Ha! Good one!
To find out what the expected ones were, I asked several people. They said, "Fantastic," "Great," "In the Groove," "Outa Site," "World-Class," "Incredible," "Unforgettable," and "Deliciously Edible."

hmmmm.... Thanks Darryl, I think...
NEW CONTENT ADDED 12-08-05
I have added a new link at the bottom of my mp3 page that takes you to another page containing cuts from "Steel Guitar Danse Party!" my 1982 self released EP of originals in a decidedly "not country" vein, and a couple of other oddities as well...
Enjoy

Dave,
I mean it. I've been cruising for non-traditonal steel ever since Bobbe's new CD came out.
I like the hillbilly, surf, punk, and power pop. Has anybody big recorded the one about Presley? And I was interested that you used the term power pop. I've heard that used by only one other person.
You sound a little like Elvis Costello and Lyle Lovett. |

well I was @ about 220 when I recorded it, and I'm around 300 now...
"Mail Myself to Elvis" did get some airplay on the Doctor Demento show  and was included in a Euro Documentary about Elvis fans... I still get a check from BMI for about $.67 every couple of years... |

new files have been added to the second page of rarities;
my pal the drummer found some dubs of a studio session we did back in the 80's with my "originals" band the D-V-8's...
I'd forgotten the recordings existed, and was stunned when he sent me WMA files last week...
ah to be that age again knowing what I know now... |

Well... I had the most interesting experience this weekend. I will detail it on my blog,"I've got the "ZB Jeebies™" soon...
But cutting to the chase:
I now have a copy of the first released recording I ever played on, back in 1974. It's a 45 rpm stereo single by the DC area Country Rock band "Hickory", on which I played my long lost first pro quality steel, my S10 ZB Custom...
Click here and scroll to the bottom of the page to hear it if you'd like.[This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 24 April 2006 at 09:58 AM.] |

Good show and full marks for "Little Queenie," a quintessential rock 'n' roll tune with excellent "Chuck Berry" steel licks. Listening reminded me of what Grandpa Jones once said (as best I can remember) on "Hee Haw" about music:
". . . the joy is in the song, however rude."
PS: Any tab for those licks?[This message was edited by James Cann on 25 May 2006 at 12:28 PM.] |

James, thanks for the feedback!
that was pretty much "in the zone" spontaneous combustion on that track... I have for years tried to play "guitaristic" stuff and emulating Chuck Berry riffs was essential to that effort...
A lot of it comes out of working the unison between the "A" pedal 5th string and a full step 2nd string lower; also the unison between the 4th string "C" pedal and the first string. Working out of the position three frets up from the pedalled major chord (ex: If playing in C at third fret with pedals A&B pressed I would move up to the 6th fret to play the diatonic bluesy riffage)
the first riff in the first solo starts by picking strings 1 and 2 together, with the 2nd string lowered a whole step, then picking the 4th string un-pedalled and bringing it up to a unison with the 1st string using the "C" pedal. and then repeating the same thing with rhythmic variations.
I hope this points you in the right direction for copping that "duck walk" feel
