Love it!

The reason for the season,
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Thanks John!
A really Great arrangement!

I'm grasping at straws here. Looking for a Tom Bradshaw produced cassette tape with a Q&A session from one of Buddy's performances. Might ask Mr. Bradshaw. . .

I took it to mean the Lead Guitarist nailed it. No reason to have a "I can do it too" moment.Sometimes heaven forbid ANOTHER instrument just "sums it up" "completes the tune" "says musically what needs to be said" etc. Hey sometimes (most times) :) it's us the...

Proverbs 25:11 say's: A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. This reminds me so much of Buddy Emmons. One of the things I most admired about Buddy was his "Impeccable" musical taste", everything he played "FIT" and enhanced the music. So many recor...

Beautiful... absolutely amazing!

Just saw this, brings back some memories. I bought a 76 model "Bi-centenial Marlen" from Ace Pawn on north May Ave in Oklahoma City in 1979. I think I paid $700 for it. Red White Blue, 3 pedals, 3 Knee levers, I called Leonard Stadler and he sent me a Knee lever kit and pull rods. Black an...

35 years of it. Retired as a troubleman last year.
Don't miss those Ice storms at ALL!
Hope the guys keep the lights on I hate to have to run my amp off a generator

Thanks! Larry, Not only are you a SUPER Picker...... I admire your *taste* *tone* *style* and overall approach to the "music".

'have had mine referred to as a "table harp"

How about Dicky Lee's "Strange things happen", or Patches. Lots of teen "angst" songs like "Teen Angel",
or "Where oh where can my baby be".

Thanks All,

Mr.Claveria is one fine steel picker. It would be nice if one of the "conventions" would find a place for him on their program. He sure picked up some "fans" at the TSGA.

Mr. Tanner is quite a talent also. I look forward to hearing these guys in the future.

Peavey room at TSGA Late Saturday afternoon in the "Peavey" room, I saw 3 guys playing some great "Swing" stuff. :) There was a fellow on an upright Bass, who did a little singing,and I believe Howard Kalish was on "fiddle". Who was the steel player? He played a laquer ...

Just saw "Charley Adair's" thread.

Don't know WHY it didn't show up in my earlier search...




good info there...

thank you too Dave!

I took my 112 out to play tonite, & was not pleased with the thin sound. Sounded great at the house. I did a search for settings: for shift, pre & post gain, presence, etc ..... Maybe I just don't know how to search the old posts...... :oops: Anyone have 112 amp settings they would like to s...

OK The topic says: What component of the guitar contributes the most to tone? "Tone" seems to be pretty subjective. :) Most have their definition of good tone, bad tone, acceptable tone etc... Will the guitar reproduce low lows, high highs? Sustain-duration? Bright? Dark? Does it acoustica...

Very beautiful Roy!

Mine is IDENTICAL to what you describe. SN# 16842
I bought it around 1982 or 83, was a "Demo" not sure how long it had been on the floor. I would guess yours is from the early 1980's also.

Q "Do modifacations hurt the market value of pedal steel guitars?" Probably to a "Pure Vintage" type collector. My kids can do what they want with my "Pro 1" after I'm gone, But since I NEVER plan to sell, I can modify all I want! :D (have a Super-Pro, better leave alon...

My Pro 1 has the original Sho-Bud single coil pickup. It sounds OK, produces an "acceptable" tone (reg. tm of Jim Cohen) :) Has the usual single coil noise. Nice little guitar to take out to a gig... But mostly I play my Fessenden, I really like the tone and quietness of it's Lawrence 710 ...

D-10 Fessenden, (Black, of course) best tone, stays in tune, great action/mechanics, and built by a Super nice guy too.

Have had mine over 20 years ..... Hardly ever play it tho'... Got a Pro I thats a LOT lighter to carry out to play........

I was at the Dallas seminar and found it quite informative. No it was NOT a Jeff Newman Seminar.Jeff Newman was an excellent steel instructor (I have lots of his material)and a great musician, but he could be somewhat abrupt and abrasive at times. Kind of a "my way or the highway"approach....

What Happened? I just lost the feed too!
