New to the Board and New to the Steel

I look forward to learning more about this animal they call Steel.

I am from Lubbock, but am living in Roswell, NM. I am working through Newman's PSG 101 (slowly), and hope to get some lessons sooner than later. Any recommendations on teachers in my area and suggestions for beginners is much appreciated!

Thanks.

I thought aliens were good at PSG?

Just kidding- welcome aboard and good luck!

Max,

Welcome, I'm from Lubbock myself, although it's been a few 100 years or so since I lived there. I still get back to see the family every other year or so though. Check out Greg Cutshaw's site. I've gotten lots of great stuff there.

Welcome Max - I'm still new here, too!

Good advice given re. Mickey Adams! Greg Cutshaw's stuff is excellent too (Rick, you beat me by 20 sec's with the link)!

Welcome, Max.
I'm still from Lubbock.
You'll find lots of aliens here.

I heard a guy in Lubbuck in the 70's who played so great that I wanted to put my steel in the pawn shop..His name was Lloyd Maines.

I was lucky to play with Lloyd for a few years in the Joe Ely Band back then and he was the best musician on any instrument that I ever played with. He's gotten known more for his producing since then, but I stood next to him night after night and watched just blow the roof off of every place we played.

My only claim to fame is playing in Joe Ely's first band, in hi school. We wore Beatle jackets.

Welcome to the forum Max, pray tell me, what is one of the Kerr Clan doing in Arazona?

Search the forum under my name and you will find free backing tracks to jam along with, anything under my name on You Tube is there for the asking.

Rick,I was playing with B.W. Stevenson back then...We did a lot of shows with Joe Ely in Lubbock,I might have met you?Joe had Tiny on drums,and I met Don Caldwell...he had a studio that Lloyd worked at,Stu

Rick Hulett · Post by **Rick Hulett** » 26 Jun 2008 11:59 am

Stu,

I bet we did some of those same shows together. We started out with just Joe and me, then added Lloyd, Caldwell and Tiny and a guy named Greg Wright on bass. I'll be damned, small world. Caldwell is still in Lubbock and runs the Cactus Theater now as well as his studio. Tiny passed away a few years ago.
