The Steel Guitar Forum

For those interested,i just received a call to play on the ACM Award Show next(Wed.), i believe with LeANN Rimes. Don't have a show time,actually i don't even know what we'll be playing. This show will be a first for me and i'm hoping that they will feature the Steel a little. Check it out if you can! Thanks!!

BUCK, I wouldn't miss watching and hearing you play for nothing!!! Lenora and I will try again this summer to see one of your shows will Lyle too. Thanks, for letting us all know about the ACM show this Wed.

Congratulations, Buck! Now I will definitely want to see/hear the show.

Hey Buck. That's way cool! We'll be watching for you, and congratulations on the gig.

Buck, I'll be in Florida next week...away from a TV, but, I'll be taping it back here...way to go...Pat

That's good news, Buck - I doubt I'd have watched it but I will now!

Hi Buck, I'll be working for the Academy there at the awards show, (Mandalay Bay Hotel) Sunday through Wednesday. It would be nice to meet you. If you want to hook up, please get in touch with the ACM security folks at the hotel.

Hey buddy, you sounded great. So did LeAnne...

Buck, that was really outstanding, Leann wasn't bad either.

Sorry Buck, I was so bored that I fell asleep and missed the last 20 min. of the show! I was watching especially to see and hear you, but; I couldn't hold out long enough! Maybe they'll do a re-run later, and I can catch the last 20! Sorry again! “Uh~” “Big John” wknsg® http://community.webtv.net/KeoniNui/BigJohnBechtels

Buck, that was really a great tune and your Steel was awesome behind Leanne. I feel this was one of the top ACM show perfomances .

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome job. I heard the great playing, then remembered you were playing for her.

Tasteful, appropriate, and your tone was terrific.

I only wish I could have understood the words she sang. Her singing was great, but I have no idea what the song was about.

Your fan,

David Spires

I agree with DS... your playing was verrrry nice, and upfront in the mix! my wife was flummoxed trying to understand what LR was singing, particularly at the end (except the yodel came thru)... I admit I was too, but the steel?...FABULOUS!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 22 May 2003 at 06:01 AM.]</p></FONT>

MR.BUCK REID---EXCELLENT---But after listening to Sweet Memories I didn't expect anything less from you. Nobody could have done it any better.

Sincere thanks to everyone for the kindness! This was quite an experience and considering the backstage chaos that goes with a show like this,it's amazing that anyone performs well! I felt that our effort was a good one and i appreciate all the replies and emails! Thanks guys!!

Verry nice, Buck. It's always a pleasure to hear you, but the ACM stuff was outstanding.
