There was a singer last night March 9th on RFD TV's Midwest Country named Alex or Alec Parenteau. Does anybody know who was playing steel for him. Looked like a Sho-Bud. Thanks, Bobby

Could you send me your phone number and we can talk. If it sounds OK I will drive down to Duluth.

I'm interested and only about 70 miles away. South of Bovey.

That's Gerald Merhar. He's my neighbor and a good friend. I showed that video to him one night and he said yep that's me.

I am presently taking lessons from John Ely up here in northern Minnesota and he is still playing an old Fender. Sounds really good too.

I am actually from the Grand Rapids area and am very much a beginner but would like to get together just to learn. Would really appreciate just being around other steel players. My skill level is such ...

Bob and Roger thanks for the info.

When is the Convention in Dallas? I would like to go but don't know the dates.

Who is playing steel on Kenny Chesney's recording of Away In A Manger. It was posted on You Tube in November of 2008. I don't know when it was recorded.

All of the Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart recordings with Ralph Mooney on the steel. Love it!!!

Sorry about that double post.

Hi David, Just discovered you on you-tube about six weeks ago and have spent way too much time watching and listening to your videos since then. I really enjoy them. Hope you get that hand problem fix ...

About a month for me.

Billy, The Blackjack is all pull on the changer and the body is wood laminate. Hope that answers your question. I'm not to savvy on the technical aspects of a steel guitar.

Zane, I just got a brand new Blackjack. I am very much a beginner but hope to be able to play it someday. It sure is pretty.

I'll tell him you asked about him. He is trucking over the road so I only see him about once a week but I talk to him on the phone two or three times a week.
