So far, I've been able to put together a partial lineup of players for the SWSGA's Non-pedal Session. I'm planning for a one day celebration of the lap steel, Saturday, Jan. 21. The format will be similar to the Rick Alexander Session at the Dallas show. We won't use drums so we can focus on the beauty of the lap steel sound, plus the lower volume will be a contrast to the grooving music on the Main Stage. Of course, everything can change, but so far the players who have confirmed with me include:
Dan Tyack
Doug Livingston
Ivan Reddington
Margie Mays
Bobby Black
Chris Kennison
Carco Clave
Chuck Lettes
John D. Carter
Scotty
Some of the players who have volunteered to be part of the House Band include:
Ray Harrison-Bass
Ivan Reddington-Guitar
Carco Clave-Guitar and anything with strings!
Jim Stahlhut-guitar
I'm planning out my C6th Lap Steel Seminar. It will be a two hour workshop focusing on some lap steel techniques/ songs and exercises, primarily using just four strings of a six string lap steel. The cost of the Seminar will be $30, with $5 of that going back to the Club. Please contact me if you would like to play a set or attend my Lap Steel Seminar.

Chuck:
Is the seminar something that would work for a beginner?

James-Not sure if the pace would be for a beginner, but if you could get beside Chuck for a few hours, it would sure get you launched in the right direction. IMHO. Kirk

Hi James,
I'm planning out my lap steel seminar and definitely want to include material that will help all levels of players get started and further develop their own sounds. I will have a CD and material on paper to take back from the seminar so that you can refine some of the ideas that we discuss. Please let me know if you plan to attend so that I have enough material for all of the attendees.
As Kirk mentions, sometimes just seeing and hearing the various techniques and how it's done can give you new ideas and confidence.
