I will be moving to Nacadoches, Texas next week. The band I currently work with will be needing someone, as I can only work an occasional saturday job. They are straight, no drinking or drugs, easy to ...

I will be relocating to the area in August. I'll be looking for week-end warrior playing steel, guitar, or bass, with some vocals.
Would appreciate any leads. Will work clubs, or opry's

THANKS!

Had a great time! First time to play the E9/B6 in public. I had set the guitar up E9/B6 to sell it. I usually play B6/E9. I had put a for sale sticker on the top edge of the steel. Well, I was right i ...

Check out the web site. Pictures of me playing three totally different guitars. I still have the MSA (its for sale}, and my new Williams (NOT FOR SALE). I no longer have the Sierra (good steel, just d ...

Hi Jody,

Really enjoyed the jam after I got my gun unjammed. Proves I need to make all the jams I can.

About the June meeting, will there be a jam, or will it be mostly swap meet/steel guitar garage ...

I've put the date on my AND my wife's calender, so everything willing, I'll be there.

Hi Jody,
I'll be there (good Lord willin) and will bring my Williams so I can trade licks on the jam. Looking forward to being there.

Other than weight, why?

I thought all amps came with a volumn control, most amps have a pre and post gain.

I have a Vegas 400, Evans FET 200, a Bandit 112. I still like the sound I get praticing wit ...

The almighty net can lead you astray. I'll be working with the Earl Sanders Jr. Band, unless they double booked the band for that night.
If you make it, please come up and say HI!

From this self-taught, untrained ear, why C-6. What do the session players use for their bread & butter? What top country songs use C-6?

If you play E-9 and limited C-6, (I play B-6/E-9 S-12) is it ...

Oh yeh, I got so excited talking about naked ladies, I forgot the date. Its Saturday, October 26.
