Hey Brian,
Saw that you sold the old ZB to Andrew. He says that he loves it. As far as Rayline steels, I like them. I visited Billy Ray earlier this year and has the opportunity to see and play a couple of his steels. Billy sat down at his personal steel, which looked like he hadn't sat there for a while, and played some beautiful music. The tone was rich and very full, kind of like a Sho~Bud. I believe that Billy used to work for Sho~Bud years ago. The most amazing thing was that his steel was perfectly in tune when he sat down at it. It is a unique instrument, but I agree with Mr. Seymour when he says it is "a lot of steel for" a little money.
Hope this helps,
Duncan |

I'm sure all this razzing was supposed to be harmless fun, but it's always difficult to be a speling-natzie and not come off like a reel prique.  Seriously though do a search in the pedal steel section, there's been a lot of discussion in the past about the Rayline steels. |

Brian D., and P. GleespenThe word is prick, it can be found in the same dictionary, and I am not trying to be one. I was merely trying to share some knowledge. Like Winnie I hate seeing the English language butchered. Please, bathe in your ignorance, I will stay out of it. Thanks! John Drury

John D,When I read your 1st reply I had thought that you were being funny. I guess you were not. You were really on a noble mission to share your vast knowledge with me about the proper usage and spelling of NEWBIE. Thank you, I know longer have to bathe in my ignorance.....Now for a reality check, YOU should lighten up,you posted a reply on a topic which you have no info on,and that would be fine if you were partaking in the fun, but you were not. And now you have hurt feelings because myself and another member poked some fun at your post.My response to your 1st post was because I thought that you could only be kidding,I never thought that someone would actually correct a person on the spelling of what is really a slang word and be serious about it.It must be hard for you to deal with such "simply" folk.Really, it must be quite a burden.It is nice though that your think tank gives you some time off so you can troll the forum and be a "spell check" Good Work.Brian D |

Amen.It's gonna be lonely on the forum if everybody that makes misstakes ain't gonna show up anymore.
And I still wonder.........how many of you guys have a teaching degree?
I sure for one have none.
But that does not say that i cannot play the steel guitar.And I think that that is what this forum is all about.

Teach people things...helping out..

Poor guy. All he really wanted was some information about Bill Ray's steel guitars.Brian, for a time after Sho-Bud went out of business, Bill Ray use to build new Sho-Bud steel guitars with original parts supplied from Gretch. Bill Ray is a very knowledgable man about the steel guitar, and in the many facets involved in building one. If you buy one of Bill's guitars, I can guarantee you that you'll be quite pleased with it. And Brian, Ol' Bill won't give hoot whether a guy is an English major, or totally illiterate, all you need be is human. Give Bill a call sometime, he'll tell you all you want to know about the Rayline guitars, and I think you'll find it to be a very pleasurable experience. |

Brian, maybe you ought to start another thread about Rayline -- and maybe call it something like "Really about Rayline" (or, if you dare, "Reely abowt Rayline").Best regards, Jack[This message was edited by Jack Anderson on 04 November 2004 at 05:26 AM.] |

Thanks Danny,Tom and Jack. Danny looking at the type (brands and quality) of guitars you sell, if you say Rayline are good steels thats all I need to hear.Tom thanks for the nice emails and info. Jack, I do not think I have the energy to start another thread with that spelling, I do think it would be funny though. But all the dictionaries I would get in the mail would start to pile up, God knows, I would'nt use them. I have sent payment to Bobbie Seymour in the begining of the week for a used Rayline( I believe it was Toms) I am going to use it as a practice model to leave in set up a studio.Thanks guys,Brian |

Tom, I sent payment on Monday 11-1-04 so I guess Mr. Seymour should get it soon, unless he has received already. It should be on its way in a bit. Thanks,Brian |

There is an old addage that says " A smart man knows how little he knows " Some of these, "CORREDTING " people only took up space in the courtesy and manners classes and were homesick on the days they were taught......I too have been corrected by some of the same people for caps. and spelling and gramatical errows.....But I do not get offended vecause I am almost blind and moreover I do not give A RATS PATOOT, what they think or say. Until they pay my mortgage and buy my groceries, the can go climb a tall pine tree...NAKED..This guy asked a good faith question and you DUMB A$$E$ just had to show your ignorance and correct him on a very minor misque....If you are as educated as you say you are you would have stayed with the topic in the first place..Now I would like more information on the Rayline, line of guitars, whats avaulable and price range, and what ammenities can be baught to enhance the guitar, what is the time frame for ordering one and ect: Duncan please give me a call, I am in the phone book or you can get my no from information. you seem to know more than the average person about this guitar.... Well I have saqid my piece and please forgive me if I have offended anyone..Lets all; PLAY STEEL FOR THE BEAUTIFULL ANGELIC SOUND........ And stop this bickering......

Hey Jennings,I will give a full report on the steel when I get it. I have pretty limited knowledge of what makes one all pull guitar different from another, But there are some real players that I hope will get together again at a studio I have, I will let those guys flip it over ans see what makes it tick. As soon as I get it I will give you my impressions of how it plays , the finish, pedal action...etc.....Thanks,Brian |

Brian , thanks for your reply. I really thank you for your courtesies... My reason for the questions is because I am trying to help a friend purchase his first steel. And like everyone else we are looking for quality 1st. price 2 nd. we have only bin looking for about a month.... I prefer the PP Emmons over the outher guitars, But that is only my opinion , and I knew BE from the 50's..And still hold him in the UTMOST RESPECT IN ALL AREAS....I do not have an ax to grind with anyone, but if they have the right to insult me, I will hold steadfast to the right to return the insult....10 fold.. Yes thanks for your willingness to convey your opinion on the guitar in discussion..... Thanks a lot....Jennings....WE PLAY STEEL FOR THE BEAUTIFULL ANGELIC SOUND OF IT........GOD BLESS.... ------------------

Hey Jennings. Sorry for not calling. I have been absolutely slammed at work, and when I get home the bass in the backyard are biting like champs. That's no excuse, but it is the truthful explanation. I responded to your post in the WTB section. Ad for the record as someone who has met Billy Ray and played a couple of his steels, bothe the guitar and the man behind the guitar are outstanding. If I didn't have a thing for Marlens and ZBs I'd buy one. Happy Birthday Billy Ray.

Hey, I consider myself a good speller with a good vocabulary. And I also know that the human brain is a very mysterious organ that can contain brilliant ideas and concepts, yet possess slightly flawed ways to communicate them. Or the brain may have an organic problem, like dyslexia or stroke (God forbid), that garbles things. I look beyond the grammar, the syntax, and the punctuation to get to the message.Genius... read "high intelligence"... expresses itself in often unconventional or non-intellectual ways. For example, if anyone's ever played a gig with James Burton, you'd know that though he doesn't have the intellectual knowledge of a trained jazz musician, his level of communication and appropriateness is at genius level. Think about this: We're really talking about two skills in this thread. Spelling/grammar is one, but TYPING is the other. Many folks never learned to type when in school or on the job; the lack of this skill is a stumbling block to communication on the Internet as well. However, that doesn't diminish... or shouldn't anyway... the impact of the message contained in the communication, or the intelligence of the writer. Spelling mistakes are small stuff, and I try to not sweat the small stuff. And I think my friend Winnie's brief flirtation with correction (he is an editor, after all ) got expanded from molehill status to that of mountain. Okay, now go to a neutral corner, everybody. ------------------
