RFD is a great place to hang on a rainy Saturday evening. Watched Marty's show and, yes, he could lose the scarves. -L- Then on came the Midwest Country show.

Moe Bandy's steel player had a great sounding guitar -- black and aluminum -- but I could not pick out the name. It looked like Extel, don't think it was the guitar from Japan.

Anyone know what that guitar is?

And the steel player on the rest of the show with the long silver hair. Is he around here? He's a good picker for sure...

I believe the man with the pony tail is Joe Savage, I watched him last night and he was plying on a Fesseden, with the house band

Joe lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sandstone, where the show is held, is 70 miles south of Duluth, Minnesota on Interstate 35. If you get on 35 down in Texas and head north, you go right by it, it's just a few blocks off the freeway.

Actually to my ears the guitar itself sounds a bit thin, but the guy picks great and has good taste.

Joe Savage alternates between the Fessenden and a Zumsteel finished in a light colored wood grain mica... If he is using the identical amp and settings for both guitars, I actually prefer the tone of the Fessenden over the Zum.

Maybe Joe will chime in here, but in previous posts he has said that he kept an amp at the theater. I think he uses a Webb alot. On some nights the Fessenden has sounded better than the Zum and viceversa. I guess it has to do with the video equipment and sound system at the theater. Did any of you hear the night that Jim Loessberg played Joe's Zum? To my untrained ears it sounded much like Jim's Pushpull. Jim has some kind of unique amp settings and I think he had em dialed in on Joe's amp. Also on another occasion I think Johnny Cox played thru Joe's Webb. There's no question about it Joe is an excellent multi instrumentalist. He's one of the joys of the show. I like to watch Bobby Darin play his guitar upside down too.

What's the difference between n MCI and an EMCI? I checked that link above and that's what they are taking about.

Thanks!

He did play a sweet sounding steel, I remember when Moe had Tommy Moran playing for him when he first started out. Tommy was a good player also.
