The Steel Guitar Forum

I know you're just getting home and getting unpacked
but when you get time, post some of you Dallas pics
and let us know what caught your attention at the show this year. Thanks!

i don't have any pics downloaded yet because i stayed til 2:22am in Sid Hudsons Live Steel Strings room listening to some great playing by Sid, Russ Hicks, Joan Cox and many others - amazing jam....then another hour in the bar talking steel...just walked in the door at home...i'm going to bed now...

Here is a rare occurrence. We made Mickey Adams take that trademark baseball cap off for this shot. He can't quite let it go out of his hand.

My highlight memory of the show was Buck Reid's seminar. As usual, it was full of interesting licks, fills, technical advice and that tone from his Infinity through his Peavey 112 amp with the Telonics speaker installed. Awesome sound, and 2 superb sets on Friday and Saturday nights. Buck had an exceptional weekend.

I got a few good ones

Thanks, folks. Keep them coming... Wish I could have been there.

Sid Hudson, great player, fast as lightning.

a very interesting and telling picture of jay dee.
i love that guy!
why would someone with a new super infinity steel be playing an old clunky push pull?
because that's what he feels like. so cool.
evidently nothing quite sounds and feels like the old axe.

The party that I was with felt that JD had the best tone of the Emmons players over the weekend, but that Buck Reid's tone was the best of everyone's. I have to admit that I have never heard him sound better.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jim Harrison's photo's of the players. He always does a great job.

Wow. I never knew Mickey had a full head. I thought it ended where the ball cap started.

Here's David Wright the Latest Inductee into the Texas Steel Guitar Association's Hall Of Fame, March 2015 at the Jamboree.
I am proud to call David my instructor, friend, and mentor.

I never get to the steel guitar shows but would like to match the names with those Forum members.

Would you guys who took photos list the name of those in the photos, please

The only ones I think I know are Mickey in photo 2, the second from the left; in photo 3 JD and Jim Smith. In photo 5 is David Wright on the left?

Thanks for the compliment Steve! I don't think anyone has ever mistaken Herb for me before!

Unfortunately, I was only there for about a hour, but here are a few pictures.



Reece's "Bb is where it's at" guitar rebuilt by Darvin and owned by David.



The last MSA Millennium built.



Ralph Mooney's guitar and hat.



Beautiful blue Mullen.

Here is one I am proud of, myself with Eddy Dunlap. This young man is a great picker and he was so friendly too. Great job Eddy on your set.

Here is a picture of Fred Justice and Eddy Dunlap. Both of these men can sure play and very well.

Jim Smith, both you and Herb have that "movie star quality" which caused my error. stevet

Nice pictures and a great site Georg, PS I live up the road from you.

Hi Dixie! ( You too Charley)
