Many of the songs that have been written in the past, and played by aspiring steel guitarists, as backup musicians, need retracing for content of logic. Many songs have influenced by chance, thought provoking situations. "Gringo" originated on the Mexican border during the early cattle drives. The Mexicans thought the cowboys were singing; "Gringo The Lilacs" around the campfires. Lefty's song called; "I Never Go Around Mirrors" is a fine example of exaggeration. Years ago, someone had written a song entitled; "Seven Years With The Wrong Woman". I'm here to say that finding the path of least resistance in music and relationships will change personal outlooks. Life is full of warmth, happiness, and motivation.

Bill Hatcher,
I can't think of a better way to flush out the nonconformists to things that really matter, than to jog them with something they've missed in their colorful careers. You are never too old to learn something "new". |

| Ascertaining different levels of expertise while seated at the steel guitar isn't easy. It is unfortunate, that some who resort to criticism can't be underscored, through playing abilities. |

Archie,
It is my hope that b0b will have something to say about you expounding at will, from a position of ridicule, and through arbitrary procedures get you back on track. |

Ok so I think you mean that if I can't play, then I should not be allowed to critique your ramblings.
Here is a cut I did on a LAP steel, no pedals, "Donna Lee", hard as heck to pull off on any instrument. You listen to it and then you tell me if it meets your approval so that I am worthy to tell you that what you wrote is a bunch of convoluted squeeze.

Now I would appreciate it very much if you would put the shoe on the other foot and YOU post an MP3 of something that you play so that I can determine if your playing abilities "underscore" and give credence to your ramblings. I am sure you won't have a problem doing this..........right? |

Bill Hatcher,
My Web TV will not respond to the link. If you use the standard thumb pick and two finger picks, our playing styles are totally different. That has been one of the consequences of imitating playing style rituals, so common in the steel guitar industry. Playing styles that differ dramatically from the commonplace renditions, that wither over time, are no doubt the sustaining influences, of the future. |

I use all my fingers, so everything you wrote after the word "our" is meaningless. I am sure one of your friends will let you know about the track. I can send you an MP3 if you can receive that on your TV. You going to post an MP3 of your playing that as you say, is not one of the "consequences of imitating playing style rituals" etc. and let us hear what you do or not?
If not, then your own "playing abilities" are in question and as per your own words you possibly have no credentials to base whether or not you are qualified to continue to babble this drivel you do. I am basing this on YOUR qualifications you outlined as to who or who should not be able to critique your ramblings.
Game Over? |

Actually the cowboys were singing the old English drinking song "Green Grow the Rushes-O". |

| The more favored etymology of "Gringo" is from the Mexican-American war of 1846-48. The American soldiers wore green coats and the natives would write on walls "Green Go!!" and yell that at the American soldiers. Also there is a word "greigo" that has the same meaning as not knowing a language. "It's greigo to me" similiar to "Greek to me". Some etymologist surmise this to be the origin of the word "gringo". Some folks use it as a slur and some don't. |

Bill....Bill...Bill
Your over-bloated use of the language has most certainly put a strain on your First amendment rights.
However, along with that you must be willing to take the rebuttals as well as any other comments that may ensue. Like the man said,"If you can't take the heat...." Bill, you bring this on yourself. And it's apparent you like it due to the many threads you have posted. So you really have no complaints. You don't need to "cry" to BOB when you think your being picked on and request your posts be closed as you have done before.
If you wish to be taken seriously try talking to us instead of at us. I joined the forum because this is a great place to discuss all things pertaining to the steel. Your ethereal topics of "what ifs" can only be construed as idle chit chat and therefore subject to any and all comments whether you agree or not. This is just my opinion.

| Regardless of the timbre of unethical outbursts, I patiently await the return of normal responses to my bid to correspond. Whomever would engage in searches for subjects to absorb their rancorous posturings, which amount to repudiating the smallest details of any subject matter, is a discredit to the typically sincere steel guitarist. The approaches to a better view of this global trait, that points to an annoyance of improvement through education and new ideas, is puzzling. |

If you want normal responses, why don't you use a language that most of us can understand?  Trying to use this language in a face-to-face conversation, would make you a lonely man...

Walter,
I read the book written by Irving Stone entitled "A Biographical Novel of Sigmund Freud", published about 35 years ago. Most of the activities were centered in and around Austria. If you haven't read a copy, please do, and then proceed to clamor as a critic of my ideals. |

Words are just words and when not directed at any particular person, does the writer deserve ridicule? The Bill Hankey I know does not sit around looking for ways to insult anyone..The Bill Hankey I know put on 22 years of successful Steel Shows in New England and in the Berkshire area of Massachusetts..I am glad he has his health back. I wouldn't want to match wits with him especially at half strenght  Lighten up folks and truly get to know bill.I might add that if anyone deserves accolades for being a true Champion and of the Steel Guitar its certainly bill...
