I'm the newest member of the Forum. I have been a steel guitar fan since I was a little boy.
And still have my first steel, a Carvin Console D6 new in 1975. I paid about $175.00 with case.
My uncle, "Smokey" (Al Gillyard), was my biggest influence. He played some for Hank Lockin, and wife Dixie sang and played guitar. He showed me a lot
I am a nonpedal fan but like, and have a lot friends playing, pedal steel.
I like trying different tunings and like the A6th and E7th the best.
A good friend said it was time for me to join the Forum and here I am. He was right of course.
This Forum is great. So far every question I have had, I found most of the answers here
The information here is fantastic and I thank all of you for sharing your knowledge us.
2007 was my 1st trip to ISGC. WOW!
You Friend
Jim

Hi Jim, I enjoyed meeting you in St Louis last September.
It's nice to see you on the forum!
A6 and E7 are my favorite tunings too . .

Well it's about time you got on the Forum
Welcome Jim
Looks like we are going to need some pictures of that Carvin. It is a good looking Steel Guitar.
Hi Rick
It took me almost a year to get him on the Forum.
See you in St. Louis if not sooner.
Danny

Welcome aboard, Jim. I'm kind of on a tuning merry-go-round right now. From low C6 to a couple of different versions of high C6 and it looks like I may end up with some A6 as well. I'm beginning to understand what multiple necks are about, I think.

Welcome aboard, Jim.
It's always nice visiting with you at the Manasota Steel Guitar jams. We have to miss some of the jams due to baby-sitting commitments, but we will probably see you again before too long.
Email me a picture of you and I'll put it on my web site.
