I'd like to wish all my friends on the Forum Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Kwaanza, Winter Solstice, or WHATEVER you celebrate -- and may the new year bring you joy, happiness, and -- most of all -- NEW STEEL GUITARS.

I'd be remiss if I left out a special thanks to Bobby Lee, who continues to provide us a place to exchange ideas and to draw those of the Steel Guitar Community closer together in fellowship. Bless you, b0b.

My gift (or maybe it's really a CURSE) to those who care to listen is this meager little rendition of Winter Wonderland .

Best wishes to all

Larry- That was a fine rendition of "Winter Wonderland". I liked it. I have played that song for many years. It has such pretty chords.

Your tone and clarity and technique were outstanding. I liked the way you blended the E9 side with the B6 side. Thanks for sharing and I wish you a Happy Holiday Season...al

Thanks, Bill
It's in the key of B on a E9/B6 universal, so that part is with the bar at the 7th fret and the 'Jingle Bells' part is played behind the bar.

Thanks for asking. Best wishes to you and yours.

And, George, you made my day.

Thank you so much, Larry - that's beautifully thought-out, and a wonderful Christmas present for us all!

John,
A steel guitar orchestra, yeah, that's the ticket.

Wayne,
That was my NEXT QUESTION (you must by psychotic or something). But you can't have my Standel. (so THERE)

Hey Mark,
You may not remember but Kazoo is beautiful this time of year. I think it's time for a northern tour -- whoever you're playing with now.
You and Kim have the best New Year ever!
