I think the caption on the last photo should be:"Now that I've lured Herb into my "Dungeon of Steel" I can't wait to tell him he's never going to leave." |

Those are some great pics. Herb must think he has died and gone to non-pedal heaven. So many steels, so little time. While he is there you should record something and post it up. I have always been interested in his style of playing and would love to take some lessons from him. The commute from Colorado to Texas is just too much though! ------------------

We'll be taking some videos over the next few days.
We're mainly recording a lot, to complete 2 projects that we've been working on.
One is highly educational and one is all original.  We have several busy days ahead of us . . |

Herb is one of my favorites. I can't wait to hear the results. Ask Herb to play "Station Break" for you.

Rick, I'm fired up to hear the results of these two projects, and very curious to know more about the "educational" one. It's great that Herb is recording again, and I know your studio is the best possible environment for this. Wishing the two of you a completely successful "mission"!--Steve |

Are y'all on "The Strip" ... that seawall looks familiar ...  If I'da known Mr. Remington was hangin' out with you down there ... I'd have sent alittle extra in that envelope ... So you could take him to Mai Kai ... for a "Mystery Drink" ...  ... in the Molokai Bar They stopped servin' them via a topless Hula Girl though 
But there's always Pure Platinum ... next door

Sorry Howard, they were behind the camera taking the pics. But if this project is well-received we're already planning a sequel, and we'll hire a photographer so the hot bikini babes can be in the pics too.
We'll feature all your favorite thongs!

Where has the time gone? When I was still in highschool and trying to become a steel guitar player, I visited my sister in 1948 in Oklahoma City when Bob Wills was appearing at noon every Saturday at the upscale downtown Criterian Theater. Herb Remington was Bob's steel player at the time and he, along with Johnny Gimble and Tiny Moore (on four-string electric mandolins), were playing those "knocked out" harmony and riff arangements associated with Wills on many of the recordings of that era. Herb, modestly says that he was only with the Wills band about five years, but that it gave him a lifetime of being able to do what he loves to do....play the steelguitar and make a decent living. Herb is too modest, his interpretations and rides on the Wills recordings have been copied by multitudes of steel-guitar players throughout the years. Herb Remington is one of the ICONS of the steel guitar, whether he wishes to acknowledge it or not!

This is so cool!
This is very improtant in keeping non-pedal alive. We need to get these great players passing it forward. I can't wait to get this. Not only will I maybe learn something,  I will have a little piece of history. ------------------

Jeff Strouse stopped by the studio today to visit and check out the Steelmaster.
Here he is playing with one of the backup tracks from the soon to be released "Tuff Fun Tab" project that Herb and I have been working on. The backup tracks have no drums or midi, just acoustic guitars, bass, and ukulele where appropriate.
While Jeff was here, we did a photo shoot for his myspace.com babe magnet pics.
This one oughta do the trick . .

Boy, that was a lot of fun! To think I was sitting in the same chair as one of my steel guitar heros, Herb Remington! HOpefully something great rubbed off on me... Rick and Herb have both put a lot into this "Tuff Fun Tab" project and it shows. The backup tracks sound awesome and there's a nice mix of all types of songs...gospel, country, western swing, and Hawaiian. Cool tab, too...handwritten from the pen of a steel guitar legend. I look forward to getting one when it's becomes available. The more of us that jump on this thing, the better chance of maybe getting them to do a "Part Deux" !??! I'll have to plea the 5th on the wound string/glasses thing, though...
