I'm not sure of the name of this tune that Fred plays but he sure plays fantastic.
Here's a nice you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frM5hDxvZlQ
I hear a lot of Hal Rugg and Lloyd Green in his playing. Does anyone know who does that song? and its name? .
I've heard Fred's name lots over the years, but haven't heard his playing. Very, very nice.

It's "Tara's Theme" from Gone With the Wind...

Yes Fred sounds great!!!

edit....did I mention he makes a beautiful PSG!!!

Thanks
Ah yes it's on the "Slide" record. So that must be Lloyd then, because I don't remember Hal being there..
Weldon Myrick was kind enough to invite me to that session.
It was a steel record that honored Pete Drake and had around six top pedal players on it.
Pete Drake was unable to play, but sat at the mixing console.
Each songs involved several steel players, so the recording booth was dripping with some heavey weight steel grease!
It was most fun being a fly on that wall. Thank you Weldon!
It's hard to record two or more steel players so things don't "clash".

Thanks guy's, I appreciate it.

:0)

Fred rocks...

........furthermore, Fred (and Justice guitars) rule...wish that I had more money than I do.

A bump for Fred....

Very nice pickin' my old pal! Lupe

Sounding "GREAT" BRUDDA!!

Real nice Freddy, sure was pretty. That is a good add for M.S.A... Time to play one on a FRED.

I agree with Danny....It's time to you on a "Justice" my friend!!

Tara's Theme by Fred was recorded live at Our Annual Ozark Steel Guitar Association Show on 7/29/07 at The Baldknobbers Theater in Branson. How about the band in the video ? Mike McGee on bass, Michael "Arkansas Red" Breid on guitar, R.P. Harrell on keybord,Bruce Hoffman and Wade Landry on twin fiddles and the great Chuck Landry on drums. Just don't get any better folks.

Here's a picture of Fred on that set :

Fred, that Justice just doesn't look right. Is that one of the early ones???

Bill your right, don't get any better than them boys!!!

Larry you knot head. ya, one of the early ones.

In fact, my buddy Matt Prouty is coming back to town and I'm going to get Matt to get me set up with my video cam and You Tube.
My goal is to put something up on You Tube of each of our models, so stay tuned.

Fred is A Master Steel Guitar picker. I am proud to call him my friend. Love ya. Fred.
Bill.

Fred was great helping me, and very patient with my questions. we spoke a few times on the phone, and quite a few emails getting my order right. I hope he considers me his friend, I certainly consider him mine.
