Welcome back, Carl!! Sure looks like you've got all your stuff intact and got your mojo workin' again. Hot dog! (or is that pronounced 'hot dawg'?)
p.s. mispronunciations aside, someone tell me what the heck we're doing inside the of "Pedal Steel" subforum? As if nonpedal players don't make these mistakes? Hah!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jim Cohen on 01 June 2003 at 09:15 PM.]</p></FONT>

I have often heard a female singer announced as "Chair" on swedish radio. And of course we have the famous "Bonnie Riot".
And a guy on a local radiostation introduced a song as: "In the ear tonight by Pill Collins". That kinda gives a new meaning to the song, doesn't it?
Then we have the fine record label "Beer Family" who releases lots of good music.

(Are we sure this is about pedal steel?)

In the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" the lady was told , if the robot (Gort was his name) is going to attack you say the words , "Gort, Klatuu Barada Nicto" . And indeed the robot's laser shield closed back up. Of course Gort carted her off anyway but at least he put his laser beam away.
Just imagine where she'd be now had she twisted those words. Eh? ? Sabe usted ?
Rick Barber (did I spell the words right?)

Rick,
You are not old enought to have seen that movie.
Incidently the stars of that movie, Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal and Sam Jaffe did a great job. One of my all time favorites. It was very well done as a science fiction film I thought.
You perked me interest. I am going to see if I can rent that movie. I would love to see it again. I saw it when I was in College.
NOW that is OLD!!

Hi Mr Uwe Haegg, Yes my name is one of those old names dating back very nearly 1000 years and has 18 different ways of spelling it.
It is pronounced Mannering. I had the weirdest thing happen years ago sometime in the late 50s' when I met up with another guitar player who's name was/is Trevor Mannering, he was wearing the same patterned suit but different colour plus his Mums name was eva same as my Mums.....
Bob Mainwaring Z.Bs' and other weird things.
