Bob,

Jimmy Somma at Sommatone.com is an excellent Fender tech. He is in Somerville, NJ about 20 minute drive over the Outerbridge. I had my Super rebuilt by Billy Penn in Long Branch but I am not s ...

I always have my Billy Cooper's Steel Guitar Shop hat on so no one can tell! How does that go "Only my Hairdresser knows for sure."

The one reference that bugs me is when someone calls it the Steel Pedal. When anyone asks me what that is, I tell them it's a bread slicer.

Sale pending.

Ron,

We have met. I was in the Red Bank music store for the jam a couple of years ago. I didn't bring my steel and didn't stay long.

I have a Rattler for sale. Brown woodgrain, Kent Armstrong Pickup, soft gig bag. I have realized that I would rather play slide on a regular guitar. This guitar was made in Idaho about 300 yards from ...

Check out Motion Sound Products. Real Rotating Speakers that are not to big to move around.

If your getting your JJ's from Bob at Eurotubes they have been vetted by him. If your buying them directly you must sort out the bad ones.

Svetlana/Winged C/SED makes great EL34's. I put them in my MM 65 reverb head (same chasis)and they sounded real good.

Jon,

Make sure Skippy doesn't trip on all that stuff. Pretty soon you'll be able to take the subway to gigs!

It is my understanding that Clapton played the slide parts at the end of Layla rather than the Skydog. Anyone else hear that? Also wonder how heroin affects intonation?

Hey Marlin,

If you can find either a green label or a black label CE-2 and send it to Robert Keeley for a "hi-fi" or "speedy' mod you will have the same beast when he is done. The best sounding choru ...

Brought a young lady back to my place after a first date who's eyes lit up in a nasty way when she saw the steel bar I use to play the steel. HMMM!
It was a 7/8" 12 string BJS Bar.

A Mullen with a stock MIDI Pickup. When is Roland gonna accomodate us?

The V shape you refer to is a "chevron" which is meant to "herald".

Was Gram Parsons that skinny?

Saw Dale in NYC Sunday night/Monday morning.
