Whoa! Yeah, that's what I talkin' about! A great sound again, Bishop Hall! You get more with your single string picking, no pedals, than a roomful of steel players with clusters of levers and X,Y<Z>Q pedals. I love it.

as long as you don't break the mold Bish, you outta site

Hi Doug (Beaumier)
Coming from one of the most talented of steel players on this forum, I am really honored by your encouraging comment. I`m just glad that the language of music is so universal, that it transcends so many barriers, because it flows from the heart. Thanks again my friend. It means much.

My dear old friend! Always glad to hear from you!
When music comes from the heart, there is no mold, there is only love! That is a mold that can never be broken, because thats where the music flows from!!! Be blessed, my brother, and friend!

Bishop Hall.
I have just finished work for the weekend, switched on the iPad, and watched this.
You have put a smile on my face and I am sure it will stay on my face for the whole weekend.
Absolutely Fantastic.
Brilliant, I loved every second of this. Especially around 2mins 30sec when you was swinging your body and the webcam was slow at picking the movements up, also that little bit after that where you hit octaves.
If ever I am anywhere near you when I come to the USA I most definitely gonna come to see you.
Great stuff. I have been looking forward to your next video upload and you have really made my weekend get off to a great start posting this.

All the best
David Hartley

Hey Dave! (Hartley)
My good friend!
I`m glad to know that my "little hobby",(and therapy) , makes you feel good. That is why I do what I do. Probably, like a lot of the musicians on this forum, I`m really not concerned about making a million dollars,(or pounds, ), I`m just having "big" fun, and getting a bang out of presenting the different kinds of techniques that even the so called "Sacred Steel" community, can present to the "steel guitar community". It is a joy to know that music can be, and is universal. So I`m very happy to be a part of it. Also, for sure, if you are anywhere near me in the USA, I would be greatly honored for you to drop by. I`ll even put the "kettle on the boil," for you my friend for tea time! Thanks again my dear friend, for your encouragement, it means much!

Brother Hall, that was fantastic. It don't get no better than that. You rock ... from the soul. Keep it up. God has given you great talent of expression.

[Bishop Ronnie P Hall]

Bro. Bob (Farlow)!!
Hello My friend, good to hear from you!
Thank you, for your encouragement. Again, I just do the best I can. Maybe some of the steelers might get a kick out of it! At any rate, enjoy!
Be blessed!
Ron, (Bishop Hall)

Loving it my brother....

[Bishop Ronnie P Hall]

Hi Chuck!!! (Hall)
Sorry I`m a little late, I had a computer C.P.U. break down, and I have been working to re-install all of my work on another unit here at home for about two and a half weeks. I`m not finished yet, but everything is about back to normal. Thanks for your encouragement, my brother, friend, and namesake! Be blessed!

You've created a unique sound over the years that lies somewhere between rockabilly and rhythm-and-blues. Excellent. It's just the sort of music I love.

[Bishop Ronnie P Hall]

Hey Al! (Brookes)
You know, for the years that we who are supposed to be "Sacred Steel" players, have been playing, we never had a name, style, technique, etc., that we ever tried to identify it with. The majority of us just followed the tradition of using these instruments to aid the praise, and worship services, in our respective church environments. Then sometime along about the time of Bob Stone`s involvement in the research of his book, it somehow became named "Sacred Steel"! Well, whatever it became, it is what it is!
Thanks for the encouragement, and the enjoyment for us all.
Ron
