I just received an email from Steinar's nephew Preben. He showed this thread & the tribute video to his family and told me that they were very moved by it.

Thanks, Howard and Kevin.

Outstanding and very moving.

I forwarded a link to this thread to his nephew Preben, hopefully the family will see it.

Mike, what a great photo, thanks for posting.

I got an email from his nephew telling me the funeral service was nice and well attended (200+ people). Afterwards that evening they gathered for remem ...

I am shaking as well, I just got the word from his nephew via email.

Rest now brother, you have earned it.

There is nothing I can say that has not been stated so eloquently by the membership of this forum.

Steinar, it is so good to see you posting here!

Thanks Mike for the updates, appreciate them.

Steinar, we're definitely all in your corner. To that end I propose your title your next CD "Bedside Manor".

Oh and please don't mistake ...

I recently got an email from Steinar's nephew. He said that the physical therapy they have started him on has had some positive effect on his shoulder pain, apparently he is able to at least sleep mor ...

I keep looking for the "like" button and forget this is a forum and not FB Mr. Green

Love it, Mike.

Thanks for sharing that, Kay, I could not make it to Deke's event this year.

Thanks once more Mike for putting out the word.

And Steinar, if you've finally figured out that IPad and are able to read this, hang in there bud, we're all pulling for you!

First off, my thanks goes out to Mike Neer (& Brad) for bringing this to everyone's attention.

Secondly -- Steinar, citing the oft-cliched saying about how a man's wealth is measured by the num ...

I third the request for a sound sample, and totally agree about "classy and tasty for sure" Smile

Howdy Kay, I've been away for a bit but I see Roman has enlightened you to Jim Wilsey and El Dorado.

Jim & Roman (as well as myself) are members of the TDPRI Telecaster forum.

Kay,

Hope you don't mind, I liked this so much I shared your link with James Wilsey, the lead player for Chris Isaak when the original version was recorded. He's a memeber of a guitar forum I frequ ...

Hi Jussi, I had the pleasure of seeing you with Marti as well as the all-Bigsby band back in the 2008 fest (now out on DVD). Enjoyed both your sets immensely, hope to see you back out this way.

This thread just was brought to my attention. I was sitting about 6 feet away from Chas and must compliment his "stellar" work that night.

Deke's events are almost beyond comprehension fo ...

Jeez I almost hate looking in here, wondering whose name I will see next. This one hit hard.

I have been out of town for two days and this thread was the first thing I checked on my return. I was hoping to read good news but it was not to be. I am stunned.

My sincerest sympathies to his fa ...

Thanks for all the updates, Rick is always in my thoughts. A good friend's dad is in the exact same situation at the moment, ironic.
Once again sending all my best and positive thoughts all around t ...

Oh wow!!

Best wishes and positive thoughts going out from down here Temecula way. He sure is one of the nicest and most helpful people on this forum, I have learned a lot from him.

Get well Rick ...

Hmm, I was thinking more along a can of baked beans, maybe add some more firepower to the sound Smile

These things are way cool!

Ditto on the sound clip request, what an interesting looking instrument!

It looks like some of the stuff in my instrument closet got out of their cases for a night of revelry Mr. Green

Another vote for Rance White and Lazy River - walnut w/spruce top. 8 months old and just starting to sing.

Best bang for the buck ...

Just wanted to add a ditto on the Jonathan Kellerman book. Great photos with his descriptions and stories for each instrument.

I plan on getting to the exhibit sometime over the holidays, these ph ...
