My suggestion is before spending any money on a pedal steel to stay up until about 2:30 in the morning for about 6 or 7 nights in a row just to see if you can get used to the time warp when you can't ...

Don't tell your wife!

Dave, my advice would be to make the compensation based upon performance. The better they perform, the higher the percent. This way if they are serious about your playing habitats they'll work hard ...

If you use one of these mics, could you give me your opinion on it for live performances on vocals? Thanks. Tom

To me ... there is nothing better than playing and singing with a group of musicians who have learned their craft well and are more concerned about making the song sound great than they are about maki ...

The trend I find most objectionable in live bands is little to no use of dynamics.

Matt, I ran into this back in the 70s when I was playing in the restaurant lounges back in Orlando. They basically did not want to share the music draw with the competition. Back then, they almost a ...

Ok. I know that I am fairly new to this site ... but what .... er ... I mean huh?

I'd be willing to work with her!!!!

Dion, I too have a 3-1 old Sho Bud. I have only been playing (PSG) for a couple of months but I think you get out of it what you put in it. I also have a Super Pro that has 5 knee levers on it but I ...

Well said Tim, I just hope the number of young people who appreciate the real country music continues to grow ... only time will tell.

I Agree with Mikey D!!! I'm not chicken to take a stand. I just finished writing a side to record this Spring titled "Where In The Country Did Country Music Go" that pretty much says it a ...

Hey Dick .... this is my class!!! Laughing

Thanks for all the great responses. This goes to show how many country honky tonk songs are out there (some that even I was thinking about).... songs that I ...

What is your favorite Honky Tonk Song?

David, regarding the festivals, you need to look at the original contract to determine what rights the promoter has. If the contract is silent about his right to video your performance then I would a ...

Marlin, your response is a certainly a reasonable explanation of how/why greed controls the system. Some, but not all of it needs to be taken with a healthy grain of salt. I for one, do not buy tha ...

Country music deserves its rightful place. Call it old country or traditional or classic country. I don't care ... but just don't refer to what is being hyped today as being country. It isn't! Wha ...

I am not sure if it is a concern or not but if you look closely at the pictures ... the serial numbers appear to have been made with different stamps. Just my observation.

Great job James!! It looks fantastic! By the way, it appears that you refinished the underside of the cabinet. What product did you use?

Hey Bobbe ... that would be "that" piece of steel that is sitting in someone's repair shop I know with four wheels on it! Tom Stanley!

What about the perspective that sometimes "less can be better" or maybe "simple" would be a better word.

Does anyone know if Sho Bud inlays are available. I am in the process of refinishing my SuperPro that had been refinished once before (not by me) and the inlay needs to be replaced. Thanks. Tom
