88, unfortunately I think you'd have to call him a sign of the times.

"The album with Bloody Mary Morning..."

I'm pretty sure the original recording of that was on Phases and Stages, and that would be John Hughey on steel.

John, my wife and I took our vacation two years ago up in Toronto. I happened to catch a documentary type show on Breau when I was up there. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same one you've see ...

Herb,

Is there any chance that Buddy Charlton will be coming down to play with Bill Kirchen's band?

Steely Dan; valium? prozac?

I'd think qualudes would be more on the mark. Sort of like smearing vasaline on your glasses and walking on a matress -- but with a killer groove.[This message was edite ...

$299 to $199...? I paid $149 for mine, the MPX100 model had only been out for a short time. Guess that's what happens when you make something that becomes popular.

It's a lot of bang, especially for the buck. A couple of years back I think I was maybe the second or third steel player on the forum who got one. I think a lot of guys on the forum had a hard time b ...

Gerald,
Do you mean in the subject line, or in the post, or both?

On the very last chord the only note that you
hit is string # 3. All strings in that phrase are only picked once.

I'm going to try posting one. Hope it works out.

Here's some phrases I play for Hag's ballad, Every Fool
Has A Rainbow. I like to play this one at a nice slow
Jimmy Day tempo.

I like the augmented ...

Bill,

You also want to make sure that none of your guitar cords are near the Profex transformer. The cords will suck up that noise and feed it right to your amp. -Dennis
