The Steel Guitar Forum

I finally got another video up on YouTube. This is the first one I've posted since Christmas. I guess I'm getting kinda lazy in my old age. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my E9th version of an old jazz standard, "There Will Never Be Another You".

Bob,

Great job on this one! The sound and video quality was superb! Could you comment on what you used to record this video?

Don

Sounds great Bob! Great tune too.

Bob, I think you're like fine wine...you get better and better...jr

Very nice Bob. This is the best video yet and your guitar sounds great. Post some more soon.

Hey Bob!
A tremendous work. Beautiful song, and a knock out job on the camera switching work. Loved everything about it. Keep up the great work, but don't wait for Christmas this year, before we hear another great song.
God bless,
Bishop Ron

Wow Bob, that was fantastic! Love all your videos.

Great old standard Bob, nice clean sound,that's the way to play. There should always be a place for that kind of music in Clubs today.

Regards, from Mike Tyne in Sydney, Australia.

Bob I ALWAYS enjoy your videos and getting to hear and watch you play... I agree with Paul... BEST video yet... you’re getting pretty fancy with your camera work and of course you playing is always top notch... BTW... love your wall decor, namely that Sho~Bud Fretboard... get idea!!

Bob, thanks for posting this! Your picking is FINE! I remembered the name of the song, but I didn't remember how it went; you did a fantastic job, Brother! I really enjoy how clean your sound and picking is on your videos. Obviously, the Zumsteel Encore is a superb instrument, but I have heard your videos with other steels and you sound great on them all. I really like the color scheme on the Encore, beautiful!
Please keep up the great work! Roger

Super job on a great song. Made that E9th sound very jazzy.

Bob you sound great as always. I just got through listening to the album you recorded with Mouse and the Traps on RCA records back in the 70's after 40 years once again.(Rio Grande album)
Still as good as ever. I'm gonna have to upload that album to YouTube. Those recordings might be ready to be a hit by now. They are already a hit with me. Hey folks! Bob's picture is on the back of the album cover too! Great album!

Thanks so much guys for the comments, and thanks for watching my videos.
Don Mogle...concerning how the videos are recorded, My son does all the work and I just do the playing. Without his help these videos probably would never have happened. Basically, the audio is recorded on a Tascam DR-07 portable digital recorder and synced with the video using Adobe Audition software.

I am loving this Zum Encore. It is a little tone monster. I'm playing it on about ten to fourteen jobs a month and it has performed flawlessly.

Hey, David Mitchell. Great to hear from you. How are things in East Texas? The Rio Grande album was a blast to do.. I sure miss those guys. I guess they're still playing together.

Bob Mouse and the Traps just had a 50 year reunion last month at the old Liberty Theatre on Broadway. Mouse had a lung transplant about 2 years ago and he is doing fine and back to playing and singing again. Robin Hood just had a hip replaced and he's back at the studio working. Corky had coronary bypass surgery but he's still working. I had AML leukemia about 7 years ago and a bone marrow transplant but I'm reflooring my house at the moment. Hoss Huggins had a sinking spell but he's over it. Praise the good Lord! He's,gotta keep us here to keep making good music!

Wow, Bob, that was wonderful ! Such a great old tune and you do it sooooo nice ! I try to keep up with all the videos you post, but I missed this one until this morning. That makes it really special that your son does those recordings for you...great service to you, for him, and the rest of us out here who love your playing ! Keep 'em coming !!

Bob check your PM.
Bill.

Sounds great, Bob! I really enjoyed that.

I listened earlier in the week a few times and just now a few more times.

Not to take anything away from your perfect execution and playing, but that little Encore just really sings.

You have the most fabulous tone...what I've been looking for and just never found in the nearly 40 yrs. I've been playing.

In every way, that is one of the nicest steel guitar performances I've ever heard. I just have to say it again.

Sounds great !(what is the pick up on your Encore ?)

Thanks for all the comments.
John, the pickup on the Encore is their custom made humbucking pickup. I don't know who builds the pickup for them, but it sounds great.

Bob, outstanding! I'm coming over for lessons. Keep posting videos.

Really enjoyed your posted music, thanks for sharing.
