Two things - how to lub a pedal steel - that has been a question for the ages AND how much were stamps back then - It would have came in the US Mail
b0b had other things on his mind in '69 tooooooo
Good one 
Joe

| I don't think anyone would reply to the topics because the computers in those days would take up 90% of the house space. Even in 1992 when I was in Collage, it was rare for anyone to have anything but an Atari that had a 1mb hard drive and an 8" floppy disc. |

Hal Rugg was also playing steel on "Anytime Now", sounds more like him IMHO.

One question you wouldn't find: "How much does it weigh in and out of the case?" Everybody was still young ...  |

"Now we have Sho~Bud, Emmons, Marlen, ZB, and MSA. How's a guy supposed to choose between all these brands?"
"When will 2 levers become standard?"
"Now, D10s are over $1000! How's somebody supposed to afford that???
"Is the Market-Rite really a 'pro' guitar?"

| great post! I was only 7 years old then, but I'm sure the steelers back then didn't have the option of buying special made steel amps from Peavey or Webb. I'll bet they had to choose a high powered amp from Fender or Standell. |

"JI or ET - how do YOU tune?"
"Saw the Byrds at the GOO last night - WTF??"
"How do you get a 15" speaker in a Twin Reverb?"
"For sale - my old tweed Deluxe - make offer"
"$0.35 for a gallon of gas - WTF???"
"Let's go up to Woodstock and kick some hippy *ss!!!"
"For sale - my old Bigsby triple neck - make offer"
"Who's the steel player on 'Teach Your Children Well'? He's really the [best or worst] ever!!!" - (ok maybe a year early on this one) |
