Just this morning, I received a very nice song from Mr. Louisiana Buck Grantham. Please go and listen to him. A great song and a great talent.

Thanks Mr. Buck. It's about time.

Thanks, Charles for changing my file.... I hope the forum members read this....
There is an active thread titled "1960 sound". I hope some of the players can hear some of that sound on this recording of "Greensleeves".
I cut it with my old 1962 Fender 400 cable rig. I have hung on to this guitar for 40 plus years. I purchased it new in 62.
I hope everyone enjoys !!!!!

Excellent job Moon....really sounds great. I use to own one of the Fender 1000s back in the seventies....I traded it off but now I wish I still had it. It also had the cable system. John McGlothlin

Thanks, John...
It's still fun to sit down and play these old guitars !! LOL. I play my Carter S10 everyday, so when I play the Fender I stumble around on the 8 string for a couple of songs !!

Charles.....
I see there are over 15,500 hits on your site !!!
I had a local lead guitar player call me up today to say he enjoyed my file.... I ask him if he reads the forum, and says he does read but don't post. There is probably a heck of a fans out there that you don't know about !! LOL

Moon, a great job on Greensleeves; sounds fabulous on your Fender 400; I love the sound of those 400's; one was my 2nd. pedal steel back in the 60's. Thanks for allowing us to hear you play..
Vernon; a pleasure hearing your number; Can't say I've ever heard that melody played any more beautifully than what you just gave to us. An excellent job, Vernon.. You boys play my kind of music; as all of Charles clients bring to us.. Thanks, Charles, for being such a fine gentleman..Keep them coming..Regards, Bernie :roll:

Bernie,
Thanks for the nice comment!! When I was a Kid playing and my Dad was playing his Martin,If I wandered away from the Melody he would say "Vern, I am going to quit if you keep playing that junk".
We spent many happy hours together.
After I was married and doing Live TV,Radio,tours and he found out I was coming home for a few days.he would gather his friends for a big session.
The good ole days.

Thanks, Bernie, for the good words... I have played every single one of the files on Charles site. It is really good to listen to a cross section of players from all over the world. Charles has let some of us old "Blue collar" steel players put our MP3 on his site....
Thanks, Charles !!!!

Henry Matthews- Nice job on "City Lights", on Tilley's site. Brings back memories of the good old classic country of the 70's. What brand of guitar are you playing now, Henry? Sounds good.....al.:):)

Tilley-Thanks for putting on my song "Tenderly". That's another one that I scrounged from one of my old "practice tapes". Some decent parts and some bad.....al.:):)

Hey Al, thanks for the nice comment. That is a 71 Black P/P Emmons. I'm playing thru a Nashville 112 and straight into the board via line out with just a touch of reverb.

I downloaded some songs from Tilley's website. It takes me almost a half hour to do it on one song on my ISP. Thanks again Charles for putting all this on.

Jerry Gleason-"The common touch." Very nice chord and jazz solos on the S12 Universal guitar.

John McGlothin-"Dont let me cross over",better check it out , no steel on it.

Vernon Hester-"aloha Oe" nice smooth , brought me back to Hawaii Islands.

Chuck Lettes-"Easy Livin", very good , sounded to me like good non-pedal steel. Am I right?

All in all, lots of good steelin on Charley's Website. And so many different styles. Interesting...al.:):)

Thanks, Al. Just for clarification, though, I play a D-10, not universal.
I'm enjoying listening to all the players on Charles' site.

Al, about all I hear is steel on this song. Wonder why you don't.
John does a fine job. The Dobro adds a bit too. Wonder if it is a Dobro or simulator.

Howdy Folks Howdy....Thanks for the coment on my song....the dobro guitar I am using is a Johnson square neck resonator guitar I bought about a year and a half ago brand new for only $225.00. It is a copy of the original Uncle Josh model of the Dobro. Al, about not hearing any steel on the song....my sound card driver had to be updated on my computer since then and that might have been a problem and I have been experimenting with a recording software called Guitar Tracks Pro which is a 32 track recorder. I checked on the website and the song plays fine.
