HowardR Member From: N.Y.C.,N.Y.	posted 07 November 2005 02:03 PM profile As if this PSGA show isn't shaping up to be one of greatest shows ever..... Jody and I have been discussing this and we're going to make it happen.... In honor of Leo Fender, Jerry Byrd, and Jody Carver, Jody has graciously agreed to play (in each of his two sets) a couple of tunes on The Jerry Byrd Fender steel guitar that Leo Fender custom built for Jerry Byrd, according to Jerry's exact specifications. This will be history in the making!
Rick Alexander Member From: Florida, USA	posted 07 November 2005 02:37 PM profile Man I wish I could be there . .
Jeff Strouse Member From: Jacksonville, Florida, USA	posted 07 November 2005 02:43 PM profile Wow! I wish I could be there, too. The King Knight playing the Holy Grail!
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed~ Dodger Blue Forever	posted 07 November 2005 06:40 PM profile Oh Boy I had better start trying to play those great Jerry Byrd licks. I know of NO ONE who has more respect for the late Jerry Byrd. He was an inspiration to steel players all over the world. Thank you Howard Rick,and Jeff. I hope I can do justice to the GREAT Jerry Byrd's unique style and a tone and touch he is known for. Rick come on up ,would like to see you. Jeff you would be welcome at the PSGA. Jody
BobbeSeymour Member From: Hendersonville TN USA	posted 07 November 2005 07:10 PM profile I wanna too!~ I wanna too! I want to play ONE three minuet song on it, Please??? After Jody, I jest gotta"! A thumb style, to commemorate Jerry's WSM radio show he did with Chet in the '50s. I'd love it! Hey, I'm in show biz too! Bobbe!
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed~ Dodger Blue Forever	posted 07 November 2005 08:54 PM profile Bobbe I should only play one half as good of what you play. It is you that should be in the SGHOF and I cant wait to meet and hear you..
John Bechtel Member From: Nashville, Tennessee,U.S.A.	posted 07 November 2005 11:09 PM profile Jody; I always miss everything! At least capture something on tape for me to hear! You know just how big of a fan I was/am of both Jerry Byrd and you!

Tony Davis Member From: Brisbane, QLD, Australia	posted 08 November 2005 04:17 AM profile Jody...as you know I am a friend of yours but also a fan of Jerry Birds........this would be great if you could either get it on tape or CD of you playing his guitar...please put me down as number one on the list to get a copy of you playing it.......we'll sort out the money and the mail later Tony
Charlie McDonald Member From: Lubbock, Texas, USA	posted 08 November 2005 04:26 AM profile What a concept! I can see the line forming behind the Leo Fender Jerry Byrd guitar. Those who are called are many; those who are chosen are few.
HowardR Member From: N.Y.C.,N.Y.	posted 08 November 2005 05:14 AM profile quote: What a concept! Yes, this is the time, and this is the place. This guitar was made to be played by capable hands. Bobbe, your set is right after Jody's. The guitar is there and set up. By all means. This gets better all the time.
HowardR Member From: N.Y.C.,N.Y.	posted 08 November 2005 06:59 AM profile quote: Those who are called are many; those who are chosen are few. Yeah, well, those who have to clean it, re-string it, schlepp the dang thing back & forth & up & down is one!.... [This message was edited by HowardR on 08 November 2005 at 07:35 AM.]
Charley Adair Member From: Maxwell, Texas, USA	posted 08 November 2005 07:13 AM profile WIll anyone be making video highlights to sell? Sure would be nice. ------------------ Sho-Bud PRO-I, 4&5
HowardR Member From: N.Y.C.,N.Y.	posted 08 November 2005 07:32 AM profile I know that video taping is not permitted at the show as stated on the flyer.
Mark Vinbury Member From: N. Kingstown, Rhode Island, USA	posted 08 November 2005 09:27 AM profile I always wondered about the video taping situation at this show. They have great real time,on screen, video coverage of the performers hands and instruments taken from above. Are these cameras feeding to tape? It would be terrific if videos of these performances were available.
Bob Maickel Member From: Floral Park, NY	posted 08 November 2005 04:15 PM profile FYI: PSGA does videotape its events, for archival puposes only, using a simple camcorder, not the Big screen stuff. Due to copyrights, artist royalties and a million other reasons, the tapes are made to maintain a history of our organization's accomplishments. They are NOT for sale or public distribution in accordance with the by-laws of the Pedal Steel Guitar Association Inc. (A Not For Profit Corporation) Due to several unfortunate incidents at other steel shows many years ago, several name players including the late Jeff Newman, Jimmy Day, Hal Rugg, and others advised they would not perform if anyone (including the PSGA) videotaped their sets. Our legal contracts with the name players include the guarantee that PSGA will not make public any videos from our archives.
Ben Rubright Member From: Port Charlotte, Florida, USA	posted 09 November 2005 06:45 AM profile There is quite a difference between taping the show and taping JUST this moment in time. I am sure that a professional could be hired to do this and nothing else. I would stand in line for a copy of this as I am sure many many others would.
Ben Rubright Member From: Port Charlotte, Florida, USA	posted 09 November 2005 06:46 AM profile There is quite a difference between taping the show and taping JUST this moment in time. I am sure that a professional could be hired to do this and nothing else. I would stand in line for a copy of this as I am sure many many others would. Does anyone know if the show is the same weekend next year. I would like to plan my schedule to include it......I cannot come this year....alas.
Bob Maickel Member From: Floral Park, NY	posted 09 November 2005 08:19 PM profile Ben Rubright "this moment in time" is part of our PSGA show. Helloooo are you with us? No video means No Video. (How many lawyers do you have on retainer?)
Ben Rubright Member From: Port Charlotte, Florida, USA	posted 09 November 2005 08:40 PM profile Bob Maickel: I understand legal reasons why you would not (cannot) tape the show. My only thought was that perhaps this one event may not be subjected to the conditions that cause the "No Video" policy to be in effect.....and yes I am with you and not against you. I just find that in general, across the board rules do not necessarily need to apply to everything that they are forced to apply to. All I wanted to do was ask the question. I am just sorry that it was met with such an offensive reply.
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed~ Dodger Blue Forever	posted 09 November 2005 09:08 PM profile Easy boys. Bob and Ben are both Brooklyn Dodger Fans and so am I. Lets feel bad about 1951 when Bobby Thomson hit that winning Home run in the bottom of the ninth inning off of Ralph Branca. Lets play ball and have some fun please. Peace to both of you. A BROOKLYN DODGER FAN now and FOREVER. This PSGA show will be great video taping or no video taping. I'm going to sue the New York Giants for winning the game on a short home run into the left field stands. At ease, Life is to short. Both Bob and Ben are my friends. and wait there's more. The Knight Of Dodger Blue Has Spoken
BobbeSeymour Member From: Hendersonville TN USA	posted 09 November 2005 09:18 PM profile Hey wait a min here, I'm the Brooklyn Dodger fan! I still have my football clubs!
Jody Carver Member From: The Knight Of Fender Tweed~ Dodger Blue Forever	posted 09 November 2005 10:25 PM profile clubs with pedals you devil you Be good to see you Bobbe.
Ben Rubright Member From: Port Charlotte, Florida, USA	posted 10 November 2005 03:06 AM profile Jody: When the Knight Of Fender Tweed/Dodger Blue speaks, who would not listen? We will miss seeing and hearing you this weekend. You and the Bobster will be an awesome combination....and Bobbe...football clubs???...have I got a deal for you on tennis bats!!!!! Ben
Mike Gross Member From: Fairfield, Connecticut, USA	posted 10 November 2005 08:27 AM profile Hey guys! I was a NY Giants (baseball, not football) and now San Francisco Giants fan and I am not rubbing it into y'all maybe you all can bury it for this weekend. ------------------ Mike

Wayne Cox Member From: Chatham, Louisiana, USA	posted 10 November 2005 09:02 PM profile OK, I'm confused,I admit it. I know which steel guitar you are all drooling over,but I don't know where the steel show is being held,that it will be featured at? If I miss the show, will someone at least take some snapshots of the famous steel,and post them for the rest of us to see??? Please! ~~W.C.~~
BobbeSeymour Member From: Hendersonville TN USA	posted 10 November 2005 09:11 PM profile Wayne, the steel wasn't famous, until this thread, but it is now, I'll get you a picture. Your buddy,
HowardR Member From: N.Y.C.,N.Y.	posted 11 November 2005 05:00 AM profile quote: take some snapshots of the famous steel,and post them for the rest of us to see??? Absolutely! The JB Fender is well known among non peddlers and certainly in the last several years due to the internet. It's the ONLY Fender that Leo ever custom built to a performer's specifications. I have a letter of authenticity from Forrest White. He mentions that Chet Atkins had it in his posession for a period of time. This steel is rarer than a Bigsby. Some people ask what its worth. I have no idea nor is it of any importance to me. It's value is like one of Bobbe Seymore's cds...."Priceless" I'm glad that it's safe and available to be showcased in a steel guitar show....it was made to be played.

Joey Ace Sysop From: Southern Ontario, Canada	posted 11 November 2005 06:20 AM profile quote: "It's value is like one of Bobbe Seymore's cds..." No comment,that's just too easy Seriously, I'm looking forward to the pix, and thanks to HR for making it available to be played>
HowardR Member From: N.Y.C.,N.Y.	posted 11 November 2005 07:31 AM profile Joey, there's no sport in it when it's too easy I'll be picking up Bobbe, Russ, & Randy at the airport & taking them to Norwalk,....unless they want to catch the last set of the Django Fest at Birdland...
BobbeSeymour Member From: Hendersonville TN USA	posted 11 November 2005 07:59 AM profile Wow! That really must be a valuable steel guitar! I can hardly wait to get my non-pickletted fingeres amongst the high tensioned stainless strands on the stage of the overpriced Double-Tree auditorium/ballroom/convention center and demonstrate its capabilities to the throngs/multitudes of spellbound fellow pickisists and their "bored to tears" loved ones. (and in some cases, wives)
