[for Non-events and Announcements:]
The sounds that came out of my amp last Friday were so disgusting that I haven't touched the steel guitar since then and have decided to give up playing it altogether.
Inertia keeps bringing me back to this forum however, where I can always find good clear thinking re religion, politics, diet, superstring theory, etc.

Earnest, The sound that came out of you amp on THURSDAY night was awesome! Many in the crowd, myself included, were certainly enjoying it enough to stick around until closing time. We were also fortunate to be able to buy copies of the new CD: "Chris Gaffney and The Cold Hard Facts Live And Then Some" featuring some great playing by you on the live cuts and Gary Brandin on the old "Road to Indio" cuts.
So maybe you should check your amp or your guitar. You can't decide to give up playing
it altogether! You have no choice! Besides, where will we go in Orange County to hear some fantastic picking? You know, you "can always find good, clear thinking re religion, politics and diet" just about anywhere.
Not so with inspirational picking!!!
Now enough of this nonsense. You must sit down at your guitar and play and post your next appearances here in "Events and Announcements". You must, you have no choice! |

Ah! What a delectable afternoon in southern California!
Not a cloud in the sky!
Not a relative or in-law within 200 miles!
and NO WHINY THING!! |

Well, Earnest, I guess this frees some time up for you... I hear that Disco Diva Donna Summer is looking for a keyboard player for a "comeback tour"... perhaps you might consider

Earnest,
How you holding up ? I tried to stop playing and it didn't work out so well. I got some music on the way for you once I get through the next batch of paperwork with this grant proposal stuff. I'm still waiting on that tape of the John Wayne band.

Lets be "Ernest" about this, you may sell you steel but everytime you hear a piece of music with steel on it, you'll be playing right along with the record...been there, done that, and got the T-shirt to proove it. So, don't sell just yet, wait 'til the cows (Bovine)come home.  (Aint that a cute little smiley face?)

| Maybe you are right. I still haven't touched the whiny thing and I have been saying no to the (lousy) work opportunites that have come my way, but this morning I feel like I have some obligations to work on some projects and I had better force those painful metal picks onto my fingers and start practicing the sounds that make me want to vomit. After all the guy who picks cotton for a living probably doesn't like it either but he still has to get up and go to work in the morning. |

I decided that not playing steel is even more disgusting than playing steel so I wimped out tried playing it again today.
It didn't bother me so much and I kept my lunch down.

You can do it Earnest. I lined all my dog howlers up in the sun room and let my wife set plants on them. The strings provide just the right spacing to let the water run out of that little hole in the bottom of the pots. Heck if they aren't just the right height too. It was too much trouble to move the plants, so I don't bother playing anymore. There wasn't a good singer within 500 miles anyway and the bad ones wanted me to play free
