The Steel Guitar Forum

I would like to say thanks Charles for changing my song to INVITATION TO THE BLUES and to all the steel players on charles site. Everyone sounds great.Keep up the good work Charles it is well Appreciated.
Thanks again TERRY

Duane Becker- I just heard your "I love you Because". Nice C6 work. Good sound.I like it.

Easy download now with Tilley's MPEG, takes a minute. All the ones in Green are MPEG now fast. The ones in Blue now are MP3 slow, takes me about 25 minutes to download, with phone line.
Good work Tilley, those MPEG'S are great!...al.:).

I was just listening to Tilleys "Always Chasing Rainbows".Nice job Charles.
Vern

I agree Vern, very nice Charles.
I finally figured out how to get the songs to play. I Had a problem with my computer and couldn't get the songs to download, but I got it fixed.

Hi, Gang..... I thought I would bump this thread up as I believe this is a very important site for steel players all over the world... We all appreciate hearing steel players at all levels !!
I just sent Charles a new MP3...It is an old song that I have played for MANY [don't know how many] years..."Let me call you sweetheart"
Thanks Charles...keep up the good work !!

Hey Tilley, thanks for posting the sound file of my medley of 'Walk Away Renee'/'Pachelbel's Canon'/'As Tears Go By'.

Great job on the website, pal. Thanks for all you're doing to support steel guitar!

Thank You, Charles for posting my tune.....I have played this old tune for more than 40 years, and the crowds still loves it !!
It's "let me call you sweetheart" I played it on my old Fender 400....
postscript....I hope we can keep this thread alive !!

Moon-I just downloaded your song "Let me call you Sweetheart". Nice smooth playing, brings back old memories.

Tony-Nice picking on that "Rocky Top"..
Still taking a while to download, so I dont have the time to get too many songs, but am trying.

Tilley put my "Whispering " on till the end of Novermber, which some of the guys wanted to hear the Boowah with the tone contol used in 1950, and the bar crashes,I slap the bar down , no picking and use the tone controlWe had them on our guitars back 57 years ago. Thanks for putting it on Tilley...al.:)

great playing everyone!!

Jimbeaux-Just heard your Medley. Sounds great of course. A nice mixture.....al.:)

Charles has posted another of my tunes "I Fall to Pieces". Come listen to the Old MSA.

Many thanks, Charles, for putting up my tune 'Lloyd Medley'

I just heard John McGlothin's "Have yourself a Merry Merry Christmas".
John-your picking was so clean and clear, I almost thought it was a Six string guitar. I thought you did a real nice job on the song and the backup was very good too.

I guess after a 20 year layoff from playing, I will have to get back and start practicing again.

There is getting to be a lot of very good players on Tilley's website, and he has it fixed so they download real quick.

I want to thank Charles Tilley for putting on my December Christmas Medley- "White Chritmas" and "The Christmas Song".
I did these with one take and let it all hang out mistakes and all.

I did these for my friend Ray Byrd in Florida on a tape about 15 years ago. I set up one of his many guitars to my E6 tuning and gave a few instructions on the tape for him. He is a very good steel player, but wanted to learn some E6.....al.:)

Thanks Al. In my opinion...this website is solid gold...everyone on it is a fantastic steel guitarist....many thanks to everyone. I really love the sound that comes out of these classic MSA guitars.

Thanks for posting my last song,keep up the good work,don't you know.

Tori-I just heard your song" Swing Song". Nice C6, good tone.....al.:)

Hi,Guys/Charles...
I was away for a few days and just played all the new songs on your site...Very good steel playing !!!
I really enjoyed the new catogory at the bottom...
"Style Comparison"...All three files are well done, and are quite different...
Keep up the good work !!
Moon

Moon- I too just had the time to hear you and Richard Burton, Susan, Vernon Hester, Charles Reece, and Charles Davidson. I am trying to keep up with the new ones and still trying to catch up on the older ones. Everyone is sounding real good.

I have a Christmas Medley on now for the Holidays, White Christmas and The Christmas Song. I hve a tape of the Christmas song that I made for my friend Ray Byrd in Florida, as he wanted to try some E6. I talked as I played to let him know what frets , etc, thought it would be easier for him to learn it....al.:):)

Bump,Don't you know.

Charles, you forgot something essential. It should have been: Bump, don't you know.

Greg Booth-I just heard your Dec. song." Christmas Song". Very nice pickin on that Dobro. Who was the Bass player who was playing all the right notes and backing you up? ...al.:)

Doug Seymour- Hey Uncle Doug, I just heard your new Dec song "Ill have a Blue Christmas without you"..

That was nice C6, you still got it! Swingy and nice pickin...Merry Christmas to you old friend...al.:)

Bent,I fixed it ,don't you know.

Al, that was my son Dan Booth playing acoustic bass on "The Christmas Song". He plays and sings great. Thanks, Charles, for hosting all that great music.

Bump again,let's keep Mr, Tilly out front.
