bump for Charles and the GREAT service he is providing..

Rock on Charles

thanks

tp

oh and yes, shamelessly, I sent a new song file to Charles . I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, part of my GOING IN REVERSE Tour. Addressing the Classic tunes with a modern approach. Oh, and I am not actually on a Going In Reverse Tour, it's only in my mind.

I just heard Bill Hatcher's "Am I that easy to forget" and it sounded like excellent playing to me. Very nice. I am hearing more and more real Professional sounding recordings, on Tilley' site..al.

I just listened to Fred Welch"s "In the Garden", again, and was very impressed with the feeling and faultless execution of it. He is playing a Wood Lacquer MSA Universal XL S12. He really gets a nice tone out of it. Way to go Fred. When are you putting up another song? ...al.

Thank you so much Al. That was done on a lap steel using the Leavitt tuning. A compliment from you means a lot to me.

Roy Ayres-I just downloaded your "Beyond the Reefs" , but it played "Beulah Land"?? It was beautiful and sounded great....al.

Great work Vernon Hester on Listen To The Mockingbird...very fine sound on a classic tune.

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 6 Feb 2008 8:32 pm

I just downloaded and heard Roy Ayres"Till I can make it on my own". Very nicely done as usual..

Charles Tilley's "I will always love you", using a nice Professional background, great tone with feeling.

Russ Tkac's "yesterday" the old beatles song. sounded very good on that Non Pedal tuning.

Tilley's site is really getting some nice recordings on it by the players.. Thanks Charles for setting up this nice feature on the Steel Guitar Forum....al.

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 8 Feb 2008 8:14 am

Our good friend Charles Tilley just put on my new song for February on his Website. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
I just recorded it last night in one take, mistakes and all. (I did play it through once before I decided to try and record it).
But what's a few mistakes among friends? LOL.

Again it is great to hear all the guys playing that we read their posts on the Forum. A big Thanks to Charles Tilley for starting all this!....al.

:):).

Very smooth work on that song Al. I love those chords your using...chords are the most fascinating thing about music and theres no limit to what can be done with them. Beautiful job.

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 8 Feb 2008 10:26 am

John-Thanks, I appreciate your kind comments to this old guy. I wish I had time to download every song, but I am on Dial-up and it takes a long time for each one.
Thanks again to Charles Tilley who is responsible for letting us all hear each other play....al.

:)

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 8 Feb 2008 6:07 pm

John-I just heard your "Rocky Top". Pretty good picking there and nice sound...

Robert Jones-I just downloaded your song "Until it's time for you to Go".Nice tone and sounds like a professional recording.

Vernon Hester-Just heard the "Mockingbird song". Yu show your dexterity on that one. I could almost hear the birds on the end. Lol....al.

Al,
That was a Cedar Springs Mockingbird.
Poor thing was trying to dig out of the snow.
Heard your tune with all those big chords!!! Nice.
Send me a bucket full of those big progression's.
Vern

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 9 Feb 2008 9:05 am

Vernon-Michigan Summers are the greatest. Come on up next summer, bring your guitar and I will dump all my big chords on it for you. OK? Thanks for listening to my "Somewhere over the Rainbow".

It would be hard to hear all our fellow Forum members play without Charles Tilley's great Website...al.

One thing I want to mention, the site is a great thing for us all, but Charles Tilley is also a great steel player.

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 11 Feb 2008 9:35 am

Howard-Yes, he is.
He has downloaded many of his songs to me and they are all great, fine tone, good feeling and just all in all very professional....al.

My Computer crashed about three weeks ago. Have been using my grandson's which i didn't like, to many bells and whistle's. Any way got a IBM this time, Hope it last longer than the Dell I had.
I have now listened to almost everyone on Tilley's site.
So many styles and sounds and every one is amazing.
You are all great. Its a joy to hear some many good steelers. If I had to pick a favorite though, It would have to be my friend Fred Justice.His tone and playing knocked me out.

Thank you Charles for posting my new lap steel rendition of Cold Cold Heart (A11 tuning).

Your mp3 site is incredible! Thank you for putting it together.

BTW my tune can also be heard by clicking on the link below (A11 tuning).

Al Marcus · Post by **Al Marcus** » 17 Feb 2008 8:08 pm

Doug-I heard both your E6 and A11 version on "Cold Cold heart". Very nice. Nice bass playing too. I see you must have a tone control on that guitar and used it like we used to in the old days...al.
