I wish! I have had a chance to meet him though. I told him I was the REAL Craig Ferguson, but of course he insisted that he was. A brief argument, ("no, I'm Craig Ferguson...NOOO, I'm Craig Fe ...

Hi,

Craig Ferguson here. I'm taking part in a new band here in Los Angeles called Fred Heffelin III. I am playing lap steel exclusively with this group. This band would best be described as expe ...

Sm57's will do fine but if you can afford the extra cash get a sennheiser 421. It has a nice bass roll-off feature and pristine high end. It's also dynamic so you don't have to worry about phantom p ...

LJ,

I live in silver lake just up the hill from the reservoir about halfway between the 101 and The 5. I gig in town often, sometimes 4 nights a week (plus rehearsals...). So I'm always loading a ...

Bump!

Thanks for the reply's guys. It is a rosewood mica finish. I will try to post a photo and serial number in the next day or so.

Hi. The following was stolen from my vehicle overnight on the early morning of sept. 5th. If you see or hear about my PSG or any of the other items please email me.

Don't forget that Gabe also spent several years playing with Jerry Douglas (while sporting the mohawk!). I'll never forget seeing JD for the first time and then looking to his right and saying, " ...

Ronald,

Bummer I missed out. Please email me and keep me posted. Hank rocks!

Mike,

Hey, how are you? Put me down for Sunday please! I can't wait!

When I'm mixing I have to admit that I like my sounds going in dry (natural room reverb can be okay...) because when I begin to mix I want to hear the "naked truth" of the track. If the tra ...

Hi. I'm in the market for a double 6 string lap for some live gigs where I need multiple tunings. I know the stringmaster is great for this but I'm really not interested in dbl. 8 string. I've seen ...

I think it sounds amazing on my SD-10! Really warm tone.

Just got to see Ryan Adams open up for Willie Nelson last night at the Hollywood Bowl. Was wondering if any of you guys know who the steel player is in Ryan Adams new band as I didn't get his name.

When making a performance demo my best advice is to:

1) Try to keep all your sources the same. Its hard to mix and match live performances with studio recordings unless your live recordings are top ...

Boo,

Yeah, I really really wanted this gig a few months ago (in fact I still do) but I just don't know if I can go out on the road with their offer. What was the bassist's name again? I talked to h ...

On John's latest record "fair and square" steel is played by dan dugmore. Check out "crazy as a loon". Great song![This message was edited by Craig Ferguson on 30 August 2006 at 11:05 PM.]

A union contract is about the only way you can get any kind of residuals. If you're AFM, consider the Limited Pressings contract. If the artist sells more than 10,000 copies (or digital downloads), ...

Amazon. Because it's a hard find, I put it on my wish list and then periodically checked to see if it was available. Snagged it about 6 months ago new for $9.

Clarion is the way to go. I have about 14,000 insured at 161.00 a year with a $100 deductible. Can't beat that! If its good enough for the major symphony orchestras its good enough for me.

I've got an SD-10. Shoot me an email. I think its a great guitar.

Ricky,

Sorry the 7L is a typo. Should be 8. Thanks!

Hey. Just workin' on this Dale Watson tune. Pretty sure its Ricky Davis but I can't confirm. Anyway, there's a blistering little lick at about 00:28 that I think I've got but would like some opinio ...

Well, having been a jazz guitarist before starting steel I certainly have had my share of "cutting" experiences. Jazz can be a real "soul crusher", especially if you can't play giant steps backwards ...
