Rick, not to hijack your post. But, are the steel player on the show playing the Kline? I posted over on the Kline post asking if any one new who the steel player is.

Yes, the steel player is me. The black kline is the last universal Joe made. The 2 tone lacquer Kline is my first. It is over 30 years old. Love my Kline's.

Rick, you do a great job on the show. I've watched almost all the videos on youtube. I've always had a thing for Klines. But when Joe was building them I was a young married collage student and couldn't afford one. Then when I could Joe retires. The story of my life. I would love to get up and catch the show some time.

Thanks Bob, I truly love playin' the O.V.O. . The Clark family and staff are wonderful folks. Would love to have you check out the show sometime. Let me know and we'll make a day of it ! Once in a great while you'll see a Kline on the forum. But if you don't see it first it's usually gone ! Let me know what you're lookin' for, D-10,Sd-10, or Universal and I'll keep my eyes open for one.
Happy Easter !

Rick, I'm looking for a U12. Is there anything else?

I hope you guys have a good show with Connie. I'm a big fan of Connie's and she always has a good band.

Amen and Amen. Universals and a great Connie Smith band and show. I'll keep my eyes open for a Kline Uni.

I'm adding this recent recording of "Faded Love" to this thread ONLY b/c Gary Carter is playing on it. On my best day I'm a medium fiddler, but Gary is amazing, and he plays a great break on this. It's easy to see why so many steel players hold him in such high regard. https://soundcloud.com/braper/faded-love
