Dick Swett is a politician from NH who was a congressman at one time.
For some reason, he never went by Richard.

Here is a 4 year old thread (updated recently) about Eddie Martin with some good info.

Thanks, Russ. And speaking of tone, you sound fabulous on the red perm I traded to you.

Thanks, everyone.

I just posted on the Upcoming Events page about three gigs we have in the next few weeks in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Thanks again for all the encouragement. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks to all of you for the kind responses.

We recently video recorded four shortened versions of songs we perform.

Ernie appears on a number of songs on the Tommy Duncan CD, "Texas Moon". I don't have the CD at hand right now, and I can't remember which songs he is on, but there are quite a few with Ern ...

Ross,
That is very cool. Your workmanship and designs are topnotch. Very elegant.
Rich

Thanks, Larry. Much appreciated.

J D,
Thank you for the kind words. It has taken me a while to get back to this post, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate your response.

I am playing in a new western swing band, Hwy 91, and we played our first gig last week. We were shorthanded and fellow Forum member Dan Baston was kind enough to join us on rhythm guitar to help out ...

Ross,

I am wondering - are you doing the engine turning on a drill press or a CNC?
Rich

Tim,
That is a wonderful looking guitar with some nice design aspects and excellent workmanship. Looking forward to some sound clips.

That is a beautiful guitar. Good job.

Excellent. Steve, you continue to amaze me.

Thanks, Mike. Very much appreciated.

Thanks, Bob. I love classic E9 pedal steel, but I can't play it. I guess we do what we can do.

Sam,
Cool. I'm glad that helped.
Rich

Thanks, Andy. Very much appreciated.

Haha. I guess that qualifies.

Lee,
I guess this is topic drift, but just wondering if you are native to the Valley. I lived in Corpus Christi for a year (1977) and met my wife there. She grew up in Robstown just outside of Corp ...

Lee,
I was 9 years old in 1960 when The Flintstones debuted, probably the ideal age for the show, and watched it often. When The Jetsons came on two years later, it never really clicked with me for ...
