The Steel Guitar Forum

Here is a pic from tonight's gig at a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Austin. What a pleasure to play for the prez and a thrill to get to shake his hand. I couldn't be quite sure what he said when he came over but I swear I thought I heard him say, "Push-pull?"

Wow!! cool gig.

Good timing on the snap shot!

Congratulations.

From the way it looks in the pic, you're the prez up on the dais! Nice one!

Nice!

What an Honor! Congratulations.

Wow, not many steel players have a picture like that. Nice one.

Did you get him an autographed copy of your cd?:)

When I saw the pic on the front page of the paper this morning, I noticed they mentioned the name of the band and everyone was in the pic except the steel player. Left wing conspiracy? OK, maybe not. Way cool fer you!

Marty...Great picture...

Probably photoshopped, just like the moon landing...

Wow - congrats - how many people get to shake hands with the President of the United States?

Did you guys do "Sweet Home Al-Obama?"

Congrats Marty !

Oh, just for the record, my previous post was in jest. (I'm no dummy; I know that the moon launch probably wasn't photoshopped.)

Congrats, Marty! (I bet you'll never wash that hand again, right?)

Wow, finally a president who knows his Emmons guitars.

Congratulations!

Congrats Marty!

Obama-Steel fan?

Could be... he was raised in Hawaii.

Marty,How Cool is that !

Great Marty !!

Didn`t want to feed the troll

uh-oh ,Charlie, does that mean Chris is a MAC ? hehehe.....Stormy ps: way cool pic Marty

BTW my comment about Hawaii was not meant to be political in any way. I'm just saying that he may notice the Steel Guitar more than most people because he was raised in Hawaii.

ha ha...you folks get excited easily!
i think it's a neat picture...i'd be proud of it....but he probably thought it was a keyboard.

Congratulations Marty

That's quite an honor.

Thanks for sharing that with us!

Ahhhh Man, didn't you guys know that ole Barack likes alot of Steel when he's listenin to his favorite country tunes. He's even got his self a bar and some picks. Afterall he was from Hawaii where Steels were born. I'm glad to see the Prez has a very discriminating taste, and is able to pick out that classic tone that only comes from a Emmons push-pull

I would have payed to do that.That would be the pinical of my career to play for the prez.Please don't turn this polical.He is the leader of our country.
