This is frustrating!

Great post, Chris!
I toured with songwriter Sonny Curtis. Sonny spoke fondly of growing up with Weldon in Lubbock, TX and had nothing but praise for his musicianship. (I never had more fun - or ... |

I had just started fumbling my way around on my first steel when I was introduced to AC615's 'Welephant Walk' - my jaw dropped then and it still does today.
Weldon had such command of his prodig ... |

I checked, Bengt; I can reach P7 while engaging LKL: the current p7 (raising 5 and 6 a tone - along with lowering the Es) is a good one!
I'm still unsure about pedals 5 and 6.... |

Thanks to all for the informative responses.
Right now I have my newly acquired 12 string Zum. I'm in the throes of weighing my options regarding its setup. With only 7+5, I fear it's not a D13th ... |

Yes, Joe - I'm taken with the colour too.
I'm more and more leaning towards Ext E9. How I wish it had 6 pedals and 6 KLs!! Ps 1,2,3 will be my CBA. Pedal 4, having three pulls on it now, c ... |

It's interesting to me that both Gary Carter and Russ Hicks - two of the very best - both play it slightly differently.
Thanks for posting those links, guys. I'm fairly sure that I would failed Con ... |

I'm inclined to agree. I rather doubt that the player could have replicated this exactly if he'd had to. It sounds like he misses the A pedal at the first attempt (his foot slipped?) but gets it imme ... | |

Yes: some of Gary Carter's more esoteric moments on E9; the start to his 'Cold, Cold Heart', some spots in 'The Lighthouse Tale' and more.
Gray's recordings are like a music lesson, but with the co ... |

It's been a towel-on-the-table for me. Lifting the D10 that extra few inches into its case would be a 'bridge too far' for this cowboy.
I have been allocated a bath-towel that's now blemished with ... |

Maybe I should just switch the pedals (from ABC to CBA) in order to give the tuning a fair shot.
Right now, the Es raise on LKL; that will need to go to LKR. The big 'IF": if I were to swit ... |
