Thanks guys, I believe I have it figured out. please close. Cool

I have a push/pull emmons that's been lowered 1 inch that I need to put back to stock height. Need legs and pedal rods. Either I can trade you the lowered stuff or buy outright. thanks!

I know a lot of players who don't pay much attention to what the steel players are doing in the background of a tune. That's a big mistake! there's a treasure trove of golden licks in those "fi ...

Pete, thanks so much for your kind words. I have to admit, after hanging around Nashville for a few days and hearing the likes of Tommy White, Doug Jernigan, Tommy Hannum, and a few other excell ...

This version is from Curtis's first album "Here Comes Cutis Potter", recorded (I'm pretty sure) before Reggie was born. The steel player is Weldon Myrick (my favorite)

Interestingly, ...

Darrell will most likely have the awesome Randy Reinhard on steel guitar. You won't be disappointed.

I'll never forget the first time I saw this film. It was 1998 and my reaction was very similar to Mike's, completely overcome with emotion. It was an absolute epiphany and it immediately changed ev ...

I'm in the same boat as you, Joe. A weird nerve disorder caused me to lose about 95% usage of my middle finger. Ring and pinky don't work either. I didn't injure it or do anything to it. One day ...

I agree with you, Alan. Poor taste and lousy stage etiquette are not "instrument specific".

the MIGHTY Rick Price. Winking

Mike, I think that song is on her album "I'll Love You More". Monument label. Hope all is well with you, have a great holiday. Smile

Rick, I'm sorry to hear that. I've had to face the same options, mainly drugs and I don't see the point and couldn't afford it anyway. I'm really fortunate to be able to still play as much as I ca ...

Thanks Bob! I just want to clarify, that although I do make my living as a steel guitar player, I am actually going to be on the 6 stringer for this show. I have no idea what I'm going to do other ...

Good Luck sir. You can definitely overcome your CTS. Dystonia is a tougher one but it has been done. If you do conquer it I'd sure like to know how you did it. Smile

Yes, Focal Hand Dystonia, or "Musician's" Dystonia, as it is sometimes known, is a real bummer. I developed it in my right hand a couple of years ago when I started having difficulty pla ...

Excellent point David, New music is produced with every single nook and crannie filled with something so the end result is like a solid block, and about as interesting. Kind of like the difference ...

Doesn't Weldon do something a little different with his second string? Tunes it to D, or something like that?

MAN, what an awesome week of steel guitar action, I just couldn't help myself and had to post (and I sure hope it doesn't sound like I'm trying to rub it in Wink

No, sir, that is Chris Miller (brother of forum member Ian Miller) doubling on guitar and steel, Wayne's only travelling lead man at the time (ca.1996). He now plays with dave Alvin.
