| Very nice! I dig that tone he's getting. Kinda jarring how puny those teles sound after Jeff's solo. |

That Thomas is owned by a local Steel Guitar Player in Spring Hill, Fl. It's been converted to an extended E9th.
Another Steeler friend in West Plains, Mo has a Thomas S-10. |

| No big deal on the "conversion". Just changed from a U12 tuning/setup to an extended E9th tuning/setup. But it did take some work as Jeff Newman used the Day setup for E9th and it now has an Emmons setup. |

That's Boomer "palm pedal" Castleman with the butterscotch or blonde Tele® there. Anybody know what he's doing these days? He used to post here from time to time.
I was there for that show. I always admired Jeff's playing and nice fat tone. |

 Thanks David.
Sorry Jeff, didn't mean to sidetrack the topic.
Back to Jeff's playing there. Nice. Choo Choo Cha Boogie with a little Dick Clark's Bandstand theme thrown in there.
He had some nice things to say about Barry Thomas and his steel building in one of the old Pedal Rod publications. |
