Hey folks,

I'm a new member as of today!
Been reading the Steel Guitar forum for over a year now and thought it was about time to join.
I am a Steeler from the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.

Looking forward to many conversations with you fine folks and learning more about the instrument that I love!

Hey Mark,

Yes, I am currently the Lead Guitarist and Band Leader for Janie Fricke.
I did play Steel with her last year...but moved into the leader role this year....so I hired Robert Langford to play Fiddle and Steel so I could concentrate on Harmony Vocals as well.

I do play some sessions here in town...and pick up a few live gigs when I'm in town.

How about you Mark?
Who are you Steeling with?

Hey Sam. Yall just played in Houston last friday I think and I missed it. I can't believe that i did, but that is the way it goes. Is Johnny writing any new material? Does he have a site? Next time you see him, tell him he has a huge fan in Tomball, TX.

Welcome Billy. Janie Fricke? man, I always loved to hear her sing. it's a shame, these
hip-hop bee-bop so called country female singers of today, are gettin all the air time
while good singers like Janie Fricke are hardly ever heard on the radio. what a shame!

Hey Bart, Sam and Terry...

Thanks for the welcome.

Looking forward to having many conversations with you boys.

Yes, I agree with you Terry about the NEW country chick singers. Although, Janie does have a new CD that is coming out later this month. It is Bluegrass.
My problem is, it doesn't have Tele or Steel Guitar.....That is what I do.

The CD is good.....but I like lectricated instruments.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.
Maybe I can learn a few things from you boys.

We (Janie Fricke Band), are in Wyoming at the moment...heading to Ohio. Great shows these last couple of weeks.
