The Steel Guitar Forum

Nice post Danny. Wish I would have known you were in my neck of the woods as I frequent that establishment. Nice comments about Richard, all well deserved. Richard may not post so I will reply to Pookie’s question about Johnny Comeaux. Richard never met him nor did I. We heard he had passed on. Ha...

I wonder if I am one of Joe Rogers’ friends he referred to on his above post?? I was there with Junior Martin but sadly; we did not have a Kodak ('camera' in Cajun language). I even paid a $10 down payment for the future recording, which I do not regret as, this was a $1000.00 concert. I did have a ...

Bobby Terry from Houston and I believe in Nashville now as a recording engineer. I have a gospel 'cassette' where he played all instruments including pedal steel, lead guitar, fiddle, etc., etc. A great and typical Texas player that excels in all stringed instruments. Could some of our Houston area ...

David is correct. It is Rodney Miller, his son Ronnie on drums and the late Dick Richard on fiddle. Rodney is still working gigs around Lafayette, LoUiSiAna. Although the initials JM are shown, Junior Martin says he never owned this guitar.

Milton Guilbeau

Two things. First, I apologize to R.J. Buras for not showing him on the list. As you know, R.J. excels playing his Excel guitar. Secondly, gumbeau (gumbo) has been added to the mix. Mr. Larrell Richard will be head of the pot. He is well known for his gumbo and other Cajun cooking, great guy, great ...

We're lucky! From across the ocean, here is Lucky Oceans. On Wednesday, November 1, day after 2morreau, Lucky will be in for a mini steel guitar jam at La Poussiere's Dancehall in Breaux Bridge, LoUiSiAna. If you are anywhere within X number of miles from Lafayette, Louisiana, just come-on-down. Bre...

Thanks to all. A lot of good reading about Reggie. Age? I remember Phil Baugh telling me that he and Reggie were born on the same day - same year. I believe in 1936.

Can anyone help on finding recordings or information on Reggie Young? This will be appreciated as I cannot seem to do well on a Gooooooogle search.

Many thanks

Thanks Kelly Hydorn for reminding me of Ron Elliott’s version of this tune. At my age, I sometimes – or - always forget important things. It so happened that I had listened to Jeff's CD this week and it was fresh in my mind at the time of my post above. Now I have both, Jeff's and Ron's, "When ...

Charles, You've got to get Jeff Newman's CD, Once In A Lifetime. It could not get any better. This selection, as well as all the others on this CD, is priceless. Listening to this makes me miss Jeff more and more. Try it...you won't be sorry. Milton ------------------ "One never retires from mu...

Boo, Here I am...a middle man...passing on to you via the SG Forum, the kind words from a kind lady, your mother-in-law. Your LoUiSiAna connections are indeed proud of you. Your honor last night is makin' a new Steel Guitar Forum member, Jo Frances Greenlaw, but she could not wait for the 'paper wor...

Hi Bob/Boo, Your wife's cousins here in LoUiSiAna were already very fond of you, but with this, now even more so. I have already told them about this honor...but I can't promise you that they will see the movie though. Congratulations from us 'LoUiSiAna Kajuns'! ------------------ "One never re...

What's the latest? Who's a comin' or goin'?

Although we live one block apart and seldom communicate, this is the way to go now. Now be neighborly, my yard needs trimming. Congratulations for joining and we expect you to be a contributor to this forum. Maybe you can explain how you tune your instruments; 'wet' for Zyedeco and 'dry' for Cajun. ...

Those were kind words from B&B, Bill, Buck and others. The pleasure was all ours having you two on our ‘Fais-Do-Steel jam. A fun night in Louisiana is called a ‘Fais-Do-Do’, hence, I labeled our good time Tuesday evening a ‘Fais-Do-Steel’. Bill, you failed to compliment R.J. Buras, who claims he...

There is a neat site by Mike Masterson (UK) titled 'Gib Guilbeau Family Tree'. It shows the group names as well as musicians associated with Gib from 1951 to present. This site may answer dates, and names, in question. Very interesting. http://members.chello.at/country.rock/tree.htm ----------------...

Charlie, Do you have a list of the featured players in the order of their respective sets? Also, I am a little confused with some of the great 'backup' guys. Did you have two Busters? Is it one Buster as a first name and one as the last name? (Fiddler / Guitarist) Great enjoyment for all...and...all...

Paging Ron Page...and others. Terri Clark, Jeneé and band will be on the Academy of Country Music Award show tonight, 7 PM CST. I understand they should be on around the 3rd or 4th commercial, probably within the first hour. Let us all watch "JKF", Jeneé Keener Fleenor. (Did you ever see s...

Thanks Joey and Scott, I'm anxious to get your reviews as it may be some a week or so before I find time to install and 'fiddle' or 'steel' with it.

Has anyone using Macintosh tried GarageBand yet? If you have, what is your take on it? I have the new software but it will be a few days before I find time to install it. I love iTunes, Music Store, iPhotos, etc., and hopefully GarageBand will be a fun thing also. ------------------ "One never ...

You can download Alan Jackson's entire CD on Apple's iTunes Music Store or individual songs for only 99 cents each. iTunes Music Store is now available for Windows.

Dave and other readers regarding Buddy's jazz album. If you or a friend of yours would happen to be a Macintosh user, you can sample Buddy's Steel Guitar Jazz album. First, you must be running iTunes, and when opened, it should show "Music Store". You can then search for 'Buddie' Emmons wh...

Guess what? Jeneé wanted to be in St. Louis real bad but she was playing with Terri Clark in Anchorage Alaska, Thursday night of that weekend. It came close though...they drove through St. Louis on Monday (Labor Day) on the way home. Presently they are in London Ontario and she is enjoying every bit...

My 2 cents. If you have a hearing loss, I would highly recommend that you read the above by Peter Ivory, Audiologist. This message explains, especially for musicians, the actual facts about our various situations. Speaking from experience, my ‘PAIR’ of hearing aids I received from the VA last June a...

Mylos, I will email a couple of drawings and pictures to you in a couple of days.

Good luck.
