That is great news, your podcast is indirectly responsible for me taking up pedal steel almost 2 years ago. I was listening to your podcast while cutting grass and decided if I ever was going to learn it was the right time. I starting searching for an instrument right away.Thanks for promoting this instrument of ours!

That is really cool!!
Awesome! I love your podcast and was beginning to wonder when and if another episode was going to come out.
And I can't think of a more worthy, and more deserving individual to interview. Bob is definitely one whose many years of contributions and hard work and effort have done such an incredible amount to help further the instrument and the availability of resources for players both veterans and those looking to start.
Thank you, Bryan, for your time, effort, and hard work on your podcast and thank you, b0b, for your years of hard work with this forum.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. It's cool to hear B0b's voice and stories. It's crazy that I envisioned his voice differently. Lol
Now I'm going to find some Jerry Garcia stuff too.
Thanks for this episode.
Let's see the Slide Rule, B0b!!!

I may have backdated that copyright notice when I made it. I think it was probably '71 or '72.

I'm always impressed and amazed at the ideas people utilize to advance their playing. That was a nifty idea b0b. I typed(on a real typewriter) several charts back in the 80's but never thought of a slide rule approach. Can't help but respect that.

I'll second Doug on the podcast being influential on my path to picking up steel. An invaluable resource to the steel guitar community. Thank you Bryan.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5

Probably. I haven't explored that. My slide rule was made before we had home computers or video players.Ian Rae wrote:At first glance, that "slide rule" is reminiscent of something that Joe Wright did on computer and used in some of his tutor videos. Is it the same idea?
Joe Wright has developed methodical techniques that run through all possible permutations to improve your mental and physical skills. I have his Technique Bundle and it has helped my playing immensely. Instead of teaching licks and songs, it teaches your muscles to play the instrument almost automatically. Your mind makes the music and the sound comes out of your amp.
