The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello Mark Dunn.....
Let us know what tuning tip means.....
Thanks

Adair and Fred,

By chance my wife and I turned up at the Station Inn just as it opened, so I had a chance to watch Paul set up and more importantly tune up. I'm sure his talked about this before, but Paul tunes by ear. It was watching him do this I found interesting. During a quick chat we had he suggested I should try it. I have to say it took several weeks for me to gain confidence that my tuning was right, if there is such a thing! But having done one or two recording jobs, I've really started to notice the difference.

Mark,

There will be plenty of copies at Dallas. Just have him come see Paul or me. Thanks.

Dave Peterson

Got one comin' my way....

Yes, as Mark Dunn says, I will buy 2 of these please, 1 for me and 1 for Mark Dunn if you have them in Dallas,

Being a 21st century kind of guy (and needing instant gratification) I downloaded from CD baby. It came with a jpg of the cover and a track list.

Any other liner notes available? I'd be forever in _anyone's_ debt if I could get a scanned copy of said notes..

It would make my listening experience perfect.

Great record; real-deal singing and pickin' of a kind that's hard to find these days.

Thanks, Paul, for letting us know about this recording. I've been away from the Forum for a while because of my own illness and my father's death, and I know this CD will boost my spirits tremendously. And thanks to everybody else on the CD for keeping the sound alive.

Paul, thanks so much for posting this on the Forum, and especially for putting Dave up on the TSGA stage for all to hear and enjoy. Twice!

He is an amazing performer, and a true throwback to the golden era of country music. This is something that is sadly few and far between these days.

The CD hasn't left my player since I brought it home from Dallas. What an excellent set of obscure, well chosen and recorded tunes it is. Your playing, along with Buddy's and John's, is magnificent.

Can you bring Dave back next year? Thanks again!

For those who missed the Dallas show they missed one of the finest arrangements of the Darrell McCall song, "I'll Break Out Tonight". David Peterson did a fantastic job singing that song along with Paul on steel.

Don't want to leave out another great song and that was Jimmy Rogers Blue Yolder #11. Between Pauls playing and the voice of David Peterson that song has never been performed better anywhere.

Looking forward to the next CD.

A great record...no doubt about it...the steel and fiddle playing alone is worth the price...buy one!

Dave,

A pleasure meeting you and hearing you in Dallas. As far as I'm concerned, you are a star in the making. I like your image and your style, not to mention your talent. My very best wishes.

Just a note of thanks to Paul and family for the great hospitality at Dallas. What a joy it was to meet everyone and play some great music with Paul and Mike Auldridge. A big thanks to all involved with the event for the great kindness at your event.

Paul, you are the greatest, and I'll say it again - one of the best musicians I've ever played with. Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Dave Peterson

What a knock-out punch at the Dallas show. Also, two of the most gracious, friendly, humble, and genuine down to earth guys you will ever meet.

For me, the Dallas show re-charges my musical batteries. It washes away all the mediocre gigs that I walk away from thinking to myself "why do I do this?" It reminds me of my passion for music, and I am reminded why I do what I do.

I tried to relate those very thoughts to Paul, as to how much I enjoyed him and Dave, and what it meant to me.

Powerfull Stuff.

Listening to Dave Peterson with Paul Franklin was the Dallas highlight for me. All the artists were great, but I was impressed with Chuck Back on guitar, Steel and vocals,Buck Reid,and all the musicians that contributed to the backing band. I am also convinced that Paul Franklin is an Alien. His playing is from a different planet.

It was a great set I watched on the Friday night. Great album too. Please make sure theres another new album for next year Mr Peterson!

David Hartley

I bought the album (mp3 version) a couple days ago. I'm not always a big country music fan, but this album is really, really great. Kudos to all involved!

Once again,

Just ordered mine through CD Baby. Com. Can't wait for it

Pete,
Nice job on "Fair & Tender Ladies". One of my farvorites!

It's gonna be a great show...see y'all there!

...really enjoyed it...great job,Pete!

I just bought the album from ITunes. It is a great album! My kind of "country" music. I can recognize (or I think I recognize) the steelrs on some cuts but it would be nice to have a list of who is on what cut.

Hey Ya'll,

I just wanted to tell you that there is a video already up from the CD release show last Thursday for Comin' on Strong. The song is Rainbow in the Valley.
