Howard....Mixed Nuts???? I've been dealing with them for 32 years and I love every one of them. Steel guitarists are the greatest and I'm as nutty as the rest of 'em when it comes to the steel guitar. Yep, Gunsmoke really smokes on the bandstand especially with the twin guitars of Jeff and Scott. Lookin' forward to that as well. Merle, I have no idea what the schedule is at this point. Jeff DeMaio is workin' on it as I type this. Rest assured it will be a good one. |

Bob Hoffnar suggests checking out the local music scene in NY., and he is spot on. If anyone gets into town early, it just so happens the The Django Reinhardt Festival at Birdland begins Nov. 8 (Tues night) and runs through the weekend. The top gypsy jazz musicians from Europe are flown in and American guest jazz artists share the stage with them. This is amazing music from the other end of the spectrum and a nice prelude to the PSGA show. A lot of great music in NY/CT for this week & weekend in Nov. If anyone is interested, please contact me. I'll be driving up to CT. on Friday night after the Fest. |

The PSGA show is where it's at. Nice folks, excellent pickers and you can get up close to the players. Not so at the St. Louis Convention. I'm looking forward to it this year and hope to meet many of my old friends. Don |

Dan, It was my pleasure that you did tape it and feel free to tape as much of "Swingin' West" as you like. It will be wonderful to have Hall of Famer Jody Carver live at the PSGA show in November. ------------------ |

I've said this before. It's one thing to hear Jody, it's another thing to see him play. The techniques are quite visual. It's an art that that should not go by the wayside. |

I agree. I met Jody a short time after I took up the steel guitar in 1953. He impressed me with his playing ability beyond my belief. All I could think was "How did he ever do that"? Well, I was fortunate that Jody took me under his wing and showed me how he did that. I tried it and most of it worked out very nicely, but I was not Jody Carver, I consider him a great friend and a caring mentor. Thanks Jody for all you did for me, inviting me to be your guest at the NAMM shows in NY City where you introduced me to Don Randall, the Fender execs and reps and most of all to Jerry Byrd who was at the Rickenbacker exhibit back in the mid 50's. While I idolized your playing, I was listening to Byrd long before I knew you. What a great lifetime experience for me! (BTW, Jerry remembered meeting me at the Hotel New Yorker back then. What an amazing man he was). Thanks Jody for all you have done for every steel player. In recognition of you as a true innovator and member of the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame.I hope everyone able will attend the PSGA show November 12th and 13th to hear you play. |

Bob, I agree, if you want to see a living legend in person make your plans now to come to Connecticut in November to see this man enshrined in Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, JODY CARVER in person. In addition to this living legend we have Hall of Famer Herby Wallace, Bobbe Seymour, Gunsmoke, etc. etc. |

I've just received the tentative player schedule from our show coordinator, Jeff De Maio. If you can only attend one of the 2 days, you'll not be disappointed. You'll be treated to the finest steel playing by some of the best in the business on both days. If you can attend both days, then you will experience the ultimate treat! The sked will be in our show flyer sent by snail mail and we will also publish it on our web site: |

Well, at this show, Jody met some steel heros that he had never met before. At one point he met John Hughey.....they were introduced in the men's room of all places! Mr. Hughey didn't know Jody's background and thought that Jody was the attendant handing out towels! That's Jody's version. Of course it's hysterical to hear Jody tell the story. Aside from the music, it's a great venue for old and new friends to meet and have a great time. You can't lose. [This message was edited by HowardR on 29 September 2005 at 02:03 PM.] |

Jody, Thanks for the kind words about me and the bump for the PSGA. It is good to see you back on the Forum. I sure hope that is a good sign. Just a heads up that my Friday, Oct. 7 (next week) "Swingin' West" show will be my annual tribute to the PSGA and the upcoming weekend and I already have a set of Jody Carver already put together to open the second hour of the show. ------------------ |

Funny you should mention Kirkland paper towels. Consumer Reports rated them one of the top brands for quality and cost. All Jody has to do is walk to the rear of the hotel and find the paper towel area in Costco and while there be sure to pick up a supply of the Kirkland batteries, they got a better rating than Duracell. CBS used the Duracell Pro series batteries for the RF mics and the IFB receivers that the talent used. The batteries were used just one time and discarded. When my supply of throw outs ran out several years ago I switched to the Costco brand. Jody, which steel will you bring to CT for your set(s)? |

Jody, Thanks for the kind words as usual! It is really appreciated! You are not only a great player but you are great with your comments. By the way, I know your humor perfectly. I read Bob's question about which steel are you playing and I knew after his comments about Kitrkland that you had your cue and you didn't disappoint me. ------------------ |

I understand from a reputable volume pedal manufacturer, that attempts are being made to reach a deal with Costco to design a Kirkland Super Sophisticated Volume Pedal, which will be totally wireless, cable free, require no batteries, use solar power and which will be attached to the cranium (head) of the player. This will enable the player to use 2 feet on the pedals without the afterhtought of having to use his right (or left) foot to accomplish volume swells and effects, just his thoughts about volume etc.... Of course this might be very detrimental in the use of proper technique as we know it today. But progress is very important to steel players. This device WILL NOT be on display at our PSGA Show on Nov. 12th and 13th, but a lot of other neat products will be: Fessenden and GFI Steel Guitars and the folks from QwikStix who make some of the neatest steel guitar accessories that every steel player should consider owning. Incidentally, now that Don Adams has passed on, we are seeking to obtain rights to "The Cone of Silence" which will be lowered on any artist who expounds verbally on any subject not related to steel guitar. In other words we are there for the music, not the talk!! We've had a lot of inquires about the show (especially from non-steel players). We look forward to a good attendance! |

Wow, looks like everyone in Norwalk will be in for quite a treat! Wish I could attend - maybe next year. Hey Jody - we'll have to get on the phone and get your commentary on my show. As a matter of fact, anyone attending the Norwalk PSGA show send me an email with your commentary of the show. Nothing like hearing it first hand! PS: Jody Carver old? Nah!!! Miss Lana |

Dan, Thanks so very much for your kind comments and for being out there listening to "Swingin' West." It will be my sincere pleasure to meet you at the PSGA show next month. I got a call from a listener in Canada a couple of weeks back to tell me that he will be at the PSGA weekend next month. Yesterday, I received a call from an Internet listener in Israel that will be there. This will definitely be a "World" event. ------------------ |

As I read all you guys talking about the show in Norwalk I have to admit that Bob Maickel deserves all the credit you are giving him, and more! He puts on a first class show and I always enjoyed the times that I played on the show. I was entertaining the idea that I would go this year. I am always aware of the weather as it can be possible to hit some some ice or snow between St. Louis and Norwalk. Strange, it hasn't happened as yet. I will be getting home from Japan on November 8th and was thinking that it might take a lot of my body to go to the show but I see that Joe Wright is going to be there and he gets home in Nashville on the same date. He might be flying up..I don't really know. If I could find someone to pick me up at the airport and take me back I would consider coming. I am not on the show but if I promised Herby Wallace I would pay for his steak dinner (and it is really his turn!) maybe he might let me play "I Can't Help It" with him. Just a thought. Scotty |
