Intro for newbys on the steel.
Hi guy's and gal's, not been on here for a while, but can't sit at home in retirement, so have been putting a few thing's together for the new guy's on steel, and try to invoke some interest for beginners.
Just a mixture of item's I put together over the last couple of years, some not steel, but then, over 50 year's you get to do all sort's of thing's so go see, there may be something that interest's you,Slim.

Slim, I recognise Mr Biff Walsh on drums in your pic. I played for a number of years with Biff, and spent a couple of holidays in the USA with him and our wives. You must have been playing with Ridgeway when that shot was taken.

All these ex-Brits who are now in the good ol' USA. Amazing.
Slim, I took a look at some of your clips, and saw a pic of my dear friend Colin (Karl) Benson. I did a whole bunch of recording sessions in the 1970's with Karl on bass, Drew Taylor on fiddle, Mick French on acoustic guitar and Bob Pearce on drums. Karl's picture brought back some nice memories of a lovely man who passed on way too early.
I have a memory of the Yellowstone Picnic Band. I had been playing for a fortnight at the Hotel Hirschen in Zurich, Switzerland. We used to get flown over and back each time we performed there. You guys arrived there at the end of one of our stints with Rose Marie, and you had driven all the way from Reading or whatever. You all looked absolutely knackered, and Karl had the biggest black rings under his eyes that I have ever seen. The late Martin Schweitzer, the hotel manager, should have flown you guys out too as it must have taken you all a few days to get over that drive.
