Ted plays a Carter D10 but it looks like he's put a sticker over the Carter name.

I had asked him to put a picture of me on there.

Thanks Ted

If you look carefully it says Carter, but it's kinda blurr. Ted thinks very highly about Carters and quite rightly so. He also always uses either an Evans or Webb amp.

Hi Vern and Mickey : First time I've heard this gent; does a fine job at playing that " Crying Steel Guitar". Where is he from; possibly from your countrym Mickey? He does fine, whether he's on either side of the big pond.. Good seeing you on a post, Vern and Mickey. Mickey, you have heard my friend , Vern , play his MSA Pedal Steel, have you not..?? Vern, please post one of your U-Tube songs here on the forum, will you .Thanks..Bernie

Bernie,
I have some old tunes on Youtube with the MSA and Rickenbacker.Just click on more from VGHester when you are looking at Ted's fine playing.
My current tune on Tilley's site is "Sweet Dreams".

Hey Bing (Bernie)......Ted is from Mineral Wells Texas. He's a great internet pal of mine...at least 10 e'mails a day off him. He really needs more recognition...you want to hear his fast picking too, which he send me copies

.....Say hi to Kimberley for me

Micky Byrne · Post by **Micky Byrne** » 21 Nov 2008 6:25 am

Hi Vernon...that's sweet playing, and thank you for e'mailing me you playing "Sweet Dreams"

Paul Wade...Yes Ted did use a BMI D-10 before the Carter. He knew Zane Beck pretty well, I've also got pics of him jamming with Curly Chalker.

Ted plays beautifully and with soo much feeling. It sounded even better when I closed my eyes and just listened, due to the poor synchronization of the movie/sound

Paul Wade · Post by **Paul Wade** » 22 Nov 2008 9:28 am

micky,
i thought he was playing a b.m.i d-10. would like to see some of thoes pix's with him jamming with
curly chalker

p.w

Micky Byrne · Post by **Micky Byrne** » 22 Nov 2008 9:42 am

Paul in one of the early clips on here where Ted is younger yes it was a BMI....then he went on to a Carter. He's real good friends with Bud. I'll try find the pic I got of him and Curley and e'mail you...think i lost your address, so maybe e'mail me???

Micky, I'll if I can find it and mail it. Cury knew my whole bunch of limits and was a gentlman about the situation. And the geetar I was using had the pedal reverse from mine. Curly kept sayin, 'boy, you have guts'. Ted

Paul, Hope the picture came thru okay. It's something I always cherished.
One last favor to ask Vernon if he could put 'Home in San Aton'. It was a fun song for me. Ted

Here it is Ted.
Audio noisy for the 1st 30 sec's.

thanks ted for that pix of you and curly. man, what a treat it must have been to have curly in the same
room with you and pick'en

great playing on 'home in home in san aton
veron, keep it comming

Ted Solesky · Post by **Ted Solesky** » 27 Nov 2008 8:54 pm

Paul, you were correct about the BMI. I loved the geetar but admit it weight'd a ton. My hands are payin for it now. I've had 2 surgeries already and need one more. The only clip I know that Vernon may have is 'Faded Love' and ' Faded Blue Jeans'. I'll need to send Vern more $ for his troubles. Vern is a true gentlman. Thanks. Ted

Larry, to answer your question from our personal email, I was setting on 2 carpets and it caused me to be a bit unstable. Ted
