The Steel Guitar Forum

I wanted to let everyone know how impressed I was to hear some of the younger musicians that were in Dallas last weekend.
I would like to see Albert and the staff work up a set for these young musicians (all under 14) to show us what they have.
JADE Moon, AUSTIN Stewart, and a wonderful young man I watched play lead in the Peavey room named DALTON. I am sure there were more that I can not think of that could work together to blow the doors open with great country music next year.
Any ideas from the forum??

Dalton impressed me as well. His parents stated that he taught guitar to his fellow classmates. He is 14 and that is pretty impressive. He was very interested in steel and wants to learn more. We'll be seeing this young man in the future, I'm sure.

And I'm not trying to force my kids into anything, I just merely lay the tools and opportunities at their feet.

I will say this though, two words, Instructors and Accessability.

I don't think I'd be the best teacher for my 12 year old who is showing great interest. There are instructors around Dallas, but I'm afraid it will have to be a once or twice a month at the most because of the distance and time. I hope she (my oldest) sticks it out, I'll do whatever I can to make her happy, if steelin is what she truly wants.

She has good taste in Steelers, she was real upset she didn't get a picture with John Hughey at the Dallas Show, but this guy will do.

Hello Billy, It was good to see you and Issa at the show?
Did you give her that present yet? I know you were excited to get it for her.
She will love it and will out play you and I very soon. She may be able to teach that guy in the photo a few things in a few years.
I want to hear her next year.

Isabella is still on Spring Break with mom and family while I'm working. She won't be back till this weekend. Her birthday is tomorrow also.

I hope she'll be surprised, that Zum is heavy artillery compared to the lil 'ol Emmons S10 P/P.
But like I said, I won't twist her arm (too hard)

I've got a 4yr old boy that I hope I can nudge also.

I hope there are many more kids interested out there, I've seen a few at shows, but there better be alot more.
