I had the opportunity recently to take some lessons with Maurice Anderson. I was as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. But, after a few minutes with Reece it was like old home week for me. It was like we were old friends. This made my time with him even better. Reece has forever changed the way I look at steel guitar and music, and for that I am greatful. The reason for this post is to let you know about a video Reece has out. This tape has been out for years, how did I miss it? This is a live concert/seminar video he did at North Texas University. I think the people in the audience were music majors at the University. The got to ask Reece just about any question imaginable. Reece also demonstrated his steelguitar MIDI set up. On the Video Reece plays some great Jazz tunes, with a great back up band. Then about half way into the tape Reece breaks into a country song. I mean Buddy Emmons, Jimmy Day type country. I guess the rumor about Reece and his tuning can't play country must not be true.  If you are a fan of Reece, the Universal tuning ,Jazz steel guitar or just great 6th playing you should try and get this tape. I don't know how many more Reece may have, if any. But it is well worth the price just for the playing. |

Congrats Bob!!! I know how great of a time you had and how much you learned cause I've been there, done that. I really hope you were one of the privledged few to get one of Teresa's milkshakes, I HEARD they were really good.
You are so right about Reece playing country with the best of them. He's sent chills up my spine at the Johnnie High show in Arlinton as well as setting across from him while being taught some invaluable lessons.
One things for sure, you will be a changed player when you leave Reece's house!

| Quote: "Hey Reece I did it" is the title from a record Tom Bradshaw did many years ago and I still have a copy of that momentous occasion. Catchy phrase, there and still works after 30+ years. |
