Surprise, surprise!!

Post by Roger Crawford »

At the "request" of my Doctor, I've been spending 30 minutes a night on the CardioGlide working off a few of those Quarter Pounders. The best way I have found to make that time more bearable is to put a tape in the VCR and let it rip. I came across a tape that was not labeled as to content, but threw in in just to see what happened. Well, it turned out to be an old episode of Austin City Limits. Gene Watson, featuring Steve Palousek on steel. Surprise #2 was the following 30 minutes. Another Austin City Limits with Moe Bandy, featuring Tommy Detamore on steel. Just a guess, but I think this was from the mid 1980's. Both players were superb, but then you would expect it from these two guys. The tape is now labeled and put on the TOP shelf!

Hi Bubba,
Keep that tape close by, I want to see it on my next trip. I've got a tape of Steve's and he is "awesome". Stay away from "Ronnie Ray's" steakhouse! Ha Ha

Roger, I had noticed how you had a little more difficulty reaching the strings. Hey, if the tape works, let me know as the strings on mine seem farther away.

Roger,

Maybe we should talk to Bruce about a new guitar design with the back panel having a "cutaway"!!

Where I come from, we call that the "Dunlop" syndrome. Yer belly, it Done-lopped over your beltbuckle.

Tommy...I'm thinking SD10 with a "cut out" pad design. It may work for both of us!
