Thanks Al! Yes, it's a 1950's English Electronics (Valco) lap steel, and the tone control is conveniently located for playing the "doo-wah" effect... using the little finger of the right hand. That sound/technique is almost lost art today, unfortunately. Thanks again.

I love this thread and I love the web site too. Have you seen the style comparison section? I'm glad its a style comparison and not a style competition because I hate contests but I love a good comparison. The hard part is figuring out who's winning this comparison. Don

I just spent a very enjoyable time familiarizing myself with the playing of several Forumites over at Tilley's site. Great stuff, people! I didn't get to hear them all yet, of course, but I'm particularly fond of the following ones I heard today:

Ken Byng, Georgia (nice touch!)
Frank Carter, Once Upon a Time in the West (gorgeous!)
Jerry Gleason, The Common Touch (that's what I call 'Acceptable Tone' from a player with an Uncommon Touch!)
Charles Tilley, I Will Always Love You (fine touch and tone!)

I look forward to going back to hear more soon.

Thanks for letting me upload, Raining in My Heart from a steel festival I opened in 1983.
Hope to upload more from the set.
Keep up the good work on the web page Charles, Slim Pickins.

I know I shouldn't but I just gotta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just today placed a song file on my web site of a player in Poland, Artur Konwinski, that does just an outstanding job on a great song "Making Believe"

Folks, you just gotta go hear this one. From now on, I will try to keep my kool a bit better.

Charles: Thank you so much for allowing us to hear this fantastic version of " Makin' Believe " by Arthur Winkonski from Poland; what a grand version of an old Kitty wells number. The most beautiful rendition of this song I've ever heard. Keep up the good work, Arthur.. And thank you, Charles, for all you do to give us forumites a chance to hear several of our compadrees [ ? ] show-case their talents.. Bravo!!!..Bernie

Bernie Gonyea · Post by **Bernie Gonyea** » 9 Mar 2008 4:31 pm

I apologize for the miss spelling of Arthur's last name. Please refer to Chas.'s clip above for the correct spelling..Thank You, folks..Bernie

Hello Bro. Al: Can I put in my two cents worth of giving a well deserved compliment to a great non-pedal musician whom we all know as Bill Hatcher. I thought I had heard his best when I heard his version of " Way To Survive ". A mighty fine job on it but was just roaming around Chas. Tilley's wonderful web site and ran across Bill's rendition of " BACH-JESU JOY ". What an out-standing piece of music on a LAP Steel. You talk about versatality; this is nothing but fabulous playing, Bill. Congratulations.. Give it a listen, you forumites; you'll enjoy..Thanks Al and Charles..Bernie

John McGlothlin · Post by **John McGlothlin** » 9 Mar 2008 5:52 pm

Hi Bernie, I just listened to Bill Hatcher's song and it is totaly beautiful work. That song has been a favorite of mine ever since I first heard it played on an album by Doug Jernigan. Great job on that on Bill and keep up the great work.

Don McClellan · Post by **Don McClellan** » 15 Mar 2008 6:44 pm

Wow, Bill Hatcher's Bach piece is outstanding. Thanks for sharing that wonderful work. Don

Nic du Toit from South Africa posted a new song called "Oasis", a song written, I beleive by Ronnie Hinson, shortly before Kenny Hinson passed away. "Oasis" was recorded by the "New Hinsons". Nic turned it into a steel instrumental and included it in his Gospel cd, "The Lighthouse" cd. It's well worth a listen. Thanks, Mr. Tilley.......Steve

I just heard Larry Larrows "Somewhere over the Rainbow" on E9. It sounded real good ,nice sound, and some original playing and a little swingy. Nice guitar solo in the middle too. Did you do that too Larry?..Thanks Tilley for putting up this site..al.
