The Steel Guitar Forum

Yours truly here will be playing steel for the musical production of Always Patsy Cline. We just finished the first week and it's going good. It runs at the 6th Street Playhouse in Santa Rosa from this coming Thursday until Dec 7. Then we get a month off and we're at the Cinnabar Theater in Petaluma from NYE until January 17.

6th Street Playhouse

Cinnabar Theater

This is my first musical and I like it so far. It's a great lesson in playing subtle and tasteful.

Thanks for looking!

Dave

Dave, I hope to make it down to see your show in Petaluma. Always enjoy your playing. Good luck with the shows and I know you will do an excellent job. Happy Holidays, John McConnell

Dave which of yer many steels are you using on the Patsy show?

Thanks John. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Hi Billy, I'm using the ShoBud Professional.

Bump for round two in Santa Rosa!

I JUST LISTENED TO HER GREATEST HITS AND THE CREDITS SAY WALTER HAYNES AND BEN KEITH PLAY STEEL BUT I SWEAR I DIDN"T HEAR ONE STEEL GUITAR .THEY ALSO SAY HAROLD BRADLEY ON ELECTRIC BASS BUT ITS OBVIOUSLY AN UPRIGHT SO I DON"T KNOW. I DID HEAR VIBES AND STRINGS, GREAT PRODUCTION .THEY RECORDED COUNTRY MUSIC DIFFERENT IN THOSE DAYS MORE ORCHESTRATION LESS BAND. WHATS THE LINE UP FOR THE SHOW DAVE .

Hi Larry. Jim Peterson on guitar, Michael Kane on fiddle, Robin Zickel on drums, Josh Fosgreen on bass (Kent's son) and Stuart Rabinowitsh on piano.

Mary, who plays Patsy has a terrible cold right now but she is pulling it off. Some friends in the audience couldn't even tell she was sick when I told them. They are working in an understudy (Shannon Ryder) for the Saturday matinee show to give Mary a rest.

Larry, I want my Brisbane Bop CD back! I miss it! Give me a call.

Dave

YO DAVE, ONLY IF I CAN GET MY HERB REMINGTON VIDEO AND JERRY BYRD BOOK. I ALSO HAVE YOUR HERBY WALLACE BOOK AND CASSETTE. IAM ALSO GIVING YOU A C.D. OF WOLF TRACKS BY TOM MORRELL WHICH IS BASICALLY TOM'S GREATEST HITS WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THAT ONE. YEA LETS HOOK UP THIS WEEKEND .HOW COME I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THAT BASS GIG?

Last week in Santa Rosa starts next Thursday, then we're off for 3 weeks and start up again in Petaluma on New Years Eve, and goes until Jan 17. The band is dialed in.

Hi Dave.
I'll be doing the show here in Janesville WI at "The Armory" theatre staring January 14th through March 3rd.

ALWAYS is a great show. I did the show back in 2003 with the Racine Theatre Guild in Racine WI. Every performace sold out! It was a great change from the club circuit........Bill

I agree Bill, it's a great show and REALLY enjoyed doing it. I would do it again. Every show was either sold out or very close to being sold out. Most were sold out. I'm looking forward to my three weeks off. We do another few weeks in Petaluma starting on New Years Eve!

Great show, Dave!
Was well worth the drive from Boonville. Front row seats just a few hours ago.

Hat's off to cast AND band.

Dave, I'm bummed. We were going to catch one of the last shows in Petaluma this weekend, and they are all sold out!

The good news is that the show comes back in August. I'm assuming you will be in the steel chair again when it returns?

I'll be there Mark. They are adding 13 more show from mid August to early Sept.
