Jack & Gary, we're gonna miss you guys! Can't believe you're both gone!

Haha! That's a good one, Doug. After I had been playing 6-string guitar for nearly 20 years, I decided that I wanted to add to my repertoire the pedal steel guitar. So, I bought a student model and to ...

I met Paul Jr. when he was playing with Mel Tillis years ago! They were playing at the Circle Star Theatre in Redwood City, California, and basically I did the same thing. He was just a youngster then ...

Just ordered my Gator bag for my D10 Franklin. Already bought another bag for all the hardware, rack, legs, rods, etc. What I plan on doing is having a false bottom, and side made for it to keep it se ...

I logged on to their web site the other day to order some accessories and lo and behold they are no longer in business! It goes straight into the steel guitar covers! But nothing else! What happened! ...

Paul,

First, hi from California.

Now on to business..., I haven't had the chance to change my Franklin to the four pedal, or as some call it the "X" pedal setup, and I'm having proble ...

In case anybody is interested..., I got this info from Terry Wood who was there that day when this picture was taken and he says that this is a list of the people in this picture, now I haven't broken ...

Hi Mike, I just last night ran across your post on your OMI Dobro. I have a few questions, and I know it's been some time since you even posted this, But I guess my first question before I even ask an ...

Ha! Larry,

I got into the bottom of my Franklin, finally it was so heavy. I had my neighbor help me turn it upside down and into the case finally! Found the GPS tracker and turned it off so I don't ...

Chris,

No, my Franklin is no longer going to be gathering dust. I had some health issues that kept me from getting out to play, and cost me some playing time, but those issues are now going away an ...

Gentlemen,

I talked to Paul Sr. myself just a couple of days ago after having another builder telling me that my Stereo D10 Franklin was worth at least $15,000.00 after it was re-finished. Mine has ...

I was out for quite some time, in and out of hospitals, and didn't follow the forum for awhile. But that's good to know. I'll pass the info along to her. I think she was actually looking to find a pla ...

David, sorry, this should probably be in a different thread.

"Have ANY steel guitar stores closed because of a lack of business?"

I don't know if any have closed because of lack of bus ...

Paul,
There were many turning points for me! You took the words right out of my mouth when you mentioned the Buddy and Lenny era! Being a player from the San Francisco, Bay Area like Bobby Black and ...

Wow! What a shocker! I too talked to Jack not very long ago. A guitar player friend of mine called me up this morning to tell me the sad news that another friend of ours told him of the very sad news. ...

Thanks Greg, I mentioned all these different lubricants and methods to my brother-in-law since he's going to be helping me, and he said that the Tri-Flow pin point method would be the way to go. Espec ...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your inputs. Now I just have to decide which way to go to re-oil my good, ole Franklin. You know when you can't push some of the pedals down with your fingers that it' ...

I asked my brother-in-law who happens to be a fairly good metals man what he thought would be a pretty good lubricant for my rods and pedals. He thought Gun Oil would be my best bet. Any thoughts, ide ...

I use to play in a little bar at a California cowboy town (for reals). Anyway, we had a drummer that use to twirl his drumsticks around while he played. Real good at it too! He would always catch my e ...

Yep! You were right on all accounts! "Diamond Rio" are the artists of "Bubba Hyde". Many, many thanks!

Bob

"Bubba Hyde" is definitely the title of the song, and you're probably right about it being "Diamond Rio" to. Thanks a million. I'll look it up!

Bob

People,

I'm looking for the lyrics, or at least the title of a song that I have stuck in my head! The only part of the song that I can remember is: "Betty Rubble, and Barney Hyde! That's all ...

Gentlemen,

Thank you so much for your help. Now armed with a wealth of information, I will check my options and decide on the path for PSG stereo amplification. Very Happy

Bob
