The Steel Guitar Forum

Lately I have been watching alot of youtube videos of Billy Mata....those guys are great and Roger is a wonderful steel player...so tasteful and great, great sound. I just cant get enough of that traditional Texas Western Swing music,,,and the band always looks great...dressed in nice western suits and hats...it is nice to see bands that show respect...call me old fashioned I still have a hard time listening to the music if the band wears tee shirts and baseball caps turned around...no matter how good they sound. Ok, I will get off my soap box. Anyway, if you havent checked out youtube with these videos...i highly encourage you to do so !!! Wonderful stuff !!!

Yes, I agree! Roger is a fine player and gentleman, and I'm proud to call him a friend. Billy has a great band.

The best western swing band in Texas. Go To Billy Mata.com and order a couple of cds. You'll be glad you did.
