Music Now.
The Sho-Pro Steel CD w/Tommy White, and Eddy Dunlap. And I can't get enough of Dave Grusin's "Mountain Dance" live! I still like to try and pick w/Vern Gosdin, Desert Rose Band, and Dwight w/Tom Brumley. "Set'em Up Joe" and "I Sang Dixie" keep me stumped.

Some great responses! Many are well known rather than obscure.
I still go to the gym and work out and have found there is only a select few albums that I'll listen to on my iPod. One of my all time favorites should be familiar to the 6 string guitars players, Robben Ford's "Talk To Your Daughter". I find that I exercise much harder while listening to this. For me this is blues guitar at it's best.
Check out this link to a live performance by him. There are many others but this should get you acquainted with him.

As for what I'm doing career wise? Nothing at the moment. Lee Ann has pretty much quit the business. She's tired of fighting with the label for what she believes in. She's home schooling her youngest daughter and says she's really enjoying being a "stay at home" mom. So... the rides over. It was fun while it lasted.
Musically I'm just practicing on things at the house that interest me, which is continue to learn songs that are new to me, and of course try to better my understanding of theory.

Steelin' for Jesus
Danni Leigh-A Shot Of Whiskey & A Prayer featuring Steve Hinson on steel. Both Danni's vocals and Steve's steel work are awesome on that record. I think Pete Anderson, Dwight Yoakam's former guitar player did guitar parts on that record. Steve does a great steel solo on Danni's song "Back In Your Arms Again". Steve also did great steel work on Danni's song "Honey I Do" too-it was written by Stacy Dean Campbell
fit??
Pls know that I love all the old trad country music and also the new uses that are being explored by players of today. But do you know of a recording of Native American flute and steel. Somehow I think it will fit, but don't know the pentatonic patterns well enough to get a workable idea going. Any suggestions?

Randy, since this is the first time I've posted directly to you let me say, over the years I've been truly inspired by your playing. Thank you.Randy Beavers wrote:Some great responses!...

Since you're listening to and enjoying Robben Ford's blues playing, you might know that, at 18 years of age, he was a sideman on a 1973 album titled Takin' My Time, by legendary blues harpist Charlie Musselwhite. Here's a cut from that album called Finger Lickin' Good" Robben does some tasty backup work

In 1979 Robben released a solo album entitled The Inside Story. His brother, Mark backs him on blues harp on this cut called "North Carolina". Robben sings on this on

If you will allow a little deviation from the topic, here is another great blues guitarist: Harvey Mandel. in 1969, when he was in his early 20's he released a solo album on the Philips label, titled Games Guitars Play. Here's his version of Horace Silver's "Senior Blues" from that album

From a few years later on the album Shangrenade, "Midnight Sun"

Some of these are well known in our circle, I am sure. However, most of this was new to me.
Being fairly new to the steel guitar, and a Yodeler, I've been really enjoying getting to know 'Cliff Carlisle'
Pee Wee King
Cliff Carlisle
BR-549 / Chuck Mead and the Grassy Knoll Boys (Carco Clave!)
Alanna Amran - Rough Gems (Some great playing by forumite Philip Sterk)
Dale Watson
The Dezurik Sisters (No Steel, but yodeling in harmony~)
Janet Mcbride

Hey Glen, when I went to listen to the cut from Robben's first album, I looked to the side column and there is a 1 1/2 hour lesson from Robben on his approach to playing the blues. Now this is what I was hoping to accomplish in this thread! Guess what I'll be doing over the weekend...
Many thanks everyone.
Also, when I was checking out the Oscar Peterson cut from Gary, I saw a link that had an hour long concert with him. PRICELESS!
There are no wrong opinions here. This is proving my opening statement, we are a diverse group, musically.

Yesterday was all day Led Zeppelin at work.
The day before we did a bunch of Brendon Small (Dethklok)
Some Junior Brown...I got my tickets- he'll be here May 10th!!!!
Tonight Pete Grant is playing in town, I may go see him...
I am looking forward to a weekend of music!

As a guitar player musicians is normally what I listen to until I discovered this young lady a couple of years ago.
I learned that she lived not very far from where I live now.
I was devastated when I learned that at a much too early age she passed away as a result of cancer.
Her ability to alter melodies and phrasing while infusing a rare gift of soul puts cold chills on my arms when I hear her sing.
(Soul) you’ve either got it or you don’t.
