Besides my work, there is of course Buddy Emmon's recording of the "Taco Bell Cannon" B.J. Cole's "Transparent music" and Marshall Hall's LP "Classical Steel Guitar" which has been out of print for years is probably impossible to find. Marshall Hall's LP was one of my major inspirations. Although it is inconsistant, and some of it is painfully out of tune, his rendition of Chopin's Nocturnes remains in my opinion, one of the most beautiful steel guitar recordings ever made. |

You might scroll down the list of posters on 'steel players' for Roy Thomson. He has done a couple of classical era pieces lately. Taco Bell Cannon. That's good. |

I have a CD called "Steel Chords" by modern composer Sasha Mason that's a concerto for steel guitar and strings, the steel player is our own "Earnest Bovine", Doug Livingston. The composer wrote really tame parts for the steel and let the violins have all the fun for some reason. "Firebird Suite" has got to be the gold standard. A lot of people use Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin and his solo cello suites as a source of practice and inspiration, but I don't know that anybody's chased down the "Chaconne" in D minor on tape yet? <-(joke) If you're after a great source of material, there's the "Classical Music Fake Book 2nd Edition" from Hal Leonard. |

On his Minors Aloud album, Buddy Emmons does innovations on a Bach Bourree. On his latest CD, Going Home, Bill Stafford does a nice adaptation of the theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony, No. 9. |

Randy Beavers did a very nice Bach "Jesu" on one of his CDs "Still, A Way without words". You can get it on the forum. [This message was edited by Bill Hatcher on 18 October 2005 at 09:51 AM.] |

I always thought that Johnny Taco Bell should record Cannon in B minor, since he was a minor relative of Johann Pachebel. |

Thanks for the help, I'll be checking on all that, and more if anyone else has more ideas. Bernard |
