Yes! I’ll tell you, Paul Franklin has kept and keeps our instrument alive now in commercial music. Pedal steel would be lost without Paul Franklin.😊

Very nice and smooth David. I appreciate you quoting the melody! Taste , tone and finesse is the end game. You certainly did that!

This is going to be so good! Paul’s understanding and playing of this style is just the best! Paul has been and still is the premiere pedal steel virtuoso of our era!
Bravo!

So sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. I am a fan of his pedal steel designs.
Although I didn’t get the opportunity to play one of Jerry’s guitars, I thought they were top notch. Rip .

Floyd,
I was the first I know of to play and bring a Mullen guitar to Nashville, Grand Ole Opry and cable tv channels of that era way back in 1986.
I built most of my adult career on a Mullen guitar ...

Still looking friends. If any of you nice folks have one to part with, I’m certainly interested!

Thanks K Maul. In looking at their website, I don’t see it. I will call. Thank you so much for pointing me in that direction. 😊

Looking for the big, heavy Compactra in working condition. Must be able to ship or deliver to Nashville.

Anyone heard from Jerry? There is awful flooding in his area of Vermont.
Hope everyone stays safe and well!

By the way, I still haven’t been able to play what Hal Rugg played!
So creative and innovative!

Hi George! Would you consider shipping the amp to me in Nashville?
I owned this amp when new.

Paul Franklin doesn’t need confirmation in regards to “Chicken Pickin” obviously.
I will say, I began pedal steel in or around 1966, as my dad played, and played quite well. You might say I was ...

That was my first Mullen guitar Ron is playing. 1987 maybe?I was staff on that show.
