The Steel Guitar Forum

I had the unique experience of playing steel in in "Big House" of the Kwakwaka'wakw people in Comox BC, Canada, in 1993.

That's a great photo, Chris. Were you playing a cappello? And what did you play?

Yes. solo and I played some music I wrote.

I so remember that shirt 8>)

Keep it up; it looks like you have at least one young lady interested.

I got a message noticing that my feet are not on the pedals. This is a steel that Mitsuo Fujii san made that has a 12 string pedal neck and a lap steel neck, which I am playing, it was originally a six string neck, but the headstock could accommodate 8 strings. In Nashville, Duane Marrs so kindly donated his time and changed it into an eight string. California steeler, David Phillips has the guitar now.

I think Rains guitars made a guitar like that: one pedal neck and one non-pedal neck. I contemplated buying one but lacked the funds. I would've put E9 on the pedal neck and C6(high G) on the non-pedal neck. Maybe in my next life.

Must be a girlfriend.

As Chris says, I now have this guitar and am hoping to gig with it in the future.
Thank you for entrusting your Excel with me.
Chris is an awesome friend!

Steel guitar will get you through time of no woman better than woman will get you through time of no steel guitar.

I sure hope so....
