Hi Bob - I have not tried to use the editor yet and have just used some of the 1200+ practice tracks I downloaded from the iRB forum as 'accompaniment' and as 'transposable' chord charts. This app in ...

Mike - yes almost any effect is possible with good singers...a few years ago I saw a vocal group at the Montreal Jazz fest that even incorporated a record 'skipping' sound into one of their arrangemen ...

For anyone else who has this rather common problem in Windows XP I found an answer online that was relatively painless -check out: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm

I thought I would share this. Santa didn't bring me much but what 'she' me got was a good one....an Apple iPad. I have always had PCs but it has been a love-hate relationship since I left Mac in the 8 ...

Jonathan - by 'switch' can I assume you are referring to the rotary 'blending' pot or am I looking at something else entirely? I can check the specs on mine. I was playing it last night and agree it h ...

Kelvin, Jonathan - a photo or schematic of the correct setup would be very helpful to me. I would like to restore the wiring on mine which still has everything intact however the bottom pickup may nee ...

Congratulations on the new guitar!! Except for your toilet seat model Smile

Mike whether that story is apocryphal or not, it is good one! Who has not ever wanted to do that to an unappreciative, ignorant audience? Rolling Eyes

George - at this rate you may live to see the day when the non-pedal session becomes more than a sideshow at the TSGA! How about it Albert!!??? Looking forward to this event...as I do every year. Mayb ...

Hi George - I am not writing to rub it in Smile

David....just don't encourage him to take up steel guitar! I am kind of with Bob on the subject of fusion - allowing for some serious technique envy, at some point it starts to sound like typing to me ...

Jim - you meant "A Trip in the Country"? I assumed the double entendre was intentional but you may know the story there..... I did not know that BE played steel on that which explains why it ...

Tony, Cougar guitars made an "add-a-neck" lapsteel designed to hook on to the back of a single neck pedal steel. I had ordered one and it may have been the manufacturer's last project before ...

I am stunned to hear this news which George Piburn just brought to my attention. It is particulary wonderful and timely to have so much video documentation of the 2009 Dallas TSGA Non-pedal Room sessi ...

Mike - sounds like the gig of a lifetime...a group of people with advanced music appreciation (probably) unaware of anything that you doing to make the music....so (probably) also won't be analysing i ...

Sweet Roy! I think I got hooked on this song as a kid seeing Elvis sing it in Blue Hawaii ("No More") in the early 60's. By the way (trivial pursuit question du jour) who is playing steel on ...

Hey Roy....I will get some MP3s off to you later. We are just battening down the hatches for Hurricane Gustav....it should be on top of us tomorrow evening. Although it is currently predicted to go ri ...

Roy...fantastic to hear more Monk played on steel! I play this tune on piano sometimes although am not an adept enough steel player to attempt this one yet. On piano I try to take liberties not only w ...

Mike...Swingin West is still (hands down) my favourite radio show on the internet and thanks for all your hard work in keeping this often obscure music 'out there'. I have barely forgiven you not not ...

Ray why don't you re-post another copy of the picture you took of your (absolutely obscene) collection of Rickys all posing on a couch... Smile

I will miss this by two weeks in a trip to the northwest...damn! I took a workshop with Cindy at Fur Peace Ranch a few years ago....she is a very well-organised teacher and warm human being. Port Town ...

Roy that was gorgeous....Jerry Byrd might have been envious of that one! Cheers, Wil Cool

Susan...your work is, as always, an inspiration. Thank you for that clip. Wil
