Joe , thankyou for mentioning my name, its nice to know im still thought of. I'll give you lessons if you want. Let's not forget another good friend of mine here in Ohio too , John Call has been with PPL for years and years.

Mike , I'll have to ask about that, But i do know they have an official web site you can go to.

I'll have to ask. And you are right!!, she's great!

I got my good friend John Call to come to our O.S.G.A. (ohio) Steel guitar jam on the 18th of sept. And he sat beside me and he sounded so wonderful , he picked great!. And his wife (Andrea) sings beautifully!!! , you couldnt ask for a better couple. so just to update y'all , hes still touring quite...

Gary , im sure glad you are better ole buddy!! .I also had a fantastic time at the last Jam. It took alot of talkin, but im so glad i got my good friend John Call, (Pure Prairie League steeler), to come up and sit in with us. It was a huge honor to sit next to him and have him pick with us. I sat be...

Ill eat the fish , you guys do the pickin!!!!

This is such sad news. Phil was such a nice person and he really enjoyed his music. Just not too long ago he and i were talking about getting together and catching up. He will be greatly missed. My heart and prayers go out to his family. Ive known Phill since the very early 70s. "Rest in peace ...

Kenny , it would be nice to see you there , I figure you've had my Red Emmons long enough!!!

ok fellas , sorry it took me a while to get back to you on Moons 2nd Pedal . It does absolutely nothing at all!!!

Hey all!!, looks like i'll make this one too!. I enjoy playing at these jams. Its great fun and good food and i really enjoy getting to chat and sit in with all steel pickers, it always comes around just in time to blow the rust off my fingers once again!. (they do tend to get a little rusty). Every...

Ethan, You're right about his outside neck , I talked with him last night and he said its just a G dobro tuning. Also the chart that Dean submitted above is in Moons own hand writeing, and its the same as always with the exception of adding another kneel lever that they put on his G.F.I guitar. By t...

Ebb, I talked to Moon today in length about that old home made guitar, it wasnt the changer or the construction of the guitar , but Leo was curious about the sound Moon got out of it. It was completely home made of Ash wood and the pickups were out of an old magnatone guitar. (those consisted of 2 p...

Chris,

I'll pull it out of the case and look.

Dean, There were 3 ShoBuds built for Ralph by ShoBud. One other ShoBud was built by Bobbe Seymore. There was a brown one and Marty Stuart has it. There was a green one and Buddy Jennings has it. There is a black one built by Bobbe and Fred Jack has that one. I have the last black one that Shot gave ...

Hey Gary , I told ya it would grow!

Hey gang , im gonna try my best to make this one. I havent picked in a while. Sounds like alot of fun.

i have 2 of the old ones,i can dial it up any way i feel that the song requires. Its very quick and simple to change between songs. It gives me an excellent slide sound. The new ones arent the same.

wow, sorta looks like the old super pro that Moon played (except i have THAT one sitting here beside me and someone would have to pry it from my cold dead fingers) , Its the last one Shot ever made for him.
