Jim, Hope this isn't too off topic. Both DirecTV & DishNetwork air the RFD TV network that plays a lot of those old shows including The Wilburn Brothers and The Proter Wagoner Show. From the website...

Darryl, I moved to Morro Bay from Flagstaff 4 years ago. So far we haven't gotten tired of this beautiful place. I have to pinch myself to see if it's for real and so far, it is. I miss Arizona and so many of our friends but when you live where people take their vacation, it's hard to leave and go anywhere else. As for a steel convention here, I'd be all for that but I'm afraid I'd find out that I had more friends and family that I don't remember. Yes, we get a lot of company, in fact, our place has been called Christine's Bed & Breakfast (my wife)by our families. The local Chamber of Commerce has the slogan, "Morro Bay, where the sun goes for the winter." In fact, the weekend of May 6-7 is our annual Cruizin' Morro Bay car show and we have our two '57 Chevies entered along with almost 600 other cars. God's country, for sure. |

One of the best C6th solo's I've heard in recent years is on Brad Paisley's You Have That Effect On Me. I'm pretty sure it was Randle Currie although Mike Johnson has done some previous cuts with Brad. This particular track has it all for me - great tone, taste and feel. For those of you who haven't heard it it's well worth listening to the whole thing including the solo and ending which has a double raise on it. |

Paul: Did you play C6 or E9 on "Something Special" by George S.?? I've played that tune almost identically on either neck and was wondering which you used on the recording. Great work on that stuff (and pretty much everything you do for that matter) man. Regarding hits with C6 another that stands out to me is Red Steagall's, "Lone Star Beer & Bob Wills Music" of the early/mid 70s which included Sonny Garrish playing C6. I don't think I've ever heard Sonny playing C6 on anything else and it was cool to see his name on the album liner credits. Chris "Tiny" Olson |

Tommy White has a smoking solo on Joe Nichol's song "Don't Ruin It For The Rest Of Us". I have this as a CD cut but heard in a fast food place this week so I guess it qualifies as a hit now! ------------------ |

Ken, the steel on Brad Paisley's "You Have That Effect On Me" was actually played by the fabulous Mike Johnson. The talented Randle Currie played on Brad's later albums, Mud On The Tires and his newest, Time Well Wasted. I would not consider "You Have That Effect On Me" a hit as it was never released as a single. I'm not saying it's not a fantastic tune, just being realistic. If you want an example of Randle's C6th playing, check out "Make A Mistake With Me (Instrumental)" from Mud On The Tires. Brad even helps him kick it off with the introduction, "Play it, Randle!"

Garry Walker, Sheesh! You got Morro Bay, and you got two 57 Chevies? In high school, I had a '56 Chevy and my girl had '59 T'bird. I had the great pleasure once of driving up Hiway one in the midst of a rally. I was behind a 32 Ford roadster with cycle fenders a lot of the way. I tried to fit in by downshifting my Volvo a lot. We have a lot of car shows in Phoenix. I saw a '55 Bel Air on Thursday and a mid 60s Chev pickup today. Morro Bay has about the best year-round weather in the country. And then there's poor old Gary Myers in my hometown of Sack o' tomato. |

Check out Doug Jernigan's work with Vassar Clements on Hillbilly Jazz, and Hillbilly Jazz rides again. It's all terrific stuff, but the solo on your mind's on vacation,(but your mouth's working overtime) is about as good as it gets anywhere. |
He also plays some C6th on the bonus disc of the special edition version of Time Well Wasted on the song "Hard To Say Hello". Not sure why that song wasn't released on the regular edition of the Paisley album, as it's really humorous, emotional, and tastefully musical the way only a Brad Paisley song can be.This topic is 2 pages long: 1 2 All times are Pacific (US) | next newest topic | next oldest topic |
