I'm ashamed to admit it but after all the years I spent in Texas and Oklahoma, I don't know who Dusty Stewart is. I don't think I have even heard the name before....Would you care to enlighten me a bit ?? I'd certainly could use a lot of enlightenment !! 
Regards, Paul |

Paul, I'm as clueless as you are on that one. But I'm sure someone else can enlighten us both on it. Might be best to start a new thread with the question, though, since many people may not check in to see what '??' you wanted to ask me.
Take care,

| Last I heard, Dusty was still playing at the Liberty Opry (the old Park Theater) in Liberty, Texas. I believe he started playing steel back in the '50s, with Hank Thompson's Band. He also played at the T.S.G.A. show a few years back. |

Hey Paul......there is no mistake on that particular Hank Thompson project.....to which steel player (Dusty or Curly) was playing on which tracks.....???
If your not sure I can tell you. Dusty played great......but Curly was doing stuff on the non-pedal steel....that still has'nt been played yet to date......ah....ha.
Curly was the most Monsterous non-pedal player and sooooooo out spoken.....and as much as I admired and loved his pedal steel playing......I prefer to listen to when he played NON-pedal steel........WOW.
Dusty's brother also played Fiddle on that project.......am I right on that Herb????

Dusty is still playing in the East Texas area. I last saw him about 4-5 years ago playing with Gil Baca's band (pronounced "BAH-cha"). Gil and his brother Kermit were both Brazos Valley Boys (piano and drums respectively) back in the early 50's.
Yes, he does play pedals now and is a relatively contemporary-style player, and quite good.

That's exactly what I said to the other guy this morning while I was shaving !! 
Quite frankly Donny; I recognize your understanding of steel guitar and electronics, especially speakers, and in my book that sets you on a higher pedestal !!
There are members whose every post is a must full reading for me. You are one of those !!
Best Regards.\, Paul |
