Second night every bit as good as the first! Michaela Gomez was a real treat. They all were. Top notch band as well! Hope these folks can keep this going for many years to come!

Great show at the Jalopy Steel Guitar UnConvention last night. Wonderful music from four different acts. But I canâ€™t hardly believe the number of people, young and old, who, in the middle of a ...

Also saw this too late. Iâ€™ve been collecting steel LPs for about 5 years now. Listen to lots of other vinyl as well. Iâ€™d love to see any for sale list anyone is willing to share!

Jay - Iâ€™m in the NYC area and interested in the steel guitar festival at the Jalopy Theater. Their website has nothing about it. Do you have information you can share? Thanks.

Thanks again for all these interesting comments!

It's interesting to look at how banjo and dobro players play (maybe it's only interesting to me because I played those before lap steel). Banjo players tend to plant ring and/or pinky fingers on the ...

Thanks Nic!

Thanks so much, very helpful!

In watching a number of videos I have noticed that some lap steels have a prime spot to rest the picking hand: a meaty bridge or even a pickup cover. Others do not have these features and the player s ...

Thanks for all this great info! That Melbert definitely is worth checking out, as well as the Magnatone and some of the other suggestions. Certainly like the idea of made in the US.

Buying vintage "folk" instruments from GC is frustrating, they usually can't answer even simple questions about banjos, dobros or lap steels but if you need to return it you're only out the ...

Everybody talks about the glories of going barefoot but nobody talks about the broken glass and dog do do. Sorry, couldnâ€™t resist! I havenâ€™t heard of that album. Where did you find it? ...

I've been playing music forever: bass (upright and electric) some clawhammer banjo - a bit of guitar. Now I've got in in my head to play some lap steel as I love all steel guitar music. Looking for a ...

Great third day! Felt like I was in church at one point and thatâ€™s a compliment. If you were there you know what I mean. The organizers should be proud of the weekend they put together. Hope th ...

Four great acts last night, lots of different styles. Iâ€™m always amazed how people who have never played together before can sound like theyâ€™ve been together for years. Real pros, thatâ ...

I was at the show last night (in fact, I bought a three day pass) and it was fantastic. Each of the three performers, Susan Alcorn, Doug Jernigan and Mike Neer, had their own take on the instrument, a ...

Iâ€™m super psyched about this event!

All these pictures are wonderful! Lots of fun to read the descriptions, hope they continue!

Not a player, just big fan. Stiil, wanted to get on line to pay my respects. Very sad news indeed.

I adore that song, thanks for putting up such a nice version! Haunting and beautiful!

Yikes, I forgot to thank the band! These guys easily played 8 hours on Saturday and were top notch! Amazing how they could immediately pick up any tune called out.
Thanks!

Just wanted to thank the players and organizers for a great show in Norwalk, CT this weekend. I could only attend Saturday but I heard some great music! The nighttime jam with Russ Hicks, Sid Hudson ...

Great thread. I'm on here a lot but mostly just browse because I'm just a steel fan, not a player (of steel that is). What a wonderful, diverse group of songs and musicians! Thrilled that Laura Nyro ...
