Yo Dan, I've worked on some steels that would be better off being launched in that thing!

I loved Joe Bosalls singing. One of my favorite tenors. Condolences to the family as well as the Oak’s organization.

Gene Parsons plays a Fender 800, has since the late '60's when Leo gave him his first one (which he still has). He just built up another one out of old parts. He has it tuned to D9 with 7 pedals and ...

Yes I plan on going,Lord willing and the creek don’t rise!

Gary, you know…there is a definite bias against “Banjer” here on the forum. b0b hated banjo Very Happy

I'm one of the last 5 people on earth who are not Facebook members but there are zillions who are. Hope it works well for you.

Me Too !

This…really….hurts ! I really enjoyed his music and his personality. He had his own thing going. A guy who became successful on his own terms. Cancer freakin’ sucks ! May he rest in peace.

I remember John and I had a few conversations. He was involved with Performance guitars, and knew and worked with Neil Zaza, a guitar virtuoso from the Cleveland area. RIP John.

He was at the forefront of the “urban cowboy” movement during my formative years. From Countrypolitan to pure Honkytonk, he could do it all. I really liked his vocal stylings.

Condolences to the family. He was a great player and a very nice man. I only met him a few times, but I really enjoyed our conversations.

I'm actually one of the new steel players Marc Jenkins mentioned from his November show. I do production and play in a few bands and my last 3 projects have been super enthusiastic about using Lap or ...

The Deltalite is an 8 ohm speaker vs the stock 4 ohm. Maybe a 3db volume loss. The eminence is a more efficient speaker than the stock, so the volume loss may not be perceivable…YMMV. Ken Fox explai ...

It should be against the law to play that good Laughing

Think about this for a moment. I have my father’s business receipts from when he owned his own semi’s in the mid 60’s. A flat tire repair on a trailer cost him $2.50 . You can’t even buy a val ...

The Midnight Hauler is taking it on him. RIP

It's rough reading the gone home section anymore. Mike was an inspiration to say the least. His passing really brings home the lyric "who's gonna fill their shoes".

If only Tiny Tim were here to see this....tiptoeing through the tulips

COVID is partially to blame. I work in the shipping business. It’s really been a tough time. People have been forced to shop from home. The whole business model for suppliers and consumers has basic ...

Dustin, would you like for me to send your post directly to Hartley?
He does not read the SGF or FB.

Sure Bill. Iâ€™ll own up to my wrongs !

Yeah Erv, I’ve always liked the NV400 for steel. I just dismissed their ss offerings. I think I just got caught up in the “only tube amps are worthy” mentality for a while. I just couldn’t bel ...
