It's working now and it sounds great. There are a couple of glitches in the sound but not in the picking. I'd love to hear you and Shef on guitar pick something together some time.

Hi Jim, I just heard your rendition of the old Count Basie jazz recording of "I'll remember April". It is a tough tune to play, but you did a fine job on that MSA Millenium.

I have always like that jazz tune as I do many others but I never tried that one on steel guitar. I'll take a pass on that one. Keep on picking...al.:) :D 8) 8)

Jim very fine work on that tune. The solo was nice as it reflected the head in a very sophisticated way. Good going. Don D.

Very tasteful. Do you have any clips of E9 performances?

Thanks, guys; appreciate it. Jeff, I have some E9 performances over on YouTube. If you go there and search on my name, they should come up. Someday Soon and Tara's Theme, I believe.

Best to all,
Jim

Jim-I think the Count Basie recording was "April in Paris". My mistake,(got my April's mixed up, Guess my age is showing,LOL.)

But I like sure your playing of "I'll Remember April", great tune on C6. That MSA Millenium has a clear clean sound. What pickup do you have in it? Happy New Year...al.:) 8) 8)
