I just revamped the photo section of my website and was adding some photos of friends, shows etc. and found a pic of my ol' pal Winnie Winston & me playing a duet at a steel guitar convention back in '78.
Winnie built that steel that he's shown playing and even though I'm not a huge fan of Universal tuning, I have to tell you, it was a really nice guitar. I am playing a Marlen in the photo... it's not my guitar (I also played a Marlen in those days, but had just cracked a leg mount in the endplate casting so while it was being repaired, I borrowed the one shown from another pal : Chuck Truesdell who was the only other guy I knew in the area that played with a "Day" set-up).
Anyway....for any of you that remember Winnie, he was a very interesting guy left us too soon. You might enjoy the photo!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Bob!
I' going to be going back out on tour with Arlo this fall, (starting in Oct.) and I think we have some Canadian shows booked Will also be doing some shows with Judy Collins in Nov. & Dec. but I don't yet have the venues... I'll post all of that stuff once I get it. |

I think Winnie played E9 extended, not Universal ?
Gordon, did you play with Arlo in Helsinki, Finland ?
Mid 90`s maybe ? I think met after the gig briefly...

Hi Olli,
No, I was not working with Arlo in the 90's....In the early-mid 90's I was working with Jann Browne and Barry & Holly Tashian, in the mid-late 90's working with Paul Simon, doing Broadway shows & Jingle sessions in NYC. |

| Gordon I don't see many October shows on Arlo's website yet, and no Canadian ones, but I will watch for it. Hope you come to Edmonton. |
