Thanks Richard

In reference to my post about speakers. my amp is a Nashvile 112

I have a Nashville Amp. I also have a Peavey speaker in a cabinet about the same size as my amp. My question is, can I just go from the line out in my amp to the extra speaker?

I've been using SIT strings for years. I play a GFI Expo.
The 11 ga has never caused me any problems.

I have SD 10 Expo. It is very light. I'm always amazed at the sustain this guitar has.

I'm so glad to know this. I've sure missed it.

Tom has always been very prompt to send me my orders. something must wrong, but I Have not heard anything.

I have a GFI Expo SD10. I have had it for 11 years, gigged a few times. I have never put lubricant on the legs and it still works fine.

I can't say enough about Bob at GFI. He has helped over the phone several times. Last year I took my EXPO to him because I was having some problems with the changer. He took it apart right then and ha ...

I had the pleasure of playing steel for Barbara Fairchild
Yesterday, at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. She and Roy put on a great show.

Lloyd Green was and is one of my favorite players.

Billy Cooper music store in Virginia sells them.

Personally, I refuse to play outdoors anymore.Not only do I have trouble keeping my steel in tune while out doors, but it's also hard on the instrument.

To me, after a few years practice,
It just comes easy. I don't know if you could call it natural, or just habit.

I can play in cowboy boots, dress shoes, tennis shoes if they have a flat sole. I tried sock feet, but my feet are so sensitive that I can't do it. I say whatever feels best to you. However, I wouldn' ...

That statement couldn't be further from the truth. Playing the pedal steel is a lot more complicated than that. In the first place it's not just "sliding the bar around on the strings." And ...

Broken down in tiny pieces

My first tune was Sleep Walk

I always set up straight on

I have been using S.I.T. Buddy Emmons series for several years and have never broken an 11 ga. string. I start winding on one side of the capstan, then cross over to the other side and finish winding. ...

I'm 74 and I practice every day, because my memory is not as good as it once was. I play very few shows anymore, but I like to keep in shape just in case. Besides, I love learning new tunes, new licks ...

I guess it's time for me to buy another guitar. I haven't bought one since 2011, when I bought my GFI new. Maybe I need to buy another one.

My Nashville 112 only weighs 43 lbs. I find it very manageable. I'm 74 years old, and not as strong as I used to be though.

I just want to wish everybody in our huge Steel Guitar family a very merry Christmas! Please stay safe.

With this virus going on, I play at home about an hour every day. I don't even have any gigs lined up for the near future, but that's ok, since I don't depend on that for a living. I do miss playing f ...
