) GUITAR when they played it.

.And with Steel Guitar you get a train whistle free of charge

WHAT is Country Music? What is Country? Country is all of us living under the same roof,no matter what country you live in.Why did people start calling what your calling Country music in the first place? It seems as if some of us are trying to divide us even when it comes to music. Write your congre...

My choice is the Isaacs pedal (raising 5 a step and 6 a half-step). Great for a 4 chord with a 5 in the bass (strings 10,6,5,4), as well as a useful major seven chord over strings 6,5,4 and 3. I also have that on my 4th. pedal but added a 5th. pedal that works with it. 4 and 5 giving a E6th. http:/...

it's the corruption of the genre For me, it is all a corruption of scots-irish music introduced into the Appalachians by the Irish migration, but that is neither hear nor there. I'll ask you Greg: which act under 30 do you think is playing the genre correctly but was overlooked by the Academy? I gu...

The Dixie Chics are a perfect example of someone who should have kept their mouths shut. Look where they are today. Went from the top, straight to the bottom. People spoke with their wallets and look what happened. They got exactly what they deserved IMO... True-- But, Other Country music singers a...

I tell them it's my MACCORINI MACHINE( Rotini).
I wonder if Bassoon players are asked the same thing? I could see someone asking a Bag Pipe player " Is that a Octopus your playing".

I just called the casino to cancel my complimentary tickets to see Clint Black's one man show. He is performing without a band. Rather than seeing a man strumming a guitar and playing a harmonica--even though it is Clint Black--I will go to the local Legion and see a full band.

Years back up here in Westeren New York you would get about one hour a day of country music on the radio,Jamestown radio. We had to try and get WWVA or WCKY on a clear night.All on AM radio. If you had the money you could buy the records at a record store( NO Wall- Mart :cry: ). There where acts fro...
