Unlike JS Bach (The Well-Tempered Clavier (German: Das Wohltemperierte Klavier)), we play with bar. Use it!

Mike just did steel work for Andy Byron's new Nashville CD. I play in Andy's hometown band here in Boise and will now have very big shoes to fill. Oh my.

A notch filter will quickly and easily eliminate the hum from the ShoBud single-wound pickup. Ask at the studio. If they don't have one, you are at the wrong studio.

I started with 5-string banjo in 1959. Heavily influenced by the Kingston Trio. I was then turned on to Earl Scruggs and was lost in the vibe. I started playing PSG in 1972. But years of banjo affecte ...

US Coast Guard 1964- 1968.

I remember seeing Mark O'Conner at the Weiser Fiddle Festival in the late 70's. I never saw him without a fiddle in his hand, playing 16 hours a day. He had no other life. Sometimes I wonder what a ba ...

She rocks the house. Before her throat issues, Rolling Stones mag called her "a female Jimi Hendrix". This EP displayed her country roots. She is a delightful person.

Thanks

Not famous but I play with a thumb pick only. Check out http://marycutrufello.com/, song number 8 on her list: "Just Can't Fall Out Of Love With You".

Check out the recent indie movie "Soda Springs", a modern-day western. It won last year's Sun Valley Film Festival award. My friend Randy Mennach and I are both playing steel in it.

That's how my friend Buck affectionately refers to it...

Yes. I play regularly with Boyd in a band called Joshua Tree, a Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris tribute band.

Thanks, Bob, BTW, Brook Langdon is playing steel on the Tarwater "Hard Country Music" CD. A great player and person, from Salt Lake City.

Hello, Bob. Yes, I am playing steel on Tarwater's "From The Heart" album, and most of Pinto Bennett's albums. I still play, mostly studio work, although some bar gigs. I was in the original ...

Oh yes. He did. And it was an inspiration to me. Don't miss it.

What an interesting thread. Last week, I played a solo "lounge" gig at an upscale hotel in Boise, Idaho (yes, there are several!). I played everything from Faded Love to Canadian Sunset. Fol ...

My ShoBud Pro II, in the case, lays flat between the wheel wells of my 2007 Toyota RAV 4 as though it were made for it. Who knew?

So, I now have violated one of my own pet peeves, too: the misuse of the words "principle" and "principal". Mr Herseth was principal trumpet, not principle trumpet.

Best post on the forum so far. This kind of discussion is what makes this medium so valuable.

Ooops...fat-fingered. That's Kevlavik, Iceland. Played in 1966-67 (rhythm guitar and banjo) in a C/W band with a great steel player. Wish I could remember his name.
