Welcome, Dave, to the greatest Forum on the planet; and we thank Ricky a whole heap for showing us the lovely beauty which you are practicing on; You'll do great..Bernie

Hey Dave, Hope you don't mind me mentioning--- I've got this album you did with Jeremy Wakefield. It's called "Hot Guitars of Biller and Wakefield". You guys sound like you had a BLAST making it!! I have a blast listening to it.

Hey Dave! Glad to hear you've got the "steel bug" now.

You sure do have a great guitar in that Sho~Bud fingertip! The forum is a great place to ask questions and do tons of research.

Cheers!
Mark Ardito

p.s. That Biller/Wakefield album is absolutely amazing...keep up the great work!

Welcome Dave ! Cool , that bumps me up to second worst. Hmm ,things are looking up. lol

custom steel / recordings

Hi Dave,

Welcome, and i wish I'd played a little better when you saw me sitting in with Redd at Ginny's. I'm sure you said: hell I can do that! The rest is history. Good luck and remeber, the bar goes in the left hand...

Joe

Joe, if i ever reach a point where i can do what YOU do on steel guitar, i'll be one one happy guy! i have the deepest respect for you and i love the records you did with Jim C. i remember seeing the 10 gallon cats at the paradise lounge in Frisco years ago and i was blown away.

James i'm glad you like the B+W cd and you bet we had a great time doing it. it was live so we sifted through a zillion takes, arguing over which ones to keep since we could never both play our best solos on the same track!!

i wish my sho bud still looked that clean but i've been dragging it to gigs for the last 10 months and it's starting to show it. it's got that great classic sound that appeals to my rather old school sensibilities.

once again, thanks for the warm welcome, guys, and i look forward to chatting with you all.

Dave,

Love you work with Wayne Hancock and also Dale Watson, 2 of the most listened to artists on my Ipod!...

Hey Dave, Congratulations, that is one very pretty axe. How many of Bobby's band now don't play steel?

Welcome Dave, you are in good hand here, with plenty of good people. Now and then the some of the pro's also posts some messages here !!! Cant get any better

Dave,

Welcome to the Forum! I have been playing lots of your material on my "Swingin' West" radio shows for years and my listeners world wide love it all. It is great to have you on the Forum and with the steel guitar.

Mike, i'm familiar with your radio show and i'm honored that you'd play anything that i was involved in! THANKS to you, sir.

Steve E. i always tell people that there are 3 1/2 steel players in the Bobby Flores band, me being the 1/2! LOL

Dave,

Thanks amigo, for the kind words about "Swingin' West." They are really appreciated as is all the wonderful material that you recorded and I have used on the show over the years.

Welcome, If you ever over in Katy are drop by the SETSGA Jam. We post the info under events. Glad to have you.

Semper FI to Mark Edwards and I must disagree with the fellow that that claims to be the worst steeler. I am the world champion at worst steelin

Sometimes I stutter when I type to boot

Last July my wife and I were in Austin. We found out Justin Travino was at Jinny's little Longhorn Lounge. It was Justin a drummer and a Steel Player. They were great. Do you know who the steel Player was ? I think his name was Jim....?

Bill, the steel player in question was Jim Loessberg, without a doubt, one of the very best. i'm proud to say that he is my teacher and my mentor.

It was a trip we will always remember. We got to go to Big Bill Lister's house and play music with him.We also went to my all time favorite singer Darrell McCall and play a little music with him and Mona. He listened to couple cuts of my CD I was working on and agreed to co produce it with me. How lucky can you get.
All this was made possible through Tracy Pitcock @ THe heart
of Texas Music ASSOC. great people.........

You are lucky to have someone like him around. He is awesome.
