Steve is doing well, living in Walnut Ridge, AR now. He's opened up a studio downtown and is swamped with clients. Still playing PSG and guitar for local events and groups.

Hey Mr. Barcus,

Thanks so much. You are totally correct all the way around, I'm still kind of unsure of my moves, plus I was working with a software amp simulator that just sounds way too harsh and ...

Wow, this post is from 1999 and nobody has said anything in 14 years. Well, here's something I came up with after much Googling, I take no credit for this tab, found it on Paul Sisson's website along ...

Howdy guys and gals,

I've been fiddling with my PSG for a while now and finally feel comfortable to put up a couple tracks of my steel work on the web. The two I'm most proud of are Mansion on the ...

I usually refer to it as trying to play a set of bedsprings, ten strings all with individual minds. But the monophonic oscillator is one I've not heard before Joey, very creative.

At a recent steel jam, I had the opportunity to talk with Larry Prater from Missouri and he recalled:

Once when a group of new folks came to their weekly show and they were just enthralled with the ...

Howdy all,

The regular monthly meeting/jam of the Five Rivers Steel Guitar Associations will be held Sunday, January 16 at the Old Schoolhouse in Biggers, AR. As usual, everything will kick off at ...

Wow, what a time. The October Steel Jam for the Five Rivers Steel Guitar Association was a rousing success. In addition regular attendees LeRoy Wilkerson, Joe Douglas and Ron Plumley, we had the pleas ...

Howdy all,

The Five Rivers Steel Guitar Association will have it's monthly meeting/jam on Sunday, October 24 at 1PM in the auditorium of the Old Biggers-Reyno High School in Biggers, AR. Everyone i ...

Thanks so much to all the great pickers who showed up and made the first steel guitar jam/meeting such a wonderful event. Much fun was had by all and we're hoping it only gets better as we go along. D ...

Just a reminder to everyone that the Five Rivers Steel Guitar Association will have its first meeting/jam at the old Biggers-Reyno High School in Biggers, AR on Sunday, September 26, beginning at 1PM. ...

To anyone who's interested, I have a Mackie 808M 8 channel 1200 watt powered mixer that I am trying to sell. It's in perfect condition and still works like a charm. I'm looking to upgrade to a larger ...

Hey Guys,

Just got a chance to try these great suggestions and licks, and they work like a charm. I'm so pleased with the result. I wish I had a whole bag full o ...

Thanks for the input Dave,

I think I just answered my own question though with a little help from the Crown Audio website. All those power amps I was seeing are not hooked together like I thought, ...

Hey Dave,

Yeah, I can fully understand that. I always try to keep the stage volume at a happy medium, loud enough to hear what you're doing but also low enough that you could stand next to someone ...

Totally understandable, however, this feedback comes when I have the monitors totally off though, so that rules out that it couldn't be the monitors, and also there is no outboard gear onstage initial ...

Hey Folks,

For all the sound engineers, or anyone in the audience who's worked with large scale pa systems, say large concert hall size or so, I have a burning question that has always confused me ...

I totally agree with you Bill, P.F. totally nailed the steel work on this song. If I had to pick one part of the song that was my favorite, it would have to come close to the very end of the song afte ...

Thanks so much Ray, and it makes perfect sense. So let me see if I have this straight for a transposition, lets say key of G. Start 5th fret, string 5&6, pedals down, slide up to fret 8 pedals up, ...

Hey Joe,

I'm over in Pocahontas on the northeastern corner. Been here all my life. Nice to see another fellow arkie on here.

Howdy Folks,

Just thought I'd drop a little note and introduce myself around, cause I might be picking your brains here shortly. I've "attempted", and I use that word very loosely, to pla ...
