Hi,
I'm Thomas, a new member of this forum, from Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany.
I'm a guitarist (weekend player) in a swing quartet. After playing in the style of Django Reinhardt for many years I changed to the classic american swing styles of Charlie Christian etc. Since the other guitar player in my band came up with a ukulele. I was fascinatet by the idea to play lap steel for a couple of songs. So it all began...
Trying to get a 8-string instrument in Germany was impossible so I had one custom build for me. Now I'm very happy to play steel only in another band, a Honky Tonk Trio, were we do songs of Hank Williams, Hank Thompson, Spade Cooley, Glen Glenn, some Rockabilly etc.
Steel guitar is fun !
Thomas

Welcome, Thomas.
I will be in your area with my band, The Moonlighters, in May and June. We'll be playing in Munich at some point. Hope to see you there. |

...und auch noch ein 'Servus' aus Wien
- OK, switching back to English, your band sounds very interesting - kinda like the stuff I'm trying to do myself - if you are ever coming to Vienna for a concert, do give me notice! |

Thank you all for the welcome!
Matt,
I don't have sound files of my bands at the moment. It's so hard to make a good recording.
Fred,
I like English beer too. Boddingtons "The Cream Of Manchster"
