Ricky, it sounds really nice, but don't you think it's extremely country? |

Ricky, is that the sound of the Fulawka and a Fender amp? |

Earnest that is the sound of My ShoBud(the one you saw/heard in Long Beach) and Fender amps. My Fulawka through my Fender Amp might be heard on Super Bowl Sunday on the back up song to the Monster.com commercial(so cross your fingers it gets picked up). Also we are cutting a swing CD...and will be out in a month or so......and there is ALOT of Fulawka on it......yeeee haaa. Ricky |

Got my copy yesterday and I absolutely love it. I listened to it and then wrapped it up and gave it to my wife for a present. After dinner today she let me use it to play along with, so I just set the CD player on repeat and went to work trying to copy some of Ricky's licks. |

Hey Chris;..yes Me and Dale and others. Dales' new project will be some of the standards we do("I left her in Ole Monterey""Dance all Night""Your Nobody till somebody loves you"...etc.) and a bunch that Dale Watson wrote......it will be killer Man. Joey that is Ssoooooooo cool Pal....let me know if I can help with any of those licks??? Oh how did you like my Dobro playing??ha...as you can tell...I play it about once a year..ha. Oh and some of those licks aren't obtainable unless you lower your 7th string a whole tone and raise your 2nd string a half tone at the same time....so don't beat yourself up over it...just a knee lever for the week thing....ha.

High praise indeed from the man who played Sweet Dreams so darn pretty my CD player started weeping when it played it. Now if I'd just quit being so lazy and actually learn it!!! |

Ricky your Dobro playing was great but the old Sho-Bud sound is what makes my heart slow way down. I just bought a new Ultra and a Morrell square neck from SGN and I am working hard to master them both. Interesting about the seventh string. I've got Seymours trick knee lever and I have a ways to go. Can't wait for Linda's next CD. Thanks for your help not only to me but to the other guys out here as well. |

Thank you Mr. Goldmark; that is a nice compliment my friend. Chris> yes indeed that is a great praise from Joe....he'da Man!! Joey; thanks pal.....and maybe I shouldn't of sold that particular ShoBud...ha....oh well. Oh and you can't do what I do with Bobbe's trick knee lever.....matter of fact....I can do all his tricks without it.....and he can't do any of mine with it...ha  Ricky [This message was edited by Ricky Davis on 27 December 2002 at 11:18 PM.] |

Ricky, I went in to my local Cracker Barrel to inquire about the CD, and was told by the manager that she knew nothing about the "Heritage Collection" or "Linda's Mercantile Store". The only CDs they have in the Columbia, MO store are the "Cumberland Records" CDs in the racks with the push-button-to-listen-to your choice preview system. When I went out to the CB web site, they say the Linda Lay CD is available "at these selected 50 stores", so I would suggest that anyone who has to drive a ways to the nearest store check the list on Cracker Barrel's web site first to avoid a wasted trip (unless you were going there to eat anyway)! BTW, what little I heard of the steel and Dobro playing on the downloadable demo sounded great. Mike |

Ok Mike cool> thanks for the heads up on checking the 50 different Cracker Barrel's that may have it. I think if the Heritage Music thing is a success in those 50.....it will move to all stores. Ricky |

Ricky, old Santa was very good to me this year and Linda's CD was right at the top of the list. Santa had chosen the Cracker Barrell in Richmond, Ky and Greg picked it up on the way home last weekend. He too had to inquire about it, but it was just out so I suppose that was part of the problem. I wasn't disappointed , I knew it would be a great CD and some good country on it. I am on Cracker Barrels email list so I knew it had been released for sure and started looking for it. Great job Ricky and its in the CD player now, I just have to keep rotating it with Gregs new CD so its been a lot of country for Christmas here. |

This is great stuff!! This is what great music is suppose to sound like. I did a search looking for other CD's by Linda Lay but could find no info on her at all. Any help? |

Thanks Jim. Yes Linda is a Bluegrass and Gospel singer and has been part of a group for years; so this is her first solo CD....so there may not be anything with just her name on it. Here is a direct link to the info/description of this particular CD and how it came about....and how to order. Click Here and GET IT!!!

Hi Ricky, While waiting for the download just wanted to say I really enjoyed listening to you and Dale Watson and the rest of the guys at Ginny's Little Longhorn saloon. The sound was great and you picked your you know what off. Take another listen to Farewell Party by the Bush. See you next time. George |

I got to have that CD! That´s the kind of music I like by instinct. Ricky - can´t you please bring Linda to Centralcaféet in Gävle, where we met last time? If good economy ever strikes me, I´ll be right there to have lessons from you. Best regards! Anders (fumbling along far from the home of country music) |

Anders that would be great to come back over with Linda. But they are struggling just to get gigs as most are here(except us in Texas..ha)... I'm sorry I don't have that CD avaliable as it was just a Cracker Barrel project(their project/their Product)...and I did ask for some but will probably get my "1"..ha....but if they do send me a stash(highly unlikely) than I will make them avaliable to all steelguitarforumites...

Yeah, I now that jobs are few outside Texas, and that´s why it was so fantastic to see and listen to you just an hour by car from where I live. I seriously think of go to Texas and stay there a year or two when I retire 10 yrs from now - in case we can rent our house to someone and find a reasonably good place to live in Texas. Anders |

Ricky, you sure are right about her having a great voice. You did a super job on the steel, enjoyed it very much. I appreciate all the tabs you have made available on your Rebel web site. Thanks, Jud |
