Very good!

Saw CS here (Scotland) a couple of times, with his mother, in a couple of little places in a village called Kinross.
Good gigs, at which he played only steel, all night, so lots of fun ...

standards album and really like it.
He's only playing piano on it - no guitar - but it really swings and his singing is grand.

Sounds really cool!

I may well follow up by going for the chord charts as well, later on.

Cheers.

Yup, that's cool.

never heard of him, but he's good!

Thanks.

No sound clips - sorry.

It has a 4 position switch, so p/ups can be in series or parallel. Both positions sound good, but when gigging I basically either have one or other p/up on at any ...

I replaced the pickups with other Teisco-style ones and used the steel's pickups in a guitar (see pic).

Astonishing, wasn't it? Incredible number of instruments (steels, guitars, basses...) and amps, racked in tiered rows on his walls. Hundreds and hundreds.

Excellent! Saw BF, GL and Jenny S doing the Beatles' songs here, in Edinburgh, a few years back. Great gig, so album should be treat.

I remember seeing the "classic" HW Band many years back, in Edinburgh, as part of The festival here. Great band, with Bobby Valentino and BJ Cole in that line-up, along with a great female s ...

Those pickups do, indeed, sound great. I have an identical Guyatone...that I got for £25 in a junk shop in Keith, in the (Scottish) Highlands! One of those really lucky finds that are all-too-rare. ...

Actually, Malcolm, there'll be a steel at the Glasgow gig: Owen's playing steel, since I'm playing lead.

This is a UK made steel, located in Edinburgh.

The steel's tuned to E7th and the benders mimic A&B pedals on an E9th steel (i.e. 2nd string whole tone raise and 3rd string semitone raise).

That clip sounds very nice indeed!

Some really cool playing in that interview!

I've never had a problem. Can't remember my gauges - and don't have a packet of strings to hand just now - but I just use the standard set of E7th tuning strings which is sold on this site, if that's ...

Yup, very good. And very generous of him to make all his tab so freely available!

The steel on both the black and white and laminate flooring (in Crowbear's pics) was mine. Bought froma Music Go Round, when I lived in Chicago.

Sad news. Thanks, as always, Ann, for all the generous help and advice over the years and - as I say - it's very sad to read this announcement. Good luck.

Actually, you know two guys, Malcolm: my 1st steel was a White, S-10, 4+4.
As you say, wide string-spacing, but not uncomfortable. However, it was very heavy!

Looked pretty, like an LDG (but blue) ...

Hi, Roman

I like that a lot. Good band you have, too.
If you ever tour up this way do let me know: I'd enjoy seeing you guys play. Ach, maybe I should go to Brighton, again - it's a nice town.

Cheers - good ...
