The Steel Guitar Forum

Just had David Ball at the Oaklawn Opry here in Texarkana Friday night. I had the honor to play steel and fiddle with him and we had a packed house. David is a real gentleman and such a great singer and entertainer. His band members were also just fantastic. Here's a couple pics----Henry

You're so right. David Ball is a great, but often overlooked country singer.

Sounds like a great gig, Henry. I just dusted off David's "Thinkin' Problem" CD last week because I hadn't heard it in awhile and it was just the way I remembered - country music the way it should be with lots of pedal steel.

David is to be here the first of May at a local club. My friends band will open for him. Did he have a selection of things to sell or just CD's?

He just had CD's Friday night.

Nice guitar, Henry!

Thanks Billy, it show do sound good. Still my favorite to play. I still have that D-10 Emmons P/P a got from you about 5 or 6 years ago.

I like David Ball and have three of his CD's. The one I like best is "Starlight Lounge". He uses Paul Franklin on steel for this one. I have been working on three of the songs recently. Just good music and vocals.

Henry, thanks for the pics. David appeared in our area recently--north AL-south Tn line. Didn't get to see him, but heard it was a good show. Hope he comes back in the near future.

David is also an outstanding upright bass player.

Hi Henry...wish i could have been at the opera that night...i really like David Ball, he put's on a great show...take care maybe Carol and i can come up to Texarkana sometime & go to your opera-show...Your South Texas Friends...Brian & Carolyn Folks

Speaking of David Ball playing the upright bass...Anyone ever heard of Uncle Walt's band?

tonight is the night, David Ball at THE SHACK in Del Rio Tennessee. Short drive for me. Already got my reservations.
