So sad to hear this. John was a great guy, and I loved running into him at the shows. Rest in peace, my friend.

Thanks, Sam! Seems like it might be a tuning tangle. I'll likely pass. The buyer only wants $300. We shall see.

This guitar is for sale locally, and I don't yet have additional pics. Does anyone know what brand it is based on this pic? Thanks!

I've tried most and have not come across better than the Strymon Blue Sky. The pre-delay is great for note clarity, and the decay is very organic.

Hey Chris... Very, very cool. The Jacksons have always made incredible guitars, and your new one looks awesome.
Enjoy...

Nice one Chris!! Still have the other Jackson?

Hey Marc,

After several attempts to get the Pro IV under 50 pounds in the case for flying, I had to sacrifice it to get this one. Mike Bourque boug ...

The tone of Pete Drake is always what gets me. From Nashville Skyline to All Things Must Pass, the rich scooped-out beauty of his tone was purely and uniquely his own. I love it every time I hear it.

Lloyd on Friday night. What a show. Magical.

With Pete Burak and Chris LeDrew there it'll be just like old times for me (though I'm not sure the two of you were ever at the show at the same time)! Can't wait.

I swear by my Jackson SD10 Pro IV. These are QUALITY instruments, I've put thousands of miles on mine since I got it in 2011, and it's still perfect in every way.

Can't wait for this. I'm returning after seven years away! I went 2007-2010 and haven't been back since. Looking forward to it in a big way.

I like the songs on the website & will be ordering a cd soon.

Thank you for the kind words, Jim!

You are sounding good and looking good Chris. I can't believe it's been ten years since I was up there working.
Keep it up!

Thanks, all! Great to be back on here. I need to log in more!

Abe, Bob and I are on the left and right coasts, but I'd like to meet up next time I'm in Toronto!

Great songs Chris!

Thank you, Joachim!

Bob it was a pleasure to have you on the gig. You came quite a ways to play with us, and I greatly appreciate it. This gig celebrates the value of the Steel Guitar Forum as a place where true, lifelon ...

Awful news. James and I were close in the 2008-11 time period but drifted apart a bit after I stopped going to the shows around then. We had some great times in Dallas and St. Louis, and we shared a f ...

John holds one of the top spots in the pedal steel world for pure feel and emotion. All the speed, precision, and dexterity in the world cannot match John's capacity for tugging at your heart strings ...

Go to Robert's Western World on Lower Broadway (the old Sho-Bud shop) for some authentic old-time country and swing. You won't hear "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Wagon Wheel" there.
