Gary Carter playing "Sweet Memories"
I hope everyone got a chance to hear Gary Carter's rendition of "Sweet Memories" which he played on The Marty Stuart Show (aired 4/30/11). As usual, Gary's playing was superb, and he happens to be a great guy!
If anyone recorded the show, please upload the clip!

Gary's Tone
What happened to his tone? It was terrible

KYLE .......
The tone sounded excellent thru my TV tonite . I'll watch it again Sunday morning and check again . Then probably Monday afternoon also ....... it was that good.
It wasn't "Papa John" , but it was really good .

Kyle....
no need for apology !
Others have stated before on reception of the "Marty Stuart Show" before as uneven quality . I took your comment as that anyway .
Whether it's "Dish" , "Direct TV" or whatever you have in your locale someway , somehow might sound different than mine .... not to mention equipment or set-up .
I just thought he sounded great ..... AS USUAL ! ...
tone & licks .
I saw another thread on the forum from Kevin Hatton (I think) on how great it sounded .... and Kevin is in the same NorthEast area .

Everything coming through your TV is digitized, and the less "units" that can be used to send along a signal, the cheaper it is. It's the same process of cheapifying that makes Mp3's cheap and awful, except: on a TV broadcast, the national provider is trying to use a few units as possible, your regional carrier is "stepping on it" again, your local provider is cutting it down again... a few years back it reached the point here that "American Idol" became unlistenable here in Maryland, as the various FOX-affiliated way-stations had stepped on it so much it came out like tuned static. Surely, this process applies to Marty's show.
They have computer algorithms running at all times, trying to adjust the amounts needed to carry an intelligible signal to the minimum necessary at all times. The internet is the exact same way, which is why it's a good idea to bang open four or five windows as soon as you get online, you're telling the provider to allocate you a bit more signal and it'll run a bit faster.... Whenever you see your TV picture breaking up into little squares, it means the algorithm "guessed" wrong. Or when Gary Carter sounds like he's using an 80's fuzztone with a 60's battery in it.... There's like millions and billions of dollars involved here over a period of time multiplied by the number of viewers. Don't even pretend to be surprised when a "premium quality transmission package" is offered for a hefty upcharge, they just have to make sure you're sick and tired of the low-grade signals first. My TV's been in the closet since 2006, gee I'll be sure to get it out then....

Great job on Sweet Memories
The tone on Sweet memories was great as was the playing of the tune..great job...I thought earlier in the show when he was backing Connie Smith that his tone was a bit thin but he had it right for his Solo and really nailed the tune..good to see a steelman get a chance to play a solo

Checking on the forum to see if other steelers caught Gary playing Sweet Memories and to applaud Gary and his excellent rendition,playing and tone.Also hats off to Marty Stuart for featuring the steel solo.Support Marty and his excellent band and if you are a player as good as Marty and Gary and the rest of his band then critique them.If you are a lesser player sit back,enjoy and try to learn something.

I'm gonna look at the amp again,
if I can catch the rerun.
The amp looks like its about 12" deep
and I don't think it had the narrow
lower panel on front....
