Congrats David...let the BIG Tuning Wrench I mailed you today serve as a symbol/reminder of reaching this milestone!

Just an observation, but I bet the RAINS folks are getting real busy these days!

Looking forward to receiving your Orange Blossom Special CD and Tracks...Keep up the fantastic work!

1/4 million. WOW!!!!!!! I started counting to that number and only got to 21 and run out of digits!

By the way David, I've got everyone of them in my David Hartley folder. Guess you can tell who my favorite steel player is. By the way, Keith sent me a nice e-mail. Thanks Keith and thank you David for all you do to us steel nuts. Ray

So, really only about 8 people actually saw them, they just watched them a bunch of times.

Ha! Congrats!

David, my man, I am so happy for you! This milestone comes not as a surprise but a great acknowledgment of a job well done.

Just wanted you to know...My wife and I went visiting the last 4 days...an 8 hour drive each way..I brought along both of your Cd's. I played them a lot...it is great traveling music!

Also, Judy is not a steel guitar lover but she is a great barometer for what sounds good. When I slid your Cd into the player she said "Now THAT I like! It is lively and I enjoy listening to it"

When you reach a million do you get a gold hard disk ?

Bernie Gonyea · Post by **Bernie Gonyea** » 10 Apr 2008 5:19 pm

Hey Bent; Keep on playing those Dave Hartley CD's and Judy will become a lover of the steel guitar, before you know it. And no better a teacher than our buddy, Dave. I'll bet she likes " Things". Bernie

Gary Preston · Post by **Gary Preston** » 10 Apr 2008 5:32 pm

No wonder David . You are a great player and should be heard . Now when are you moving to the U.S.A. ? Somewhere close to Columbus Ohio !! Hah - l.o.l. Gary .

Mike Poholsky · Post by **Mike Poholsky** » 11 Apr 2008 8:20 am

David thats fantastic! You are an excellent player. Very clean and precise, and you look so relaxed. Always a joy to watch and listen. My wife and I both loved the delay demo you did with "8 Days A Week" on it. We have listened to Dougs playing for years. Very well done. Thanks!

Bravo David,

That's how I discovered this forum, by checking one of my Youtube subscriber's space and there was one of your videos. I was then directed to this fascinating forum by I think a link on your video.

250,000, It's a milestone I havn't reached yet (only 193,000 so far in almost a year), if you have time, you can check my Youtubes by typing
"ABELKHIN". I never expected my version of
"Maria Elena" to be the highest ranking one on Youtube (46,000+ views), but it really doesn't mean much.
I wish I could do the same with a steel guitar.
It would probably take another 20 or 30 years at least.

Congratulations again,

Best Regards,
Abel
