The Steel Guitar Forum

Save one for me. I have become another wannabe of
Terry's playing. It just gets better and better.

Maurie

Well done Warren,

Nice to see all those happy faces.

The music is coming through clear as a bell.

Thanks for the heads up on this I will be returning
to the site from time to time.

Maurie

That is so nice Roy
Thanks for the TAB. I will use it tomorrow to refresh my waning interest.

Maurie

A great job on both. This we have come to expect as always
from your recordings. Thanks for posting this for us to enjoy.

Maurie

Well that was really scary news. Phil is one of my favorite players. I am soooo glad that the story has ended happily.
Many thanks to you Rick for bringing the story to our attention.

Maurie

From what I have heard so far (Sleighride)you have it nailed Gerald. This should help
to inspire all of us to pursue higher and greater things with our steel pastime.
Maurie

Two thumbs up Rick. This is a keeper for me.

Thank you very much for posting the links.

Maurie

Wow!! What a demo of how much added flavor and body a mere lap steel can add to a simple rendition when it is played by a
talented guy who knows what he is doing.

Go! Go! Gerald
Maurie

I use Jagwire strings that I order from B0b. My guitar scale is 24" and I have been
able to use a .014 gauge for that top G for over three years without breakage and I get
a fuller sound. Maurie

Yes, as usual.

Hi Ian,

As you well know I have been a fan of both
you and your father for the past fifteen
years. During the convention at Joliet I
regularly attempt to emulate your playing
of songs from your recordings.

Welcome to the forum Ian from an Ufton
wannabe.

Great news Kay,

Go for it. I for one will be rooting for you.

Maurie

Andy, I ran that C6th tuning for a while
this morning with some very interesting
results. Thank you for posting it. I think
that I will get a lot of mileage out of it.

Maurie

A special welcome to fellow Illinoisians, George w/entourage, and Craig. The event gets better with each passing year. We have enjoyed meeting newcomers of all ages. Quite a few younger players have begun to attend during the past few years which helps to ensure the group's future success. When you ...

Dwayne,

Kevin, I have been using the "G" on top for several years now on my main neck. My guitar is a "Cougar" D8 with a 24" scale. After starting out with .011" strings I found out that when I order Jagwires, from right here on the forum, I can use a .014" gauge for that ...

Hi Phil,

I have it but when I try to send it via
E-Mail it is rejected. Perhaps if you
send me an E-Mail it will accept it in a reply message. junod@core.com

Great pictures Gerald, thanks much for all
your fine promotional work for HSGA.

Roy, Many thanks for your kind words. We are
truly blessed to know these fine people who
are members of the HSGA and the SGF as well.

Maurie

Hi Rick and Howard, Thanks for the kind words. I try to greet each of the new comers personally, however, I did miss B0b. Howard, I see that you caught him in a snapshot though. Looking back to my first HSGA conventions there were many members who made it a point to greet me and to give me encourage...

Hey Rick, what great news. I am really looking forward to meeting you. We have some common interests. When I read of your steel building exploits it reminds me of my own. Only it was about 40 years ago. Howard, I am looking forward to meeting you too, although with apprehension, since I don't know w...

Jeff, I'm just an old Geezer who is still working to be able to play like my good friend Duke Ching, as well as many other artists who I call my heroes. The above post reflects that this was my earliest encounter with Jules' style of playing which captivated me at the time and still does. I don't pr...

Hi Guys, Just to mention that I am now on my second set of Jagwires (one set per year)and found out last year that I can use a .014 gauge on my top "G". This gives a thicker sound than the former strings using only a .012 gauge without breaking. My guitar is a Cougar D8 with a 24" sca...

Thanks guys for setting me straight on who my true hero was. All I have heard about Jules Ah See has been inspirational and I am proud to have been under his influence even if just through a recording. Derrick Mau sent me a clipping VIA E-Mail to further verify your posts. Jeff, I am looking forward...

Yes, I believe he was a great steeler. Sometime back there during the fifties I purchased an LP by Capital entitled "Hawaii Calls: Favorite Instrumentals Of The Islands" with Al Kealoha Perry. Presented by Webley Edwards. On the record label it says Arr. by Webley Edwards, The Hawaii Calls...
