Hi everyone. I had a great time in Dallas.
This is one of the songs I like to play on my non pedal steel guitar. Hope you enjoy “Crazy” doing my way.

Thanks
Billy

| ... a little over the top for the "just play the melody" part of me, but great fun to listen to, and a nice reminder that pedals were invented so that we could play what Billy Robinson plays. Great job Billy! |

Billy you are such an inspiration. An absolute legend with those Pedal sounds. Do you have some tab on it. I'd buy in a heart beat for those bends

Really enjoyed seeing and hearing you in Dallas again this year.
Your set is always one of the highlights of the weekend.
I also have to mention how much we enjoy Ray Allen when he joins you to sing a few numbers.

Love it, Billy. I have a tape I inherited from a friend now gone of you doing that song. I'm really inspired to practice "Crazy" more. Love that tone, delivery & styling. Thank you so much for sharing.
Question: What are your thoughts of any advantage of your C6 tuning over a Bb6, &/or Bb13th. Do string gauges have anything to do with your choice? |

Billy, would you mind posting your string gauges? I would think that the gauge would have an effect on how easy it would be to do a string pull.

Terrific playing, Billy! You are an inspiration to many here. Do you have any tips for behind-the-bar pulls?

Billy, you may not remember me when I worked for Bobbe Seymour and you used to come in. The subject was usually about something you and Bobbe had going on with graphic design. I don't remember hearing you play and I wasn't aware of your talent.
I SURE AM NOW!

I've tried to play your clip (I'm a big fan!) but on every visit to your page my cursor turns into the "B" from your logo and can't start the player...

Sorry about the bottom line, it reads:
Some think the Att. is what you should use
Hope this is helpful
