We know the moniker belongs to the late Mr. Byrd, but Herb demonstrates some magnificent "touch and tone" there!------------------

Is that a T-Logo he's playing there? Sounds like there's some added compression as well?Thanks

Thanks Guys! Jim, thank you. We've sent out about 50 TUFF FUN TABs so far, and we've been getting a lot of great feedback. It's very encouraging.
This is it here . .
It's a 1949-51 era model.
Compression?!? We don't need no steeenking compression . . well, maybe a little

Great sound from a master!! I had a Rick like that, a gift from Bobby Ingano. When I got a seven string bakelite, I gave it back to him. We thought it was a 1959 or '60 model year. Someone may have more info on models with that logo plate. |

There are certain players in this world that I call master musicians. Herb Remington is right at the top of the list. Nice to see he is still at it. Like fine wine he gets better with age. I still think he needs to write a book. Loveya pal, Bobby |

To quote my favorite movie:"That's some mighty fine a pickin and a grinnin there boys" When will the CD be released? Will there be a party? The Tuff Fun Tab is great. It really makes you think. I like the A6th tuning on my six string too but sure wish I had one of those panda's.

Thanks Mike! We've been getting a lot of great feedback about TUFF FUN TAB. It's been about 4 months now, and it's encouraging to hear from players who have been working with it for a while.Thanks Jody! We've sold about 60 of them so far, and we're hoping to break 100 by the end of the year!  |

Herb has always been one of my all time favorite steel players. Every since he gave me his tunings when he was playing steel for Bob Wills at the Trianon ballroom in Oklahoma City. That was around 1948 or so.I got a phone call from him last week and he asked me to join him on his set in St. Louis. My answer was a quick "NO-I can't do that". He asked me why and I told him the truth, "I have so much respect for you I would be scared to death"! He kept on me until I agreed. However, I told him I would have to pick the tunes. I rarely touch my steel guitar any more and like the time that Bobby Caldwell sugessted to Jerry Byrd that he thought it would be a good idea if Jerry and I played a tune together, I told Jerry that I had to pick a tune that I could practically play in my sleep. Herb agreed so we will do "Remington Ride" for one and I have no clue at this time what the other tunes will be. What an honor it is....to be invited to share the stage with such a great and wonderful man..Herb Remington. Scotty |
