The Steel Guitar Forum

Reece, I think the "Slide Off" is a great name. Certainly no infringement on anything. Matter of fact, I'd love to see this become popular.

I believe Bill McCloskey coined that one and I can envision "Slide Offs" being held both separately and at PSG Shows throughout the country.

This really gives pedal players something different to stretch out on, and as many know, this can become addicting.

I hope to host another dobro workshop next winter and I have all intentions of another Slide Off.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by HowardR on 18 May 2005 at 04:28 AM.]</p></FONT>

Hey Reece and Bobbe.Are you both going to be using the new water cooled strings that keeps them from getting too hot? Tracy

First off: Reece you should know better - That using my term Slide Off would not be an infringment but an honor. Call it what you want, but feel free to call it a Slide Off if you want.

Second, I'm going to see if I can make it down for this. Don't know if I can fit it into my schedule or not, but it sounds like something not to be missed.

Charles T....Sorry if it appears I overlooked your post. As you can see by the time, I was writing when you posted your comments.

I haven't forgotten our conversation concerning beautiful Tyler Texas and playing for the E.T.S.G.A. Hopefully we can "git er done" in the near future.

HowardR....I agree with you in that non pedal steel is something different with which to musically stretch out.

In addition, it has been my experience, playing non pedal steel "exercises the mind" while defining mental procedures as well as musical manuevers, positioning and physical response, all of which transfers to pedal steel.

Bill C....I hope you can arrange your schedule so you can attend. It would be great to meet you.

I want to be there for this Reese, Tom morrell, and Randy beavers all in the same room. Wish ricky Davis and Ray Montee could be there Garland Nash

B&R or R&B or A&S or S&A
well lets just put to of the best at the header. Bobbe I will be getting off the boat in Nashville area, Will you please send your private Limo! See you the 5th
Steve

Garland N....I hear you are a very good player. I'll be anxious to meet you and hear you play.

Steve H....I'm sure Bobbe has already made the special arrangements for you. I recall him mentioning something about a limo and a red carpet.

Eric W....Surely there's a "key" with which to "break the code" concerning your post, but if so, it's well hidden.

So....what does Superman, Lex Luthor, The Fortress Of Solitude, pink kryptonite, Jim Nabors, and a group picture, have in common with non pedal steel guitar players and friends getting together and having a great time....inquiring minds want to know

Everyone will get a big kick from hearing Garland Nash play lap steel. I've heard him, trust me on this.

Great day in the mornin'
it's truly a blessing to see Reece & Bobbe together like this
what a line up too
wish i was there
sure wish one of you will post some pics of this Slide Off
you'll have sound clips too ?
why sure, put 'em up !

Randy,

You beat me to the punch, I was about to say the same thing about Garland. Last year at Bristol, he really impressed everyone with his playing and singing on Waltz across Texas, but he has been doing that for years. I will probably see you there.

LOVE.....

HEALS ALL WOUNDS
