Man,this is tough!I choose Hughey,Charleton,Green,Overbey,and Mooney.However,there are so many greats that could have been included in my top five.I chose these because of their uniqueness and the fac ...

Sorry about that Mike.I live in a steel guitar desert.There is no place close to me where I can hear live steel.There were several good steel players in my town or close by,but sadly they're all gone ...

I stand firmly with Bill and Roger.

Banjo jokes don't bother or offend me in the least.Neither am I envious of better/faster steel players.

I've been playing banjo since my teens and it has served me well since I started playing the ...

Anything new on the show?November 10/11 is fast approaching.I hope it's still on.

Mr.Morris was a very good singer in his own right.Youtube has several shuffles of his posted and they are pretty good,if you like shuffles.

Buddy Charleton on "Waltz Across Texas" by Ernest Tubb and John Hughey on "Last Date" by Conway Twitty.

There are so many that I love,but those are my favorites.

I second that Richard.I listened to Conway when I was a teenager and always thought that John was tops.He and Buddy Charlton were my major influences.

Years ago,there was a steel show in a music st ...

This is great news! I've really missed the show and all my friends that attended.I've got some plans for the next week,but I'm going to try my best to make it.

So sorry for your loss of your Dad Glenn.He looked a man whose life was well spent.

My daddy has been gone 21 years and I miss him every day.He was a WWII and Korean war veteran.

I saw him play at steel shows in Fulton,MS several years ago.He was really top shelf and knew his stuff.He and Bobbye Seymour played together and really put on a show.

RIP Wayne.

I don't go to clubs anymore,but when I did,the music was always too loud.Didn't matter what kind of music it was.Now I go to Christian conferences with our senior group at church and the music is deaf ...

I watched Buddy on the Ernest Tubb Show for years.I probably have all of them recorded.My favorite of all is "Waltz Across Texas." He could get more out of the A and B pedals than anyone I k ...

I hear you! Years ago I played in a bluegrass band and everywhere we played a lot of people just insisted on clapping.I hated it.Clapping out of time,drowning out the music,you name it.

Same here,Bill.I've been playing bluegrass banjo,Scruggs style,over 50 years.I don't have to think;I just play.Playing steel tires me out thinking so much because it doesn't come easy to me.I suck at ...

This is just terrible news!I always looked forward to talking to him and seeing him play at Gulfport and anywhere else I could go to hear him play.He was giant in my opinion.

Thanks,Andy

The show is the first Friday and Saturday of November.Starts around 5:00pm Friday until and 11:00am Saturday until it plays out around midnight.It's a little early,but Mr.Bill Stafford will start anno ...

Yes,I see him at every Deep South Steel Guitar show at Gulfport.The stupid coronavirus caused last year's show to be called off.Maybe Mr. Stafford will do it again this November.

I would prefer the paperback book,but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to purchase the hard cover if it were the only one available.I'm a voracious reader and I spend a lot of money on books.The price of ...

I never listened to her music until I saw this on Youtube.It's really good and I loaded it into my mp3 player.
