The Steel Guitar Forum

Ok guys, here's the first.
I have posted a video from 1994 International Steel Guitar Convention of Jimmy Day playing "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down"

Every one of you let Scotty know how grateful we are for allowing this.

Bill,
Thank you soooo much for posting that clip of the great Jimmy Day!

I would also like to thank you Bill. That was great!!!

Well done, Bill & Scotty for making this available

Love that!! Thanks Bill F. and Scotty

Just wonderful. Thanks Bill and Scotty.

The new generation of steel players don't know what they've missed! Thanks Bill & Scotty for letting the "kids" see one of the masters.

Thanks Bill, that was great,I love it.
Jimmy Day was one of the very greatest steel
players of all time.What a blessing to see this, Thank You, Leon

Thank you very much for posting the video. My kind of country music Phil

Thanks so much for sharing this video with us. Seeing Jimmy Day's right hand in motion was a dream come true!

For the next one, how about a ballad ? I would really love to see his vibrato.

Thanks to Bill and Scotty...it was fun to watch, a great lesson in many ways; keeping the melody alive, the limited use of knee levers and I'm sure several more items I haven't caught up to yet. What a treat. Thanks again.

Roger, I'm part of the new generation and certainly do know what I missed ..........and it breaks my heart. My biggest regret about not taking up the steel earlier is missing the chance to see Jimmy Day and maybe even shake his hand.

Bill, thank you so much for posting this video. It's absolutely awesome to watch him play on such good quality video.

Thanks Scotty and thanks Bill!!

It just can't be beat. I'm 69 and can't get enough. Just wish there was more of it now.

Absolutely love it! My thought after viewing and listening to Jimmy's performance of this song is: "class with a honky tonk edge"! This is the exact kind of presentation and playing that I have always found so inspiring. Thanks to Bill & Scotty for making this available.
