Lap Steel Seminar /Non Pedal Session at the SWSGA, Phoenix

[Chuck S. Lettes]

So far, I've been able to put together a partial lineup of players for the SWSGA's Non-pedal Session. I'm planning for a one day celebration of the lap steel, Saturday, Jan. 21. The format will be similar to the Rick Alexander Session at the Dallas show. We won't use drums so we can focus on the beauty of the lap steel sound, plus the lower volume will be a contrast to the grooving music on the Main Stage. Of course, everything can change, but so far the players who have confirmed with me include:
Sharon Denny
Dan Tyack
Doug Livingston
Ivan Reddington
Margie Mays
Bobby Black
Chris Kennison
Carco Clave
Chuck Lettes
Scotty
Billy Easton

Some of the players who have volunteered to be part of the House Band include:
Rick Barnhart-Bass
Peter Freiberger-Bass
Ray Harrison-Bass
Ivan Reddington-Guitar
Carco Clave-Guitar and anything with strings!
Jim Stahlhut-guitar

I'm planning out my C6th Lap Steel Seminar. It will be a two hour workshop focusing on some lap steel techniques/ songs and exercises, primarily using just four strings of a six string lap steel. The cost of the Seminar will be $40 (includes a CD and tablature), with $5 of that going back to the Club. Please contact me if you would like to play a set or attend my Lap Steel Seminar. That way I'll have enough material/CDs to give all the attendees.
