Really great stuff Slim and Penny! Nice arrangement and production and I love your lush steel chords.

Great playing by everyone. You sounded mighty fine Frank.

Model number would have been CD-10 if it was a D10, or CD-12 if it was a D12, indicating a double-neck mica "Classic" guitar (one of the very early "Micro" examples.) If I had to ...

Maurice Anderson with Johnny Case on the little know 1970’s LP “Contrasts In Jazz” One extended improv tune per side.

Well done and great touch and note choices on the fiddle too, my friend!

When I was a wee tyke I listened to the Sho~Bud Showcase on WSM after the Midnight Jamboree. One night Jack Boles interviewed one of the principles of this record. A long time ago but I think it was C ...

Check with Pat Coyne on Facebook. He owns a CD production company and did most of Russ’s stuff.

The hotel had rooms available today. Call the Marriott 800 number instead of going online.

Good luck Very Happy

Thanks Ricky. Back before knee levers became more prevalent I suppose.

My memory is that the old fingertips had 9 pedals with six on the back neck.. Maybe I’m wrong. If not, what were the typical pulls on the “extra” pedal on the C6 neck?

pretty sure Doug Jernigan has a high G which he tunes down to D depending on the song. if it works for Doug, it works for me..

Actually Doug does the opposite. He tunes up to G for Streets of Lare ...

I got nuthin'

Me too. Talking to another player yesterday, it seems a common theme is that about now is when we start saying “why did I sign up for this!” Laughing

Nice and thanks for posting.

There may be others that are less known, at least to me, but Jim Murphy and Johnny Cox would be the two best known for playing Curly’s style. There’s a lot of Curly’s style in John Hughy’s C6 ...

Here’s another fascinating thing about that recording, as was told to me. Buddy had the charts and sent them to everyone. There was intent to have a rehearsal but it never happened. So this was play ...

I posted the Merle Travis LP with Curly Chalker on here a while ago. My favorite LP of his is More Ways To Play, however.

I love that one too and you might be right now that I think of it. I’m gl ...

Chalker's "gutting" technique is hard to really master! As Doug says, it was kind of an explosive swell immediately after the picking motion, and it always reminded me of a mellow Hammond B ...

Oops! I did interchange the two songs when responding to Fred. My bad.

I need a black lined drawing of a steel guitar. I fancy a 2” x 1” tattoo. 😀 or even 3” x 2”. Any artists out there. ?

Thanks Scott, that’s a lot of info.
