Steel Players in West Virginia

[Joseph Barcus]

Don,
ask her is she remembers the recording studio that was in a old coal house past Buckhannon. the guy had a cool 4 track and didnt do a bad job, if you could keep the birds from sitting on the roof chirping. she wrote a very nice song something about a poster bed this was way back there when she was like 15 maybe 16 years old.

joe, that must have been during the sage brush round up days. Wendy is talented song writer. I cant wait to ask her about that song. she's brains behind the harmony arrangements in this group. it's a thrill to be involved with brian, greg and wendy. They show so much love in their interactions with each other. Lots of respect and lots of fun. don

mike, haven't seen eddie cales for a year or so. that extended family of cales boys includes several musicians. joe cales played rythmn guitar on that album. there two other relatives who also play well on the reso. that all was recorded at my house on a tascam 246 cassette machine. i took the machine and all to doug ghent's studio in oak hill to get a proper mix down and mastering. he really needs to record again and get a good quality product. eddie is kind of a legend in these parts. don

steve k I don't know why not. If you can see it you're already there. Mike B. I got a call from a nice lady from the kanawa vally and later ran into her at the Kanawa jamboree who saw something in the paper about the Always Patsy Cline show I was in . She had a three page list of about every steel player in the state. I believe her name was Jeanne. I kinda thought she was aforumite fan. I bet Hook Moore and the other guys in the valley know who I'm talking about. A real big fan of steel guitar this lady. that was four years ago. Don
