Al's steel on PPL's Jazzman has (IMO) withstood the test of time. I listen to that album regularly. Contrarian that I am, Amie is not my favorite song on the Bustin Out album. It isn't overrated but i ...

Al, I sent you a PM. Check your inbox.

Last night when I was tuning my Sho-Bud, I noticed that there was free play in some of the tuning pegs. They would turn approx. 1/8" before the gear would turn. I tightened the screw on the top a ...

Dan,

With all respect to Chris & his bass, crank up the steel. His uncle Frank always seems to have his steel mixed pretty well for those jams down at the VFW Watertown, MA.

Lo and behold, when I was working on the pedal set up I discovered screw holes right where a knee lever should be. So, my guess is that sometime before I got this thing somebody removed the knee lever ...

Ray,
The friend I'm giving it to has played C&W music for probably 40 years. He plays guitar, banjo & whatever and said he always wanted to mess around with a PSG. So I have this old thing si ...

Well I started working on this thing tonight. Just trying to get the strings tuned up. It turns out that the wood body has a crack almost the entire length of the guitar. As I tuned the strings the cr ...

That PSG looked like it had some hard miles on it. It is his road guitar, and he thought that it had gotten banged around as checked baggage on a recent flight. He said it was going in for repair toda ...

I completely enjoyed Poco's performance tonight. It was a fine show from beginning to end. Rusty Young is now the front man and he does a fantastic job. He plays guitar, mandolin, Dobro & PSG. Ton ...

I'll keep you posted on how the show is and if he plays any pedal steel. Sure hope he does, it would be a disappointment if he doesn't. It wouldn't seem like

The really odd thing about this guitar was there was no mechanism for attaching the legs. They are just aluminum tubes. The bottom of the tubes had the rubber caps, and there were rubber caps screwed ...

Maybe I'll call it the Little Junkster. Actually going to clean it up reset the pedals (as well as possible) and give it to a friend. After this, he may never speak to me again, but that is the price ...

Here are some pictures of a junker I've had laying around forever. Three pedals, no knee levers... It was given to me about 30 years ago. The legs were not attached, I made the brackets to hold the l ...

Poco is playing Sunday night in New Hampshire at the Tupelo Music Hall. Can't wait to see/hear Rusty Young playing.

That sounds like a good find Dan. Are the set screws slotted or are they Allen screws? If they are Allen screws you might be able to use an Easy Out screw extractor. If it requires drilling a machine ...

The sound of the steel got me hooked back in the 1970's. Bobby Black, Buddy Cage & John David Call. I couldn't afford a steel back then so I had to play Air Steel along with my records. So now I h ...

I think that this would be a fantastic opportunity. I have not visited Nashville and it has been high on my list of places I want to see and experience. Something like this would be the icing on the c ...

I saw them many times over the years at the Berkshire Mtn Blugrass/Winterhawk/Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in upstate New York. Some of the finest musicians around. I never have seen Mike play his PSG ...

It looks like they got eaten up in the massive printing industry consolidation of the 1980's
& 1990"s. I think that they were rolled into Mack Printing, which is now part of Cadmus Communic ...

I sure do remember her. They used to play her records on CKBY out of Ottawa (if I remember correctly) and I could pick up that station in Potsdam, NY. Once I heard her voice I was hooked, I have all h ...

Bill Holbrook lives here in New Hampshire.

There are also many steel players in the greater Boston area.
