Hey players, maybe noone has ever heard what you can do with a steel guitar. Well, they can now if you send me a MP3 file or a CD of your playing. I will put it on my web site for the world to hear. Tne site is visited very often every day. 462 have visited as of this posting time.

Please understand that this is to showcase steel guitar players.
I am receiving files that showcase singers. These will not be posted so please send a steel guitar file.


Send the MP3 to ttexastilley@sbcglobal.net

Send the CD to Charles Tilley

EVERYONE deserves to be heard. Go give a listen to those who have responded. www.etsga.org/etsga50.htm

Hey Charlie. I wanted to put my two cents in as well. You are doing a great job with the web site. Some really good pickers on there as well. Great variety of songs to listen to. Keep up the good work.

Hey folks, I am getting some great stuff here. Just recently from Fred Justice, Mike Archer and Alan Thompson. Alan is from Scotland and does a great job on a couple of favorites. All the players are fine and I appreciate all of you who have sent me the files. Of course, I am still waiting to hear from David Wright.
Well, maybe before Christmas :?:

I am having a blast and hearing some great players that most of us have never heard.

KEEP 'EM COMING

Tilley-That is a great thing you have started and much appreciated by all the players. I would like to hear all the steel players play a tune on your site. If I can find a decent solo, I'll maybe send one in. Keep up the good work....al.:):)

Charles Tilley song site

Post by Al Marcus »

Hi Tilley, I found one song "Whispering" that I recorded with a 1942 Gibson Electraharp 8 stings 6 pedals. I did this on a Wax Transcription at a Radio Station in 1950. Plugged right into the board , wore earphones, and could not control the sound without my Amp. I'll send it on MP3 as I found a program to go from wave to MP3.
I did about 8 songs, then transferred them to Reel to Reel later and then to Cassete when they came out. What a long trip. From 1950 to here.
I sent a tape to Jody Carver a couple of years ago, and he was kind enough to say some nice things about the tape.
Thanks again for the good things you are doing for steel guitar, and especially for the younger budding steel players of the future......al.;):)

Bill Stafford Has Done It Again

Post by Roy Ayres »

One of my very best friends and steel guitar idols, Bill (Mr. Smooth) Stafford has done it again with his rendition of "When I Dream." If you don't listen to this one, you are missing something special.
