Thanks all! And Larry, if I have a talent it's being able to compile, edit and present information. It's people like Doug Beaumier, Mike Neer, Bob Lee, Rick Aiello, John Ely, Denny Turner and Brad Bechtel who have been endlessly generous and astute In offering suggestions and or directly influencing content in the book. In Denny's case, the modal improv section is an out-and-out steal on his pioneering thinking. Denny, I've made sure to credit my source on those pages. :)

Andy,

I feel sure you wouldn't forget, but just in case: I can't think of anyone on the planet who has contributed more to Steel Guitar than b0bby Lee by setting up and maintaining this Steel Guitar Forum so expertly, reliably and exceptionally well; And as most of us know, icing on the cake is that he is a great Steel Guitar Player and great contributer of info as well.

Please keep a list of all who have said they want your new book, and let us know as soon as it is available mail order direct from you; Having your hands transmit your personal Mana (Hawaiian word) into the book is important to a lot of us!

Thank You ... Kudos,
Aloha,
Denny T~

Without question I would never have written even one of my books without this magical place, the SGF that b0b invented and manages so masterfully.

The B11 book looks really interesting. I don't think there is anything like it out there. Some other numbers I play in the tuning are How D'ya Do, Echoes of the South Pacific, and When You Wish Upon A Star.

Wow, the B11 book is exciting. The world needs more B11. I have three B11 songs in my upcoming book. Two of them are in your planned B11 book, Andy 8)

Andy, don't worry about it. There are only so many B11 songs to go around! And any B11 book must include the classics! 8)
