Very nice Jeff.
Ok you did it... You showed your skills to the world and you did great.
You are definitely on stage at the next Joliet and Dallas shows (even if we have to drag your butt up there).

Sounds great Jeff! I really liked when you jumped necks during the solo.
What were the tunings used? |

You guys better start working on Jeff.
He's already registered for Joliet but says he's not going to play during the regular daily programs.
That surprises me too because I sure would like to hear Steel Guitar Rag "live". 
Wally
Send in your registrations. Playing spots are going. |

I can't get over the tone of that guitar.  Why would anyone ever prefer a Fender?

Nice Jeff,
I like this version, especially when you jump over to the other neck and use those neat chords. Keep up the good work. |

Thanks for the kind words, my friends! It sure means a lot. I was a little shy  about putting it on You Tube...We were just having some fun inside on a hot summer day.
Ron, that's Rick's Gibson T-8...a sweet guitar! It was the first time I got to play one, and it does have a really nice tone...not to mention, it's a beauty. Bill, I used E7th and jumped up to A6.
Thanks again for the nice comments...Bill L, Bill T, Wally, Gerald, Chris, Harry, Ron, and Ed..
Also, a big thank you and kudos to Rick Alexander for playing such sizzlin' rhythm guitar! |

| Great job there, Jeff and Rick. And I love Rick's floating hat in the background! Unfortunately, now I must have a Console Grande. |

Jeff, ya did good man!
We're all very proud of you.
But the cat's out of the bag - now everyone knows you're a good steel player . .
It's true - the Gibson is totally sweet, especially played through the 47 Pro.
Here are some pics of it, taken from all angles.

This is cool!
I love hearing all the different renditions of this classic tune.
I like the tempo changes, which add a nice flavour. |

Howard!  I'm a little foggy on the words, but maybe we can pull it off...if the FCC will let us!
Good to see you Roy...and many thanks!
Thanks also Tom, Chris, and Kevin (and you're right, the Console Grande's are addicting!). |

All I know Howard, is that Jeff and I almost soiled ourselves that night listening to your version. That was a riot!
