I've been a machinist since graduating from trade school in 1970.

Got our room all booked. See you all there.

Hi Tommy, Thanks so much for the compliment. No, I didn't use the Benado but I'd sure like to try one. Sooner or later I'd like to hook up with Jerry Fessenden and try his.

Manny my friend, I'm only going by what Eddie"C" and others have said about that machine of yours. Although it's been estimated to have as many as several dozen strings, I've never actually ...

Cheer up Jerry, I usually have an "out of mind experience".

On another note, I hope Manny Escobar brings the famous "Multiplied String Manny Harp". Oh how I long to hear that th ...

WOW!!! If I ever go to Nashville I should find out when Jerry's going and just follow him around. Actually I'll be seeing Doug at the PSGA show in Norwalk Conn. in a couple of weeks. I hope he brings ...

Karen, I was glad to see your name on the schedule, and yes I'm playing Sunday afternoon. This is a great show, I would call it the "Premier Steel Show of the Northeast". Have you been to it ...

I always look forward to this fine show. I first attended it around fifteen years ago and haven't missed one since.
Who is coming? Let's hear from ya.

Had a great time with a great bunch of people. It was especially nice to meet and jam with Karen Sarkisan and Trevor Reilly.

I had to chuckle when Karen looked at the "many string Mannyharp&q ...

I wonder what the admission charge was in 1979. It seems like it had to be at least $20 or so. At that time I was working as a machinist for less than $7.00 per hr. Now that same job pays over 3 times ...

Crisis over... Called the 800# and the lady said "no problem" So I guess I'll see you all there.

Problem... Just called the hotel and they're all booked up until the 17th because of the storm. Does anyone know of any other hotel in the area?

The way I hear it I would play a 2m but since the next chord is a 5 it really could be a 2m7. Playing a 4 over a 2m7 should sound fine as all of the notes in a 4 are in a 2m7. A 4 is missing the root ...

I'm looking foreward to meeting Bill and Roger. I just finished my chord charts and putting new strings on my steel so I guess I'm ready to go. I'll see you all there. Merle

I just flew my D10 Emmons LL to Dallas for the show and it weighed in at 63 lbs. I flew out by United and it was $25 + $125, but I flew back Delta and it was $25 + $90. I wish I had put a little more ...

Very well deserved indeed to a good picker and good guy. Merle

I'm getting awfully itchy. Maybe I'll just go down early, set on the Doubletree door step and wait. Very Happy

...

I'm really looking forward to this one. You might say that this is the perfect steel show. A nice ballroom with great acoustics,excellent P.A. quality (thanks to Jeff DeMaio),unbelievable back up band ...

Hi David, I'll be there and certainly will be looking you up. Now, should I bring that choke chain collar again or do you promise you'll be on your best behavior? Laughing

Merle

Glad to hear that Steve. I'll be there and I'll take one of everything you have. See ya in a few days. Merle

Sounds like I need one of those song books. I'll get a man right on it!!!
# 975 here. It used to be a much smaller # but I was out of the loop for a while and had to re-join. Shame on me!!

Obviously a good topic, Reece. Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, I haven't read every word of all the replies, but could we add picking speed with various amounts of follow through. I kno ...

I wonder if anyone has warned Chucks Steak House that we're comming. http://steelguitarforum.com/wink.gif

"Heck Yeah" I'm looking foreward to it. This is always a good show. Had a real good attendance last year and hopefully will again this year.

A while back a lady that likes my playing told me that during one of my steel solos she blurted out " Oh play that steel, Merle!"
Her daughter quickly turned to her and asked "what's a steelmerle?"
