Very nice playing with what appears to be just pointer finger with thumb. Thank you Bishop Hall.

| He's a member. Do a search here and you'll find plenty of his posts, but he tends to drop out for stretches. |

Hi Sherman! (Willden)
Yeah, I`m sorry to say, I do play with my index, finger, and thumb, It was the only way many of the earlier "Sacred Steel" players, of my generation learned to play. For me it has been 58 years of playing this way, and old habits are hard to break. So, I do what I can, with what I`ve got. Good, or bad!    (Mostly bad, but I`m having a lot of fun!!! ) Thanks for the encouragement, and kindness  ,
Ron
(Bishop Hall)

Hey Ron! (Whitfield)
Always glad to hear from you my friend! Yes, I guess I do tend to "drop out" a lot, but not for wanting to post, but it is just that I have this whole other life called "ministry?", that has a way of slowing me down   , plus a rather large family, with a very, very, patient "wife", who has a never ending list, of "honey do" things for me to complete.(which I never seem to complete  )! But never the less, I get in a "video" and a "post", every now and then, in my "SPARE" time ! So my dear ole friend if you dont see, or hear from me, speak a word of hope for me, and I will show up sooner or later!(Probably later) Warmest of greetings,
Ron
(Bishop overworked Hall)

Mr. Hall,You don't have to be an apologist,You play more with two picks than most of us do with three or four. I like your uptempo tunes. If your groove can't get someones feet tapping,THEN THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THEM. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Hi Stu! (Schulman)
I may be a little tardy in getting back to you. But I just wanted you to know that I highly appreciate your kindness, as well as all of the guys and gals on this forum, that makes a guy like myself feel that his labor is not in vain. I`ve always said that if what I do, can bring a smile to someone`s face, and makes them feel better, then I`ve done my job.
When I came to this forum, I came to be a part of a larger family of some very very wonderful musicians, to learn as well as share this gift that God had given me some 58 years ago. It wasn`t about fortune, or fame, it was about happiness. When I hear from the forumites such as yourself and others, I know I`m on the right track. So thanks again, I`ll keep doing the best that I can to make somebody "SMILE"! Be Blessed!
Ron Hall
(The Bishop) Yes, I really am a Bishop!

Sherman, finding the Bishop on here will be one of the most satisfying discoveries you will make. A track from him will always brighten my day. I don't always post for fear of just being a "cheerleader", but his music comes from a place that can't be taught. It isn't just heard, it is felt.

Hello Brother Clyde! (Mattocks)
After viewing your comment to our fellow colleague,dear friend, and fellow forumite brother Sherman Willden, I felt moved to tell you that your compliment has been the most heartfelt in the time that I have been a member here on the forum. Again, the music "does" come from a place that can`t be taught, because it comes from the heart. I just wanted to share that all of us, who are true musicians, in what ever God given capacity that He has given to us "must" play from the depths of our hearts, and our souls. With that being said, I just trust that all of us are truly just doing the best that we can, with whatever capacity of gifts we`ve been blessed with! So again "Thanks"! And to brother Sherman, "Thanks", for finding me on You Tube! Be Blessed!
Ron
(Bishop R.P.Hall)

When I am down and need an uplift from a guy that everyright to be down but doesn'get down (except on he steel)The Bishop always brings me back up again, not only with his fine talents, but with a sprit of new life that he shares and shares freely. Just wish he had been playing "I Fall To Pieces'
when his lovely wife was accompying him on the Les Paul and her hair piece fell off ...........what a hoot! But they both troopered on with show.
Real folks with real talent and most of all,a real love for his fellowman.
Count me in as a fan!! |

Hi Wally (Taylor)
Again sorry I`m late in response to your very kind, and moving comment, due to other responsibilities. But I truly "Thank You", and I`m sure if I had been thinking about what we were doing, maybe that idea of "I fall to pieces" would have been a "perfect" piece, to illustrate what was happening at that time. My wife, and I, still break out in laughter, at the site of this video.
Again my dear friend, "we" do thank you so much for your kindness, and support. Stay tuned, there is bound to be more of these videos. I live in a "wildly" funny environment, and anything is possible! Be Blessed, my friend.
Ron, and Delores Hall
