Sunday Tennesseean Newspaper-Steel Guitar Article
Those of you here in TN..did you see the article in the Sunday paper? It's about a 5 page article about the steel guitar..It was in the "Life" section. It was done by a reporter that attended the last SuperJam..Some great pictures..lots of history..and interviews with several of the players who were there. There were pictures in the article taken at the SuperJam. Some really good ones of Jr.,Robby, and Johnny and a neat picture of Buddy and Hal. It went into detail talking about the mechanics of the instrument pointing out how it works, and how difficult they are to play. It was a well written article and gave our instrument some long overdue press. They had some neat pictures of Johnny's triple neck too. Did anyone see it?

I called the paper,wanting to find out how I could use the pic of Buddy & Hal for the front cover of our next newsletter. They wanted $30,if you wanted a copy for your own "personal" use,& $200,if you wanted to reproduce it on any publication. Needless to say,we "opted out".

I guess that makes it the land of milk and MONEY, huh?
Pretty sad.
Are these SG Organizations non-profit? If so, did you tell the Tennessean? That may make a difference, but it's pretty shameful in any case.

OK so I won't have it in our news letter.I have a copy from my computer and I can copy that because it is my computer.Any thing on it is free to copy.The Rhode Island Steel Guitar Association is a non profet Organization and most of the money we take in goes to The Goslin Clinic in Boston Mass. for children with sugar Diabetes and the wish come true for kids.So you can see we are not in it for the money.We do it for the kids and to have fun playing our Steels.These money hungary Bs should rot in you know where.GREAD GREAD GREAD that is all it is.They are jealuos that the steel is making a big come back and we will make sure it does as dedicated steel players and Steel lovers.This guy Smiley in R.I. told me who is behind all this about putting the Steel Guitar down and the Boys won't run the steel guitar associations as there are to many of them.Now I went and put my two cents in the bucket.

I know this is an old thread, but this is a great article. What I would like to know is what song is Buddy Emmons playing in the video labled "Clip 2 Tearing it up..."
I've heard this song a few times and was just wondering if anyone knew the name.
Thanx
