Thanks Michael, I'm glad you like my books. I've watched a couple of your youtube videos, playing lap steel, and they sound good. Keep up the good work!

Barbara, that's great to hear! I'm glad you're enjoying the songs and playing them at open mic's. Comments like yours make me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. Enjoy your steel guitar!

One more testimonial. Doug's tab books opened the world of C6 lapsteel for me. Good arrangements and the recordings as something to aspire to -- especially that intonation. Didn't take too long before I was able to work out arrangements on my own and write songs as well. Certainly the way I'd recommend to someone learning to play. Hat's off, Doug, and thanks again.
