It is really a treat to get to see and hear Buck Reid. He is a master player and a gentleman to boot. He can flat jazz the steel like nobody else.

Thanks to all the organizers and the great players. Russ's version of the Jimmy Day song was tremendous. Sid Hudson lit it up on the steel and his tele. Larry Moore and the Tammy Wynette song was ...

Sorry to miss show. Ron is a treat to hear as is Joe and everyone else. Keep up the good work. See you soon.

Herby was the most patient C 6th instructor I could have ever wished for. A great talent and a wonderful gentleman will be missed by everyone who ever met him. My best wishes to his family. Jim

Thanks to all the great players and folks that put together a great steel guitar show. A slice of real country music you don't hear often enough.

I have recently purchased an older SE 200 and I love it. I'm still tweaking the controls and would like some opinion of the Depth and Expand knobs. Scruff is not recommended to use at all on the stee ...

Is it just too expensive and not all that productive to build a modest rack mount amp and effects amplifier? Pre-amp, delay, tube power 200 watts. With a 15" bass cabinet sounds too good to be ...

on the E9th I tune the G#s about 4 cents # and on the C 6th I tune both E's also about 4 cents sharp of 440. The E 9th tuning was suggested to me by Charlie Ward. I just tried it on the C6th as well. ...

I know many of you will disagree, but I tune both necks only slightly sharp on the thirds. This is easy and to my ear works very well.

Jeff recorded "Swingin parts 1 & 2 in 92. I purchased them about 2 years ago. Jeffran College. video dvd.

I agree with the suggestions to try the Jeff Newman and Herby Wallace courses. Part 1 and 2 Swingin by Jeff is a real gem and gets you going pretty quickly. If you like those beautiful fat chord voi ...

thanks to all the good folks at MASGA. I had a good time and will be back again.

Looking forward to this event. With both Tommy and Herby it will be great. See you in April.

You may wish to see Dave Easley playing at both the Crazy Lobster at noon and later The Green Room at 9:00 p.m. A sensational jazz steel guitarist.

I'm glad more folks are getting to hear Joe Turner. A really great player.

Great show Tommy. You did a great job. Jim and Christy

Bruce told me he really likes the Truetone sound on his guitars so I took his advice and put them on my D-10. I am really happy with them.

for all you rockin country lovers, this gal is the ticket. With Mike Castellana on his Emmons double neck and Gibson 6 string. on the road in mid-south these days. You'll flip for her song "Fa ...

Thanks for the info on this great piece of work. Beautiful tone.

Jim Cohen and Jeff Lampert have a version you will like. It was posted on the Forum April 8. 07. Hope you can track it down. It's a song just made for some great steel guitar chord work.

Happy New Year Al. and a Happy Belated Birthday.

If you really love the sound of the pedal steel your chances of at least playing a few simple tunes are nearly 100%. Many factors can limit your success, but perseverence pays off. I just looked at ...

will there be a recording of the show available? I'll be traveling and unable to listen.

John's smile, his super talent, and generous spirit I will always remember. Thanks John.

Sure wish I could be there Sunday. Just can't make it. It's going to be a great show. I hate to miss Joe Wright and Joe Turner, Tommy Dodd and all the fine steel players. be well. Jim
