John,

Thanks for your 'structions and offer of telephone support!

>Say< it is about all I can do!

Weeelllll, I don't have that change, and my axe can't be changed. My second string knee lever only lowers it a half step.

Does that sink me?

Ah, yes, Pete Drake. He was Billy Sherrill's right hand steel man back then, wasn't he?

None at all?

Does anyone know of any Charlie Daniels albums featuring strong steel playing?

Thanks!

Is "Country Favorites, Willie Nelson Style" the best steel album from Willie? (Buddy Charleton as member of The uncredited backup band: Ernest Tubb's Troubadors.)

Do any of his later, outlawish alb ...

Apparently not, huh?!

Anyone ever seen / used this thing?

Looks like a good idea to me.

Any thoughts?

Jack,

Oh, that's a whole 'nother story! My amp is an ancie ...

Bob,

Yeah, I've read that and I can se ...
