Thanks Bill,I owe it all to you,maybe or maybe not,could it be or could'nt it be,could I be right or am I wrong ? Really nothing of importance to worry about anyway.Got something MUCH more important to take care of. My main man THOMAS KATT just jumped in my lap to remind me it's time for his late night snack,He knows on Sunday night it's albacore tuna,one of his favorites. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Time trodden proponents of the advocacies pertaining to the advancement of knowledgeable intervals of consistent practice sessions, will eventually out of necessity, realize rather suddenly, that TIME plays no favorites among musicians. It is hoped that our most colorful rainbows will continue to glow at each horizon of hope. Maintaining a continued interest in many of our youthful pursuits, becomes an absolute priority.

Glad you cleared that up. But there is nothing revolutionary in your ramblings. Even an old illiterate neanderthal such as I can conprehend the fact that father time waits for NO-ONE.No matter if you are a steel player or a RoTo Roter man[which by the way pays a hell of a lot more than picking] So what is your point.

YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Charles,

Everything you said is true to the letter. We now know that intellectual differences have nothing to do with sustaining long-lived individuals. You can be as bright as a 100 watt bulb, or as dim-witted as a rhino, and still awaken to see the morning sun after 10 decades. It is suspected by some that musicians carry very well in advancing years. Music warms the heart, and I suspect its rhythm as well. The familiar complexities associated with advancing appreciably on the steel guitar are well known at this point in time. There is only one of a kind peculiar to exceptional differences in steel guitar performances. At this time, there is an impressive list of outstanding instrumentalists throughout the land. Each player has developed his own style featuring various clusters of embellishments, or musical nuances to melody lines. The popularity of the steel guitar has risen to new heights as of late, and is respected by our finest lead players on and off the stages.

So what was the topic about? Drifting so much it's hard to follow original posters meaning! Are you saying that if you are tired that it is difficult to practice? Sometimes hard to follow when written in such "flowerly" English. Why not write in plain simple english so we can understand your meaning to your posts. I would appreciate an unveiled answer without disguised implied threats also!
I think Mike Neer nailed it earlier.

Dana,

Perhaps your own personal experiences would negate at least in part your assumed feeling that I would venture beyond reasonable boundaries that extend beyond reasonable behaviorism. Your implied contention of some negative veiled threat is pure hogwash. I'm not lining up to impart words from some uncivilized part of the world. The thought of getting lost in some distant jungle, does not appeal to me. I do realize though, for some, as depicted on modern television programming, there are those who delight in going over the "edge", by taking risks that I want no part of. As we look beyond horizons, our futures are spread before us, like a huge blanket. We can visualize our music, friends, and managing our possessions to the best of our abilities. Preserving what is in our best interest should always be clear in every mind.

Bill,
If you should change your mind about getting lost in some distant jungle, I'll help you pack

You lost me from hogwash on...you should re-read your own posts sometime.

Bill, I'm going to have to practice a couple of hours just to be able to repeat that sentence.

Richard,

Everything in life is relevant. Your life is full of relevancies. Squatting beneath your steel serves to remind me of the many hours you dwindled away trying to perfect an unmanageable mechanical musical instrument. If you should rethink those precious wasted hours experimenting day after day, I trust that you realize by now that mechanical problems are best left to experts in that particular field of expertise. Attempting to achieve a wonder machine through trial and error, hardly, if ever, succeeds in carrying through to fruition. For what it's worth..JMO

Is that what you do Bill ? SQUAT behind your steel? Got any photos of you squatting behind your guitar.Remember the new E9th course you said you were working on that would revolutionize learning the pedal steel guitar.Be sure to include your method of squatting to.YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Charles,

I became aware of surreptitious behaviorism in grammar school. It becomes very disrupting when the end result dissuades or detracts from the the study of the pedal steel guitar. Thomas Katt contributes nil to further advancements of our musical instrument. Of this, I am certain!

Now goin and taking potshots at a kitty is just going too far Bill, I tell ya. You go after kitties and you're on the fighten side of me. I'll sic the Siamese Mafia on you in a heartbeat.

Bill, has anyone mentioned that you're trite, overly verbose, loquacious,mostly incomprehensible, and also like Donald Duck, I suspect you are web footed......

Bill Hankey · Post by **Bill Hankey** » 26 Jul 2011 9:18 am

Stephen,

I can't tell you how many of the neighbors cats that have been abandoned and left behind when they move out. Don't get me started on facts and figures that I've personally rescued over the years. We are presently feeding a young hungry black female cat that belongs to a neighbor. My wife has been feeding her tuna and chicken for the past few weeks. fini

Bill,you have NO idea the participation THOMAS KATT has with the steel guitar. He has spent countless hours at practice sessions and band rehearsals.Just by the way he turns his head and looks at me,I know what he likes or dislikes. Also to show how SMART he is he has never made an incongruous,intemperate,vituperative,interpretative literary composition that communicates no INTELLIGIBLE commentary. WONDER WHO'S GUILTY OF THAT

YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Storm,

Those who have loved and lost are some of my best friends. My STEEL GUITAR will tell you all about living and loving, and the the heartbreak of a love that grew stronger with each passing day.

Charles Davidson · Post by **Charles Davidson** » 26 Jul 2011 9:48 am

Bill,did'nt know you had a talking steel guitar,Who had the first one,you or Pete. And how could a love that grows STRONGER each day be heart breaking ?:roll: YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Charles,

Go to You Tube and request Tammy's "CRYING STEEL GUITAR". You'll see what I mean..

Sure if I reprehend anything in this world, it is the use of my oracular tongue, and a nice derangement of epitaphs.

Bama ,I think he learnt some new words outta readers digest, no doubt during one of his more productive practice sessions
