My Copper Mountain is a great road instrument and with both pickups it can do a wide range of things. Easy to carry on a plane. I am really happy I bought it.

Thanks T.C.!

John was a good and wise man and a great friend to me. This is a devastating loss to the steel guitar community.

I'm very sad to hear this. Tommy's joy at making music was an inspiration to so many. My thoughts are with Donna and the family.

Great review Olli!

I can't wait until I can come east and visit it!

I agree that a typical pedal steel seat which is I think around 22 inches is really too high for dobro although I can manage it when doubling on a small stage. In terms of Jerry's question my view i ...

I use a cheap folding stool from Canadian Tire. You can get them with or without a backrest. Light as a feather.

DADF#AD usually. Or the same voicing in different keys. My baritone is usually in B and I have a short scale that is usually in F.

Great stuff!!

I'm so very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with my friend Eddie and the rest of his family.

Thanks Guy! And thanks b0b!

Very sad news. I'm sorry for your loss Joe!

With great sadness I made a decision on Saturday not to make the trip.

Hi Jeff. Yes Cage was in Ian and Sylvia's band the Great Speckled Bird and appeared regularly on a weekly TV Show with them. Check out their 1969 album called Great Speckled Bird.

This just in. While the steel player in the video was indeed Bill Herchuck, it has been conveyed from Bob Lucier through a couple of other prominent Ontario steel players that the steel track was pr ...

A sad day for so many of us. He inspired me for many years, and when I got to spend a bit of time with him he was kind and fun to be with.

With the help of Al Brisco, who connected with the keyboard player in the clip, the steel player has been identified as Bill Herchuck. Al says the video was from a Hamilton-based TV show originally c ...

Well I've had a great time running this past a veritable Who's Who of the Canadian music scene and beyond and although it seems clear now that it was not Danny Marshall no one knows who this guy was. ...

Perhaps Danny Marshall from Calgary - that's Redd's suggestion. It would make sense that this was out west.

Good idea.....

Hey Mike, still clinging to the face of the planet unlike too many folks that we knew! The way the guy in the video plays reminds me of how a western Canadian guy named Dick Kreuger sounded on the ra ...

No worries Mike! I wondered if it was Ron at some phase of his life I hadn't seen him in but couldn't quite make it work!! He was a hero of mine, and of course played with Tyson a fair bit over the ...

Hi Allan, yes which makes me irritated that I don't recognize this player. On reflection I actually think I know who it might have been but I'm going to try to confirm! Tommy Spurlock, who I mention ...

Tommy Spurlock played on the studio version as I recall but that's not him in the video. I'll consult with some Tyson alumni.
