Aloha Doug,
Sounds very nice, and please keep everyone posted as to when the book will come available. Even though we (my wife and I) do predominantly Hawaiian material for the season, there are at least two months a year where we do a "regular" lounge gig on the ship. I'm always on the lookout for tunes I can play steel on. I have a few arrangements so far, and will of course throw in some Hawaiian material when suitable, but any new material to work on and perform is always welcome.
By the way, we'll be back from the ship in late August, and I'll be going to visit my old stomping grounds, UMass...any chance you have a regular gig I can come peep? |

Great playing Doug. I play the same tune a lot but I don't pick up as many strings as you do sometimes.
It is a very beautiful solo tune for the steel guitar. |

Doug, I do a very old tune titled "The West, a Nest, and You, Dear" that always gets a nice round of applause whenever I do it on the steel. It's a bit slow so you have to be very careful that you don't drag the bar too much. Give it a try. It's also has a very beautiful melody for the steel as long as it's done right.
Whenever I play this tune, I use three strings only four times in the entire arrangement. Mostly two strings but it goes over very well. |

Hi Doug,
Amazing coincidence. I just learned that tune on C6 a few days ago, and now you are playing it on my ex-blonde. That's her, right?
Nice job.
Best,
Bob |

Hmmm, 4/4 time, I've never tried it as on old time waltz. As long as you and I consider the same beat as I do for an old time waltz. The version I play is a belly rubbing, slow waltz. |

Hi Bob! Yes, I played the song on your old Stringmaster... the one I bought from you a couple of weeks ago. It’s got a real nice tone, strong pickups. I’m in love with the blonde already!

Bill Hatcher, thanks for your kind words. Much appreciated!

Les, I'm not sure I'm reading your post right, but a "waltz" is 3/4 time. A slow 4/4 song is not a waltz... but I'm sure you know that. 
"The West, and Nest and You" is in 3/4 time (a waltz), as shown below.
