The band fell apart, can close this sucker up.

If for some reason the cost of Carter Starters used has gone up that much and I'm being unreasonable (which is a distinct possibility, I'm reeeeeeeally out of the loop), please feel free to let me kno ...

To clarify............ One of the reasons I mentioned the Carter Starter in my post is because of cost (I believe they were around $800 when they first came out. I'm not looking for a "nice" ...

Will give you a call, give me a couple days, scary busy this weekend!!!

Bueller, Bueller?

Where is Glen Allen? Looking for a more specific answer than "Virginia." Winking

Hola, looking for a guitar I can just set up at rehearsal space and leave it there. Ideally looking for Carter Starter or any other "beginner/student" model. I know I'm not on here often, bu ...

Bill Buntin, of course the loud part was the correct part. At one point the singer named a song, I saw a blank look on the drummers face, I said it's a lazy blues shuffle..... the blank look didn't go ...

Years ago I was hired as a sit in bass player for a band. The drummer introduced himself to me, said his name and "I'm one of the best drummers in the area because I'm one of the loudest." H ...

Thank you Jim, much appreciated. I'm not familiar with his name, but reeeeeeeally enjoyed the steel playing on that album.

Anyone know who played steel on The Pridesmen instrumental album? It would be the one that started with Spitoon and Raisin' The Dickens.

Thanks Jeff, that's great!!!! I'm guessing there are more than a handful of us on here that would love to have back a guitar that was "borrowed" somewhere down the line.

Many thanks sir. I so rarely get on here, I'm painfully out of the loop. Is there another thread with the story of the recovery or does anyone know what happened?

Two questions if I may.......... What is he playing these days and did his old stolen guitar ever turn up?

Thanks Brett, much appreciated.

What kind of steel is Norm playing these days?

If I remember correctly, George Jones was holding one on the cover of one of his albums. Good looking guitar.

Trying to figure out how to post a pic of us from Ocean City. Can anybody walk me through this? I'll check back tomorrow afternoon, thanks!!!!

Oh right!!!!!!!!! How on earth did I neglect to mention that SWEEEEEEEEEET Bud of his!!!!!!! Thanks for reminding me Ron!

I just realized the phrase "long litany" is redundant............ oopsie!!!!!!!

I got to meet this fine gentleman last night when opening for George Jones in Ocean City, MD (I believe his name is Tom?). After a short conversation we discovered one thing we had in common was a DEE ...

Yikes!!!!!!!! Mr. Tuxen played ALL the other instruments!?!?!?!? I'm currently colored impressed.

There is a reason that Tony Bennett was Frank Sinatra's favorite singer.

I was listening to a bunch of Mr. Green's albums for the umpteenth time when for some reason the Reflections album really hit me between the eyes this time. The album is full of gorgeous melodies, tas ...

While Beethoven could most certainly improvise with the best of them (according to MANY written accounts) and was mostly deaf when he wrote his 5th piano concerto, and completely deaf when he wrote th ...
