The Steel Guitar Forum

This is a current picture of "Country Express" which began with myself and 3 others in 1998. Currently, Darlene DeMaille - bass and vocals, John DeMaille - pedal steel,
Terri Whitney - vocals, myself - guitar and vocals, and Ken Whitney - Drums. Ken and Terri are not related. Our schedule is on line at thecountryexpressband.com

That's pretty freaky John! I don't recognize you...

I took a long break from working in a band, more than 25 years. Wish I could find some old pictures, but they won't be on anybody's phone, lol!

With renewed interest ( "Dan, what are you doing sitting on yer keister instead of playing the steel guitar" ), we're now back in the groove.

With my country band, Crosley Hotshot, Friday evening, June 23rd in Littleton, Colorado. Yes, this is shameless self-promotion. Now I know what I was missing!

Travis Hardy Band (I'm the geezer on the far right).

Rich Owen & Mosquito Pass has been playing on the Colorado Denver Front Range for over a year now- great group of guys and the PSG really rounds out our sound. Mark- aka "Sox"

Here we were at the Tennessee Valley Agricultural and Industrial Fair in the 80's. Riding the wave...


Played with these guys for decades--still do with the ones still alive..

Dave

Group I currently am working with. Picture was taken a year ago.

Some of my old bands, and artists.

With Radio Sweethearts backing Chip Taylor


With Ben Vaughn in Aberdeen


The Tony Goodacre Band



Kathy Stewart and The Frequent Flyers


Shipcote and Friends.


Barbara Nesbitt from Austin Tx.


Martin Stephenson and The Daintees.

Great pictures Malcom! I hold Martin Stephenson in high esteam. I have one record on which there is "candle in the window" played with a nice steel accompaniment. Forum member Skip Edwards told me that he played piano on one of his records.

MISS PAULA + THE TWANGBUSTERS(classic Honky Tonk 40s-early 60s)

THE LUSTRE KINGS (Rockabilly)

The NOUVEAUX HONKIES (Americana)

Joachim, I have been working with Martin for quite a few years now, but not on that one, think it may have been Dave Rowlands from Liverpool, a superb player, or perhaps BJ Cole, will ask Martin.

A few years ago .. The Marauders from ChicoCa

Joachim, Martin confirms it was Dave Rowland

Malcom, I had that record in the eighties and I sold it. Thanks for the answer

First band “Matrix” in 1967. I’m on the right. Covers of Byrds, Moby Grape, Buffalo Springfield, the Airplane, etc. 12 string player is David Wallace (RIP) who went on to play keys for Loggins & Messina, and musical director for Manhattan Transfer.


Played psg/dobro in Christian country rock “Hallelujah” 1974, 1975. I’m at top left.


Currently with “Garden Party”..... just waiting for virus to cool down.


And as Mike Perlowin once said, “I can dream, can’t I?”

The Susan Alcorn Quintet, November 13th, 2019

Was just starting to gig with www.themorrowfamilyband.com when I decided to socially distance from everything.

The Tonehounds back when live music was still happening. I'm the old guy.

Me with the Big Jim Vest Sho-Bud at Mary's Diner in Claverack, NY:




And one that some people, who doubt my athletic prowess, claim was photoshopped:

Keweenaw Brewgrass 12/28/19. A 55 year age gap between the dobro and the fiddle. The talent gap is much wider.
