I didn't mean to hijack this thread, maybe we need to start a new one "Re-discovering Lloyd Green". It's great that Lloyd is still with us and still playing as good as ever.

Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Big Hits on Big Steel is my favorite Chalker recording.

This seems like a good time to point out that I still have about 150 copies of the DVD I had made from his two 1986 concerts. I'm asking $17.50 for them. 15 bucks for the DVD and the rest to cover shipping.

I am not in the business of making steel guitar DVDs. I did this in order to preserve these performances, which otherwise would have been lost.

Thanks Mike Perlowin for putting this DVD together to preserve the memory of a great player. I might say that the great Johnny Davis is playing guitar on the first half of the DVD. I never got to hear Johnny play steel, but he was a monster guitar player. I did get to hear him play guitar a few times at the Phoenix show. He even dazzled Curly on some of his breaks, and Curly was also a great guitar player. I've got to get this DVD out and watch it again, it's been a while.

Indeed. Kudos to you, Mike.[/quote]
