Just stumbled onto a YOU TUBE clip of Jerrimy Wakefield knockin' out some of that fabulous stuff on what appears in one clip to be, a dbl-6 Rick, and yet, in another clip, a double-8. Non-pedal of course and he demonstrates just what all can be done with a non-pedal steel g'tar. Great inspiration! The group is billed as LUCKY STARS.
And quietly in the background, is Portland, Oregon's, own shy, talented, Rusty Blake on lead g'tar. There is a talent that has for far too long, remained in the obscure background. Blake plays a great vintage, triple-8 BIGSBY, with one of those great olde Fender 4x10 bassman amps from the early 1950's.
My hats off to this fine group. |

Hey, thanks for the kind words, Skipper. Let's get out there and play sometime, before I get too old!
That's JW's travel guitar, a DW-16 probably very similar to the one that you have listed for sale. He sure gets a lot out of it, don't he? |

Russ, thank you for your post.
The g'tar he's playing on the YouTube video looks just like my little DW-16.
Yes, he gets a tremendous amount of music out of his g'tars, no question about it........regardless of which g'tar he's playing.
Since I'm 'retired', why don't you give me a hollar when you foresee yourself having some free time and we'll make it happen. Would truly enjoy that.
I haven't managed to get my BIGSBY out of the case since we visited Dallas last March......and I've got to get that done.
THANKS for your input. |
