This may not be everybody's cup of tea, but these are the kind of sessions i get called to do usually. Kind of spacey, Americana/folk stuff, Thats not really steel guitar music. Its not my best playing by any means but i do kind of like the tone. P.S. The "solo" is not a solo...Its a back up track the producer glued together. My wife says everyone I record with In Ithaca sounds the same. This guy is a very good singer/songwriter(Walter Strauss). Here is the link, let me know if it doesnt work...BOB... http://www.freefilehosting.net/?id=rdD1l6jY [This message was edited by Bob Carlucci on 16 September 2005 at 05:11 PM.] |

A .cda file is the file that cd players read to play a song from a cd (C)ompact (D)isk (A)udio It is a small file, about 1k. It sounds like he posted a link to the file on the cd. He needs to make an mp3 file from the song and then post the mp3 file. Jay |

Charlie.. its working fine here.. If you have dial up,your toenails will grow while waiting for it to load.. Its a good size file.. This piece is pretty indicative of a lot of the music coming out of Ithaca NY.. lots of spacey/folky/whatever... NO country... bob |

Bob, very thoughtful work and it fits right into the sound of the music. I can see why you would get a lot of these kinds of calls. Bob C. said, "Kind of spacey, Americana/folk stuff, Thats not really steel guitar music." Sounds like you're "making it" steel guitar music. Bob P. |

RP... man that reply made my day.. bless your soul!... The reason I get all these type of calls is because I'm the only game in town!..Not many steel guitarists.. LOTS of good talent around here.. but I LONG to play some nice hot E9 country....Its been so long, I think I forgot how!!.. bob |

Bob, Nice tone and style, perfect fit for the song. The lay back progression serves the song and gives it it's own character. Your experience is evident in listening to your professional control of the instrument. Hope to hear more of your playing. ------------------ |

I got it! and I'm sure glad I did. I think this is actually the first time I've heard you play. Great sound. quote: I don't agree. Every phrase you're playing is milked for everything it's got, and so the spacious sound of the steel really comes out. This, to me, is what good steel playing is all about, and you did it really well. Wherever the steel playing echoes the music that's going on, that's real steel. You can be proud. I should ever play so well. |

Great playing and terrific tone Bob! I think your phrasing is very tasty and imho, it is a fantastic fit for the tune...fits so well, that I can hardly imagine the tune without your PSG! Dang, I'd love to be able to pull that off half as well as you did! I agree with some of the other posts in that I don't find it at all wierd. I think the line continues to blur between country and folk, rock, blues, etc., and playing such as yours and many others on this forum imho helps tremendously to promote our great instrument in genres outside the country mainstream. Thanks for sharing a taste of your work! [This message was edited by Larry Weaver on 18 September 2005 at 06:26 AM.] |

You guys are a bunch of sweethearts!... I dunno, I guess the reason I see it as weird is this... I would love to be able to create a sound that is marketable,.. by that I mean, a good ,studio friendly,commercially viable approach that interests Nashville or Texas musicians,singers,producers etc. I hear it all the time on this forum, and I cannot comprehend how its done.. Its just so big and full and gorgeous sounding, and is elusive to me.. yes I can do these "niche" recordings and my peers [like you guys] are always saying they like what I play, but to my ears, its just not "pedal steely" the way I'm used to hearing it... .... the comments are really heart warming guys, and I am NOT down on myself..

Holy smoke, they even let you do two parallel steel tracks! You don't even hear that coming out of Nashville.  Well done, Bob. ------------------ |

What about the details of the recording; the steel, mics, speakers, etc? That is a really sweet sound and yeah, spacey or laid back. I like it. Reminds me of Greg Leisz and his stuff "sells". I think it is great for you to let it be heard. That is just another way to find more music to play. Thanks for sharing. |

Carter steel S 10 w/5 and 5 ... TrueTone pickup.. in either 8 K or 12 K position[forgot]..Fender Deluxe Reverb amp on one track,board direct on second... EB volume pedal. This was done in a small home studio .. The engineer Rich DiPaulo is an excellent technician and a GREAT musician,, very well known in this area.. I have worked with him quite a bit,.. he has the same sounds in his head as I do when it comes to steel, and whenever I work with him, there WILL be a Fender tube amp present... He helps create a sound he, I,and the artist will be happy with... bob |

I don't know enough, yet to comment, but I had to tell you that I really enjoyed listing to your music. I just recently have started learning to play. I have a GFI Ultra, Fender Steel King. Thanks for your "weird" psg music. |

I was about to ask what you played on/with--previous post answered it...Ithaca must be in a time warp, I hear sounds like Neil Young without a harp, --was it Bill Keith? -no BEN Keith--on the Harvest albumm--used a single neck Emmons/Tube amp--very similar timbres/tone..like it alot. I thought it mighta been the Williams; that Carter sounds Fender to my ear, with the TT in place. Interesting material..at 1st pass, thought it was Christian topics..heard 'born agin..' --BUT NO...it's Nature/Spring equinox thematic...hang in, Bob. JZ |

Bob, Nice stuff indeed! What scares me is that its an awful lot like the stuff me and a lot my buds play when were just"jamm'in at one of our basements...Back in the day there would probably have been a "cloud of thick Blue smoke"in the air,he, he, he!Kind of the Folksy,Cosmic Cowboy stuff that I grew up on and hold near and dear to my heart right along with the hard core Country stuff.Thanks for posting! I would by a CD of this stuff! ------------------ |

Good stuff, Bob! Not all that different, but not your standard country fare, either. I hear influences of B.J. Cole, Greg Leisz, and maybe some Buddy Cage and Red Rhodes, as well. Thanks! |

nice tone Bob, kinda Emmons sounding to me, you will have the best of both worlds with the "wood" sound you're after, want to hear the Williams next, very nice and tasty playing |
