Well, bud, I did it! I played my first steel gig tonight, thanks to your help. Course, it was mostly sliding around and banging on the A&B pedals, and only on a few songs, but several folks at the place said it sounded good, and the band loved it!
So, Mike Bagwell, thanks! You're a great teacher, and a good friend, too.
And that old Marlen was workin', man! |

Well, it's plain to see old Stephen is hooked. Adrenalin pumping, feet stomping, knees flying from side to side, applause loving, and just think the frustrations are about to start. But I had the same feelings some 56 years ago and it doesn't change a lot every night that I play. Take two aspirin and sleep it off Steve, but don't go near the Indians.

| Congratulations! You did better than I on your first one. True story....I played my first gig in Bryan Texas with a drummer and singer named Ted Hardan. I had practiced a couple of months (I already played lead guitar in the band) so I thought, they will love this. I played three or four songs and at the end of the night I asked Ted how he liked it. He said, "when you take that thing home tonight, put it in the closet and don't ever bring it back." I was devastated. I put it in the closet for a couple of weeks and then went back to practice. 25 years later I am glad I did and I haven't played lead guitar since. |
