The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello steelfriends,

Find a nice clip from Clinton Gregory. But who is the steelplayer on that Mullen guitar. I'll think it's Mr. Ronn Elliot. But if that so that must be a long time ago. Here it is.

Thanks,

It is Ron, Clinton calls his name out just before his solo

Sorry John. Yes I heard it. I was a little bit too fast for asking. Great picker he is.

Marcel

He has the best tone ever, I love his playing...

Hey folks, Is that country or is that country?

Ron is one of the all time great players with such taste,tone and always in tune. I just wish he would loosen up and get a sense of humor. HA HA Loveya Ron, Bobby

Thank you Bobby,

I met you and Ron in the Millenium a couple off times. Yes Ron has a lot of humour and he has a great soft and tastefull touch in his hands.

I hope I can come to St.Louis this year as well.
Thanks Ron for the great picking

Marcel

Ron is one of my favourites, I have every CD he has done so far. I was only sorry I couldn't get over to Ireland to see him at the festival. One day, one day for sure.

Thanks so very much for the kind words. We enjoyed working with Clinton as well as many other great country artists. I loved great classic country tunes and enjoyed playing them. Thanks again....please visit me on our website and sign our guestbook.

See you all down the road. Ron

Ron, You sounded great with Clinton. I use to have a friend (Keven Grant)who played bass with Clinton. Did you know him ? I've lost track of him over the years. Anyway are you comming to Dallas and to Mount Vernon IL this year ? I would love to hear you again. I like your website especially that photo of you and Buddy.

Thanks Bill, I will not be in Dallas this year, but will be in Mt. Vernon, Il. As to Keven, I, too, have not been in contact with him. Last I knew of Clinton, he was opening, singing parts, and playing fiddle with Gene Watson. Take care, and we'll see you in Illinois in April. Ron

Paul, You were asking about my Derby on the website,I have a black D-10 and a maple S-10,..I play through 2 Nashville 112's with a PODxt. Get back with me on my e-mail rpesr@bellsouth.net Thanks, Ron

Great steel playing! Give credit to one of the most soulful singers of all time-Clinton Gregory! He will tear your heart out if you listen close.

Hello Ron,

I now Buddy had in the early's a great Sierra. But I saw a picture from you when you had also a white Sierra with golden end plates and keyless tuners. Wow! Where's is this guitar now?

Marcel

If you get a chance, liston to Clinton Gregory sing "If a broken heart could kill". It's on one of his early CDs. It's soul country to the bone.

Wow! Now that's a country song.

Another of my favorite Clinton Gregory songs is a beautifully handeled tune... "Couldn't Love Have Picked a Better To Die".Last I heard,..Clinton is opening, singing parts, and playing fiddle with Gene Watson....He's a good one! Thanks, Ron

Here's one featuring Mr. Jim Vest! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyZO1h2K ... re=related
