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! _________________ Bluesman's Epitath: "Didn't get up this morning"!

I don't know why that one fellow called it a "still guitar". You were moving all over the place. Odd. _________________ Lap-n-Console Steel Guitar Lessons |

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" |

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.
