The Steel Guitar Forum

It is a large covered pavilion. They have tables and chairs, but since we might have a really large crowd, I would highly recommend bringing lawn chairs. And you could always use a steel stool in a pinch...

It will be at the Track Shack. Their website does not reflect that calendar change yet.
We are playing there tonight, so I will get the very latest from Doug and Buck.

Hello, folks. On Sunday April 27, Doug Boggs and the Cowboy Jazz Band and Buck’s Track Shack are putting on a benefit for the one and only Bobby Bowman in Spring, TX. Music will start around noon and go into the evening. Doug’s band will be the host band. Bobby was a member of the Cowboy Jazz Ba...

Thanks, Jim. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for the invitation. I'd love to participate again sometime. There's nothing like making music with friends.

I have to tell you that I have been wanting to come to one the SET club meetings for a while, and I'm glad I did. It was a ton of fun, and it was great to meet those of you who were there. One of the fun things I like about our band is when the guys play parts - steel, fiddle, and guitar. If I could...

Sure does!

Here are a few vids of Amber Digby at the Flag City Opry with Craig Schmidt on steel. Sure was fun.

I sure hope you do. Don't know what it would take to get you there, but it sure would be a privilege to pick with you again. I'll visit with Charlie about it.

I don't want to forget my good friend and great picker Randy Boyd who is a great steeler, and plays a mean guitar and harp.

Jody,

When are you going to come back and see us? Sure love your playing. It's a real treat to hear you play.

I've been checking out some older vids from Flag City Opry. Billy Mata was on the show, and we were joined by Jody Cameron. I love two steels (Ricky Davis and Roger Edgington have doubled up with Craig before, too). I may have posted this in the past, but Craig and Jody are worth another listen, IMH...

Billy Mata and the Texas Tradition, featuring steeler Roger Edgington, will be performing at the San Diego, CA jazz festival this weekend (yes, a Thanksgiving gig). Hope you guys from Cali can come down for a while and visit.

Herb! How the heck are ya?

I look forward to seeing you, my friend. Hope life finds you blessed these days.

Come on down and we'll give it to ya!

I guess it depends on how the drummer learned to play and what he listened to as an example. Show drummers play with lots of flair. Rock drummers are often loud and use racks of drums, cymbals, etc. Drums are mixed up in rock and pop recordings. Since that is the popular music of our times, young dr...

Billy Mata & the Texas Tradition will have three special shows on labor day weekend with one of our favorite swing singers and Timejumpers - Carolyn Martin. Accompanied, of course, by her husband Dave (hope he will bring his bass, too). We will play our stuff, lots of western swing, lots of clas...

You should also be careful not to let your wife know when you've bought another expensive piece of gear. That can also result in serious injury. Question: How many guitars do we actually need? Answer: Just one more Honey. I promise. This is the last one.[/i] Here's my approach, Mike. It may or may ...

Welcome to the life of a musician, Brett. :eek I have had musicians (not my band) tell me that on upright bass I can move around to adjust when I or someone else might be out of tune. Somehow, because I don't have frets, it's easy to just put it anywhere??? Kinda like putting the bar anywhere that f...

Ich bin im Facebook.

Craig is a fine picker and a fine man. I've had the pleasure of playing with him for many years, and I look forward to the opry every month.

Thanks for the offer, but I don't date girls from Arkansas.

D. Mudgett No Dave, I don't agree! You haven't scratched the surface pertaining to relevancies associated with this thread. You the English professor, would be thought of, more than I, as a person with executive abilities; including those that could easily dispose of reasonable views made public by...

Bill if you ever make lures for Bass I want a subscription. I'd like a subscription. For the record, these kinds of Bass lures work really well: http://www.uptonbass.com/catalog/images/blonde_std_front.jpg http://www.nortoncustoms.com/images/product/BC_shop_front1.jpg http://www.nortoncustoms.com/i...
