That is exactly what I've been thinking.

This is very sad. His was a vital and, yes, you could say a beautiful presence in the midst of this good forum. He was, clearly, a fine man. My thoughts are with his family.

Every good wish, Rick. Believe me, you'll be a new man when it's over.(hope he can play that black Remington Smile

Thanks Josh! Much enjoyed. My absolute favourite Hawaiian tune!

Thanks for the link, Ross. Hi,Ron.

Interesting project. No surprise that they sell so quickly. I'd like to hear more sound clips- particularly of a few different lap steels. No doubt that'll come ...

Following on from Ron's question about the Swart amps: ARE there any new amps that are as compatible with a vintage lap steel as the old Valco-mades are said to be?

Brilliant! Every good wish to Katelyn and to all that encourage her.

Another wee jewel.

Wow! Thanks, Andy Very Happy

Thank goodness for that. What a wonderful gift this man gave to us. That it should die with him is unthinkable.

Bump. Maybe somebody looking inspiration missed this on page one.

That was truly special.

If I remember correctly, the UK practice is to only credit the payee's account when the cheque has actually reached its bank of origin, and the matter is beyond dispute.

I'm not an expert in these ...

Much enjoyed your playing, James. I sent you an email.

BRAW!

Hi Michael,
What kinda animal is a "UK http proxy"? Can you tell me, please, how to set this up in order to send this BBCiplayer stuff to Kay?

Iain.

This evening at 10.20 GMT on BBC1 TV. Alan Yentob on the History of the Guitar. Seems to be the second of three programmes. It's entitled "Out of the Frying Pan" and concerns the early evolu ...

I thought that was brilliant, Ed! Look forward to more.

Good to hear the enthusiasm about this book by Mr. Volk. I think I'd probably like to buy one, but what book IS it! I Amazoned "Andy Volk" and got "African Folk Tales" and a little ...

eBay Item No. 230282508102. Looks clean. BIN $350 seems not bad, especially for a stateside buyer. Whatjathink? This is meant to be a heads-up; I've already got one. (No connection with vendor.)

Hi George,
I've no doubt Michael's right. Incidentally, it's very like a Jedson I had. They, too, were made in Japan and exported to the USA- and to Europe, I believe. I seem to remember som ...

Would rechroming affect the original, vintage quality, and hence the value of the instrument? I was thinking of getting the plates of my '37 Rick B6 done locally.

Hi Robbie,

Fred's dead right. I got a MINT 1962 National with Aiello-ised magnets for a total cost of just under £300 from an American gentleman on this forum. From eBay I got an as-new W ...

May I add my thanks, Ron. This man should certainly be remembered. Lovely touch: he's not "playing" the guitar, he's one with it. Reminds me a bit of Benny Rogers; don't know enough to say ...

By the pricking of my thumbs,
one damned Brummy this way comes. Winking
