I`ve never played on any #1 hits.for that matter, I have never even played on anything that I tought was super-great or something.Every time I got in studio and get excited about the work I did second later I hear another recording someone else did that sounded great to me.And 10 times better than what I just did.That`s why I drive a truck.

| Same here. I am not worth 15 cents in a studio, not that I am worth that anywhere else. I just play much better to the public. I admire those than can play in the studio and do a good job. |

Hey now here's a list I can get on!! I don't think there's any danger of a #1 coming out of my fingertips anytime soon!!
One good thing about recording into the computer is, your just a click away from getting rid of the evidence!!  |

| You can add me to that list. I haven't recorded much although I really like studio work. I'm just not real good at it. I play much better live and relaxed. I guess the closest I've come was 12 or 15 years ago on the Stoney Edwards album "Just for old times Sake" I played on three songs including the title song. They say it did pretty well across the pond. |

hey Fred,how many times did you hear:
"I just got signed and you just work and play steel for me and when I hit big I`ll pay you good"
I heard that so many times down on Broadway it ain`t even funny anymore.I tell them:
"I just signed a recording deal with Columbia myself,for 20 bucks a month I get 3 free CD`s every months"

I have never played on ANY "hit" but have played on an album that got national release and a for a major label[Chryslyis]at a "big time" studio[Bearsville.. Woodstock NY]..I even heard my playing on the radio a few times while working at my day job... MANY "went nowhere" sessions usually @ $100 a session.. big deal... I'm still a hacker...
Some of those cuts I recorded I am very proud of.. others are Abyssmal!!! and I cringe,shaking my head, whenever I hear them. Most of the records I have done,the producers,engineers,and Artists have NEVER had a steel on thier recordings before and hacked my playing to pieces, ruined my sound,or BURIED my part,as to make the cut sound "less country".. feh... I only do it for the bread!!!.SOME attitude no??!! bob |

well, my band just signed a very lucrative deal with columbia records....
that's right, we get 12 cd's of our choice for only $.01, and then we only have to buy 12 more in the next 2 years.....
