Let's welcome Curt Shoemaker to the Forum. He's a real nice young man who has been playing steel for some time now, and does a great job on it. We've played some of the steel shows together and he uses a Mullen steel and the newest Evans amp rig which if I might add sounds great. Welcome Curt. You'll have fun on the forum and B0b runs a tight ship here.

Hi Buck, I know a steel player by that name and he is a good picker. But the "nice young man" don't fit him at all. Jody.

I met Curt at the St Louis show after his session. Like "Buck" said, his beautiful Mullen sounded like a million "Bucks"

His rendition of "Amazing Grace" was so beautiful ! ! Hope to see you in Dallas this March. Skip T[This message was edited by Skip T on 05 December 2002 at 07:25 AM.]

Curt, welcome to the Forum. Where is Ionai? Could I borrow a shovel & a scraper?

Buck Grantham · Post by **Buck Grantham** » 6 Dec 2002 4:26 pm

I forgot to mention that Curt got to play the main show in St Louis this year, so when I said he was young I didn't mean he was a beginner, far from it. He's been out there hitting on it for a good while and is playing better all the time.

Curt Shoemaker · Post by **Curt Shoemaker** » 6 Dec 2002 4:37 pm

Hey David,yes you can borrow my shovel.I understand you got alot of snow.Johnny Western over at KFDI,said it snowed a bunch.
The spelling of my little town, on the forum, is incorrect.It's Ionia.located near Mankato,we are about 23 miles south of the Neb.line in north center Ks.
Thanks David
