If you have Directv, you can pick up Mid- West Country on 379 Saturdays 6:00PM.
There's a great steeler on there named Joe Savage. Since the Opry thinks Trick Pony is country, this is a real good place to hear some GREAT real country steel!!!

Joe is a great steel player. Unfortunately, I can't tolerate the show any longer. That d@mn guitar player and that freaking delay pedal drives me crazy. I wish they would hide the pedal or replace him.

I have noticed that the cameraman thinks the guitar player is making that SWEET noise and not the steeler. It takes him a few notes to get over on Joe.
Still a 1000% better than the Opry!!!

| On a somewhat related note, I almost drove off the road today when "4-Wheel Drive" came up as a bumper/pad on the "Outlaw" channel on Sirius satellite radio. Howard Stern or no, I'm never going back to terrestrial radio. |

Say Kevin, if you subscribe to Comcast, they have the Metro Channel 6 on the cable list, and Midwest Country is broadcast every Saturday night from 9:30 to 10:30.
Let me know if you have it or not.

Did you watch the show the night that a member of the audience gave Joe a mint condition 1930 era Doperra brothers Resophonic guitar? I think Joe has been playing it on the show lately. Anybody have another, I would take it off their hands.

| Lyle... Just to set the record straight, the Dobro that was given to me by those nice folks from Upstate New York is actually a mid-sixties Mosrite Dobro not a pre-war. It needed some set-up (new nut and bridge inserts). I've added a Lace Sensor pickup and this will be my Midwest Country Dobro from now on, out of respect. What a surprise it was! Thanks. Joe Savage |
