Can someone tell me who plays steel on Leon Raush's recording of "the day you left me". I think it's a Cindy Walker song. Not sure. It's some of the most beautiful steel work I've ever heard ...

Great to hear from you Floyd. Congrats on the new Mullen. I know you will love it.I've had mine for about 8 years.It's all the guitar I'll ever want. Enjoy it. Maybe if we get down your way, we'll sto ...

As to Bob's ? about Charlie Rich records. Jim Vest played a good many of them.

good to hear from you Floyd. last time I watched,it was Jr Knight. Glad you posted. I'll check it out.

Traditions Rising will be at Courtyard Lincoln in Lincoln Ala. Just off I-20 on hwy77. Excellent female singer and steel guitar. Fri night

Traditions Rising will be at Courtyard Lincoln in Lincoln Ala. Just off I-20 on hwy77. Excellent female singer and steel guitar.

Started learning 6 string in'61. Stayed with that until 'o3.
Always loved the sound of steel. Everyone said " its too hard to play". A friend had a 12 sting MSA. Very affordable.
While I ...

It's a complicated instrument. It's very difficult to learn. Like slide trombone or violin. And it helps to have a fair knowledge of music. Whoa!

I agree with Steve Hinson. I don't think very many players choose steel. I think steel chooses them. I started learning guitar when I was 13, because the guitar was turning me every way but loose. And ...

So sorry to hear. Everyone who knew Jack,loved him. A really great man; not to mention his expertise on steel. He will be missed.

Very interesting Keith. I don't know anyone. But I always thought that all draftees went to Army. I finished high school in'66 and joined the Air Force, spent '68 at DaNang. Good to hear from you.

I have a Magna-Cart. Weighs about 3 lbs. Folds-up to near nothing. Rolls my guitar, amp, pack-a-seat. I'm too old to carry any of my stuff, but I can roll it!

The show is called country music, and I was really expecting to hear some. Although I learned a lot of things I didn't know, I was a little disappointed.By the second episode, I started calling it ( t ...

I can vouch for the great sound Gary. Mine has 409's on both necks. Nothing quite like them.

I love listening to all the great players and trying to learn from each of them. But when listen to Scott Anderson, I want to sit down and get to work! And whenever you (Mickey) zero-in on a song I li ...

If they can't build a guitar that guitar players can afford, without getting a second mortgage on they're home, they should go out of business. And stay out!

Thanks so much guys. A lot of very interesting info. I've always been a big MEL FAN. And Kieth, I am really enjoying the pro guitar pedal. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks again. John

I'm wondering who played steel on Mel Street's recordings. Sounds like the same player on all. I'm sure someone remembers. Thanks John

Is it still available?

Mickey; Just keep teaching us what you know! Mullen and MSA are both great. I have one of each. You should too! Thanks for being there. Love your bus. Hope you are feeling much better these days. j ...

Lots of good advice, and a lot of great ideas. But I've found that the only cure for bandstand-itis is a lot more time on the bandstand. Eventually, you develop a routine for setting up your stuff, so ...

I ordered a set of saddle picks. Never had any more problems. And they don't hurt!

I play it in E. The verse is E F#m B E C#m A B E
The bridge is A B E F# F#m B
Resolve after bridge same as verse
I hope this helps you, This is one beautiful song
John

Thanks so much for posting that. I am lifetime fan of Roger Miller. He wrote and recorded that when I was a teen. It became,and remains, my favorite of all Roger's songs. He would be so proud of your ...

My wife Judy and I are booked and looking forward to it. Be glad to see all of you there. John
