Have you heard all the steel players on this site???????

Charles Tilley · Post by **Charles Tilley** » 21 Feb 2007 4:46 am

Are you one of the 2000 plus who have visited my web site at www.etsga.org/steelguitarplayers.htm and listened to all the players who have sent files to me to be posted there??

Well, if you are not, you are in for a treat. These players might never be hear around the world except for this site. Just take time to go listen to these players. You will be rewarded. It'll make you want to practice more and become better players.

Want to be heard, then send a file to me in MP3 format or a CD for me at 1473 CR 463 Princeton, Texas 75407 to convert and it will be posted. Please keep files below 5 or 6 megabytes if possible or permit me to cut them short a bit if they are long.

PLEASE REMEMBER!!!!::: Iinclude your city and state. I am receiving several without that and it is required for posting the file. Files can be changed monthly but only one file per artist at a time. Files sent monthly will replace current files.

You can check my initial site concerning this by searching my name on the Forum. Information is at that site. try here

Very nice Charles.. I really enjoyed it.. some great players there for certain...I wish I had something to submit, but alas I'm not that talented!

.. Actually, I think its a great venue to share our unique steel playing styles with other steel players around the world..

Keep up the good work... bob

-Bob what are you talking about?

Ive heard you play and you rip. I hope someday i can become as "not that talented" as you

Bob Carlucci · Post by **Bob Carlucci** » 21 Feb 2007 8:45 am

Gee, Ben thanks for that very nice compliment..

I play ok, but the thought of recording and producing even one professional sounding steel guitar instrumental is way over my head,yet so many folks on this forum seem to be able to do it often and at will. Its just not what I would be very good at, and I am impressed by those that are good at it..again, I really do appreciate the very kind words!!!... bob

Charles Tilley · Post by **Charles Tilley** » 21 Feb 2007 9:56 am

Bob, you just have to get yourself to a point that you get it done. I am probably one of the worse players on the site but I did what I can do. What else could you ask of someone. The file of "SWEET PEACE" I did right here in my house with very simple equipment.

Put your mind to it and do something for the world to hear!!!!!
Just be yourself. If I can help with a track, contact me.

Charles,

Wow….I thoroughly enjoyed this web site.

BTW, it’s up to 1900 plus hits. No wonder!!

I am immensely impressed with the talent from this forum’s community of kindred spirits!!

This is like going to a GIANT Steel Guitar Show. So many variations and styles of playing songs, not to mention a treasure trove of licks to steel……Ooops!!

“THESE GUYS & GALS ARE GOOD!!”

I am book marking this site fer sure!! Well done…TX

Rgds,

Ron

What a great site! THANKS for sharing it with all of us. So wonderful to get to hear players outside our own neighborhood that otherwise would have slipped by without our ever knowing that they existed and/or played so very, very well. Hope you keep it up and running for a very long time.

I wanted to recognize another forum member that is on the current song that I sent Charles, "Bernice's Bounce". That would be my good friend from Canada, John Steele. John and I did this song through the mail years ago. He played the piano, acoustic bass and drums. Then me a cassette and I put the steel on it. I finally got to meet John a few years later at the ISGC in St. Louis. Needless to say, John is a killer jazz player. It was an honor to be on the same tape with him. The audio quality is not that great on the file, but we had a great time doing it.

What a nice original tune! I'm a sucker for diminished chords and great playing by two fine players, steel & piano. Nice cool jazz!
Stuff you might not really expect to hear on that "whinney thing!"
Outside the "box" always gets me! Charlie has a great site there. I guess I heard them all! I was ready to give my vote to "Miss Molly" till I heard Ken & John doing the tune they put together! I learned to play string bass listening to Bob Wills old '78s on a wind-up victrola! Western swing's nice, but Ken & John did one better!

Ken Williams · Post by **Ken Williams** » 21 Feb 2007 9:48 pm

Thanks Doug for the kind words. One correction though, Bernice's Bounce is not an original composition. I had submitted a song about a month ago that was one of my own original compositions and I guess Charlie may have misunderstood or overlooked taking that comment off the page. Sorry for the mix up.
Back in the 90s I was looking for some new stuff to learn and taped that song off a jazz radio station. Through a chat room, I asked John if he could help me with some of the chords in the song, and somehow we ended up recording our own version of it.
By the way, John is a fine steel player too. And, he plays 5 string banjo in addition to all the other instruments mentioned.
What a talent!

I guess I didn't clarify this very well when I placed the post so I better do it now.

Artists are allowed to change the song monthly but not have more than one song on the site at a time. This is due to space I have. If you have a song on the site and send a replacement, I will do the replacement but not an addition.

I hope all of you understand. It is a matter of space later on.

Bobbe Seymour · Post by **Bobbe Seymour** » 22 Feb 2007 4:19 pm

This is a great thing here, and I say so because it gives a new venue for steel guitar, but mostly, it lets us all know what others are sounding like, folks that I personally know from my steel store sales that I have known for years and never heard them play. Now I can.

Putting a face to a name is always nice but this is 50 times better, I know everyone on this list of players, but have only heard less than 10 percent of them play! Hey, I'm even related to one of them and haven't heard him play in a couple of hundred years!

Doug Seymour is ole' "Uncle Doug" (Slim Seymour), and is playing "Tangerine", it's great to hear him on the top of the guitar instead of seeing him under it!

I have much to thank (blame) Uncle Doug for over the past many decades, I may have been a good lawyer if Doug hadn't introduced me to Jerry Byrd, Bud Isaacs, Slim Idaho, and Joaquine Murphy in the early '50s. ( Did I say "Good Lawyer? Oximoron? Ha!)

Charles, a great thing you have going here, but then again, you are a pretty great guy in the world of steel guitar,

Bobbe Seymour

Bobbe, you are a SILVER-TONGUED DEVIL!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Lennon · Post by **Jamie Lennon** » 22 Feb 2007 4:42 pm

wow this is great, im sitting at the computer at 12.40am bored, than I came across this, better make some coffee cus Im gonna be up longer now listening, thanks ever so much

Doug Seymour · Post by **Doug Seymour** » 22 Feb 2007 4:50 pm

Bobbe used to scold me with that! "If you had spent as much time on the top as you have on the underside (mechanics/experimenting) maybe you could play the darn thing by now. I started in 1946 & Bobbe was there! Gave him the Epiphone (homemade) triple 8 when I got a MultiKord after "Slowly" in '54 He went after it like a house afire! Had all the great folks along the way help him learn to pick & he does.....his OWN way! Shucks he even showed me the way to the Nashville C6th and took away my Stevens bar and eventually I learned how to use a bar the better way!

I am rather proud to have a song on Charles' site as well. I agree that it's a great site to have so we can all share what we love to do.

Man, I feel like I am working again. I spend hours each day trying to make this site better and I think it is just doing that---Gettin' better.

To have all you guys saying the nice things about me and the site that you are saying is reward enough for what I do. I just added one of the best recordings I have ever heard of "I Won't Mention it Again" by Bobbe Seymour and the "LATE" Jimmy Day.
You have just got to go hear this, but be ready for some of the smoothest steel you ever heard. Thanks Bobbe for allowing me to place this file on the site.

Jamie Lennon · Post by **Jamie Lennon** » 25 Feb 2007 5:18 pm

Thanks ever so much for posting my clip....

Dennis Schell · Post by **Dennis Schell** » 25 Feb 2007 9:14 pm

WOW!!! DOUBLE WOW!!!!

What a wonderful site Charles! Thank you so much for putting it together! I forsee many gallons, never mind cups, of listening enjoyment here! Hopefully in the not "too" distant future this rookie steeler may have some simple something I consisder worthy of sending you, until then I'll be sponging up inspiration at your site. (Straight in link from my desktop!)

Thanks again amigo!

Dennis
