The Steel Guitar Forum

I've successfully used fabric paint on more than one Rickenbacher. They fill the hole nicely, harden and stick in place. One can barely tell they are not original dots.

As a youth, I've played more than my share of 'freebies'......, places like The Oregon State Penitentiary, Oregon Youthful Detention Center, a host of Orphans and elder car facilities, Old Folks homes for various LODGES, etc. In later years I've discovered more older musicians playing with a strong ...

My favorite amp has turned out to be a FENDER Pro-JUNIOR .......followed by an Epiphone Electar-1965, VOLU-TONE-150M (I believe it is), A Peavy LA-400 12 inch and several other vintage 8 inch speaker amps. The smaller amps that are olde seem to blend well with the circuitry of my many Richenbachers...

Where's the photo's from your last gathering get together?

Those of us unfortunate enough to not be able to attend are still very much interested in the attendance and what all took place.

How 'bout it?

On the left side margin........is a simple index. In that index , there are about a dozen choices one can make. Among those listed , is JERRY's PHOTO's. One click and the entire 80+ photo's magically appear. These are photo's that are either of JERRY BYRD or places that relate to his career in one ...

The last two days, everytime I go into my email, the
ESPN motion site comes up and won't go away. I have never used this site before. I have tried everything I know to get rid of it. HELP

Those album covers are misleading to everyone. JERRY BYRD told me that one of his finest albums, "Hawaiian Beach Party" was held up for more than two years before it was released. On another album I've seen, the cover photo has been flipped so the guy is playing a left handed pedal steel g...

Brian......
I'd suggest you keep and eye on eBay and/or any of the well known record re-sellers.

He was on all of Eddie Arnold's RCA rcord hits up until Arnold went pop with the big string orchestra.

Those records are out there an accessible.
Good Luck!

I'm hoping each of you will take just a moment from your fun-filled Texas schedule to drop by the D2F Booth and shake the hand of a wonderful friend of steel guitar and quite a steel player himself....TOM PALMER.......... I've had the pleasure of assisting Tom in his D2F Booth on several occasions n...

How's things goin' there in the Emerald Empire?

Haven't heard much from/about your in quite a spell.

Hope you're gettin' to play as much as you'd like and that you're enjoyin' good health.

Your kind words ARE appreciated.

If you'd care to see the actual group that cut that album, simply goe to www.jerrybyrd-fanclub.com/
and visit the JERRY's PHOTO page.

I've been communicating regularly with Mia Kuaana, Danny's daughter, who says her home was always filled with her dad's musician friends.

If your state or region has an established semi=annual or annual Steel Guitar Jamboree or Convention, might you be kind enough to drop me a line with all details? I'm anxious to converse with the hosting committee as I believe I might have a cost cutting, beneficial offer for them. If there are any ...

If you're going to be a SERIOUS STUDENT of STEEL GUITAR, you should be thinking in terms of getting the very best eduction available to you. By learning the non-pedal steel first, the original format, you will HAVE to by NECESSITY, learn the basics of what it's all about. If you wanted a pickup, I d...

My guess would be:

HOWARD WHITE of Nashville, TN

Was Eric's BROTHER in the audience on Sunday, Oct. 23rd at the Steel Jam?

I've been told by experts that "SIZE" is not all that important. The bar, of course, does not need to cover all 10-12-14 strings at one time. A bullet nose for moving across the strings is truly essential for the serious player. A length and weight that will allow the player the full contr...

From the first day I rec'd my 1972 P/P....8+4, I "KNEW" it was the greatest guitar I've ever owned. It arrived 'already tuned', right from the factory. A broken "G" string and a faulty neck selector switch was replaced immediately by the factory. Since that time, I've not had one...

For those of you that have expressed interest in the C-Diatonic tuning used by the late JERRY BYRD.... and yet have experienced some difficulties in truly identifying it...... You might want to bend an ear toward You Tube and the Jerry Byrd Channel hosted by Stein-Fredric over in Norway. He's recent...

Is there a COVER-Charge?

If so, HOW MUCH?

Thanks for sharing.............

http://www.youtube.com/user/jerrybyrdchannel New on YOU TUBE JERRY BYRD CHANNEL is an old Slim Whitman tune "For All We Know"........ Jerry uses harmonics for his one-of-a-kind back-up and SOLO...in conjunction with a foot volume control pedal that he constructed on his own and which opera...

Stuart......I'm beginning to like you more and more with each and everyone of your posts. Had it not been for b0b's SGF you'd never have been discovered.

Ain't life wunnerful?

Perhaps it's just MY imagination but.... why does it seem like just about everybody on the bandstand anymore, has this belief that "ANYBODY can play the 'lap' steel guitar" Didn't someone in the BEATTLES do it; the GRATEFUL DEAD; and a dozen or more bands? This LETTERMAN appearance , IMHO...
