| Our local PBS station has been airing some old country music shows that were taped back in the 1980's lately. The Jump in the Saddle Band was one of the bands featured tonight and fellow forumite T.C. Furlong was sounding great on an old ( not for the time ) P/P Emmons. The whole band sounded great and it sure brought back some fond memoires. The Jump in the Saddle Band was a C&W/Western Swing band out of Chicago in the late seventies and early eighties. I remember watching T.C. just get better and better as the band progressed. I sure hope some other local steel players caught this,if not, hopefully they will show it again.

Bob, I happened on to that show last night! It really was cool. I just wish I had an extra $100 laying around and I would pledge it just to get a copy of the DVD they were giving away that Had Sunny Norman and Pork on it. That would bring back lots of memories from when I was 21 and hangin around the Rose Bowl back in the 80's. Sure be neat to see ole Sunny pickin' away and chewin on that Cigar again!! I wonder if that DVD had Sunny's son Kenny playing steel on it. He's what sparked me to get a Steel and start on this crazy journey I've been on trying to learn this beast!
And yes, T.C sounded great. Some awsome C6 playing going on there wasn't there? |

Roger, are you refering to Pork & the Havana Ducks?
Regarding T.C., one of my favorite recorded songs is called "Vampire" as performed by a Wisconsinite (or is that Wisconsonian?) by the name of Claudia Schmidt. On that song T.C. plays some beautifully ethereal steel passages. T.C., a belated congratulations for some very original pickin'! 
Keep on pickin'!

| I wish they would air those shows on the PBS station up here. I was a big time "Jump Junkie", and T.C. sold me the Emmons P/P I still have. He's a fine player, and a fine person. |
