Just thought I would introduce myself on the board here. I'm still learning to play pedal steel. I have a MCI D10, think its whats being called an 8+7 (that being 8 pedals and 7 knee levers, correct me if I'm wrong). I usually play thru a Peavy Profex II and a Music Man tube amp.
I got this guitar from Ronnie Neighbors about 7 years ago before he moved over to his new location. He was my teacher while I lived in Arkadelphia attending college. I have been to about 3 of Ronnies conventions. I was stupid enough to turn down a Herbie Wallace clinic a few years ago in Hot Springs. I know, I know.
Anyway, I live in Mena, Arkansas (about 75 miles from Hot Springs). I have been playing with Jerry Long and Whatta Band for the last 5 years. I am sure I will be asking a lot of stupid questions in here so bear with me.
Thanks and have a great day!
John Jr

Hi John, Welcome to the forum. I tried to send you an email but the server rejected your email address. Is it correct? I wanted to ask you about a friend that used to live in your area. Good luck with your steel playing. It is a life long adventure and learning experience.

Hi, John ... this is kind of resurrecting an old thread from years ago, but I saw your reference to Whatta Band and couldn't help saying a quick hello here to you ... from one old Whatta Band veteran to another! 
I was with Jerry Long and Whatta Band from early-mid 1986 until March of 1990 ... and even to this day, my most fond memories of any band I've ever worked with are my memories of Whatta Band.
I posted a few of our videos on YouTube if you'd like to hear what we sounded like in that particular "Whatta Band Era" and here's a link to one of them (from 1988) ...
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ExcaliburSteel#p/u/40/5YXJrZrrAGY
Anyway, please feel free to contact me ... it's always a pleasure to meet and talk with a fellow "Whatta Band" veteran.

| Welcome John! I lived in Arkadelphia in the early 70's while I was a VISTA Volunteer and ate at the Ouachita Baptist University Cafeteria for $2.00/night as well as being given a pass to use the gym at Henderson State on a daily basis. Between time at the Spillway and Lake DeGray (which was still filling at the time) I had the time of my life! Anything I can help you with please don't hesitate to ask. You'll find that the folks on the forum are a really great support group for those of us that share this affliction . |
