As I mentioned when we had breakfast together, hearing my steel playing friends is a treat, but the best part is the "hang." Great to finally get to meet you, Roger.
Chuck

Glad that you have found a way to continue on your steel guitar journey. Keep on keepin' on!

I always enjoyed Bishop Ronnie's posts and videos. A unique stylist. My condolences to his friends and family.

Sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was a good friend to me and to the steel guitar community, and I will miss him. My condolences to Lisa and the family.
Chuck

Very cool, Mike! You really captured the groove of that tune. I read that Hal Blaine played the drums on the original.
Happy Holidays,
Chuck

Nice job, Mike. I like how you go into "no man's land" way up high. Cool tone with a bit of "hair."
Happy Thanksgiving,
Chuck

Nice version. Great that you are so inventive with the lap steel.
Keep on steelin',
Chuck

Wow, Steve! So creative and unique. Those harmonics are beautiful.

Thanks, Donny. Yup, those tunes were definitely from the long ago, but as the Byrds would sing, "I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now."
Chuck

Thanks, Joachim. As music history shows, having the right or wrong management makes a big difference.

Hi Jerry,
I have Faded Love tabbed out for C6th lap steel. Send me your "snail mail," and I'll get you a copy. Best of luck with the steel guitar.

Nice recording, Mike. I always liked that tune, and your arrangement brings out the noir atmosphere.
Chuck

Chuck

Nice arrangement, Mike. Nothing beats playing the melodies on the steel.
Chuck

Sad news. Dixie was such a part of the Mullen family. I always remember her phone call when she told me my Mullen guitar was ready for pickup. May her memory be a blessing.
Chuck

Wow! Chris is a new voice on the steel guitar!
Chuck

I'll buy the BBE Maximizer. Send me your address and I'll get you a check.
Chuck

Hi Larry. Glad that you are enjoying the music.
Happy Merry,
Chuck
