Today I learned 2 new things to call Non Pedal Steel Guitar.

This is a comment on my MySpace:

And this is a comment about Dick Meis' rendition of "My Isle Of Golden Dreams" on my YouTube channel
Quote:

I heard this wonderful Hawaiian song from Marty Robbins version first time. One of most favorite music.
Thank you for nice posting.

Still water and still guitar run deep.

Where I was from, we called it a bench of strangs...

And, we did have a whiskey steel.

I call mine a steal guitar, cuz that's how I got it!

I don't know why that one fellow called it a "still guitar". You were moving all over the place. Odd. Shocked

When I play a steel with legs, my band calls it the electric snack table.

In the early 50s, a friend who played like Merle Travis asked me to come to the bar he was playing at.
He said "come on over tonight and bring your breadboard" Very Happy

I've heard my Console Grande referred to as an "ironing board" a few times.

The tune "My Isle of Golden Dreams" was one of my guitar lessons back in c1948.
