Just tab out this show you posted and I'll buy it.

You tuned to E7 for that show?

I was pondering.....we all love this style of pre war acoustic music particularly the Tricone.

Are there any other groups, or players ANYWHERE beside Mike who is championing this music and keeping it alive?

Bob Brozman is one that I can think of.

I'm not sure of what Ken Emerson is doing these days.

Well. in the UK we have the Hula Bluebirds http://www.hulabluebirds.co.uk/ with Martin Wheatley on style II and Ric. Their cd is all acoustic but the B6 tends to dominate on live gigs. I drag my old style III out for a few Hawaiian gigs around South London, but no recordings yet!

"deserves another bump"--definitely! Mike, wanted to tell you how much I like the sound of the group, your playing particularly. The solos are great, and what especially impressed me was the flair and energy of your performance during the 80%+ of the time when you're not soloing but backing the vocals. "Comping" on steel guitar is a tricky business in a small band, but you're able to maintain the drive of your playing in a way that complements the gals' vocals instead of trampling on them. Don't worry about the instruction book, there's a few lessons in that performance. Not that many "warts", either. Look forward to seeing the Moonlighters sometime... -Steve

Mike,

Your playing fits well with the music. I know how hard it is to play with string bass as its harder to hear intonation, your bass guy sounds pretty on, the ladies are buzzin the vocal harmonies, a great set for sure.

BTW - What tuning are you in?[This message was edited by Chuck Fisher on 24 March 2005 at 02:29 PM.]
