Topical purpose: To gas up those "tiger tanks" of the steel guitar industry, with the hope of stimulating controversy and inquiry. A lesson well learned, would include a personal memory of resisting or disagreeing with a notion that was well thought out by the interested party. My experience has been that a persistent and patient enforcement of views, may be the first clue, that one may fail to establish an incontrovertible standpoint. There are many gold leaf lessons to be learned. Any semblance of controversy involving the 6th string enigma is showing signs of withering. Not to fear, a "new" concept that represents doing away with the "rocking" on and off of the A & B pedals is in the works. There is always any number of interests to turn to, whenever there is a decline in motivation to pursue legitimate inquiries.Edited to add the "in" to controvertible... Bill

It's discouraging to learn that the E9th Chromatic "Wild Side Of Life" and "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down" trendsetters, are fading into the mist. One of the most difficult lifestyle changes occurs, when the generation gap provokes musical preferences, by unwittingly introducing space-age music. I surmise that a trace of detuning matters not, amongst the thunderous roar of current entertainment standards. The steel guitar no longer exists as the key fill in concerts, as it once did in western swing; for example. The "Hanks", "Georges", "Buck", and "Mel" have been among those artists who have included steel guitar as a prominent fill instrument. It's a matter of preference. I'm thankful that my influences were fiddle and guitar, with a quick switch to the steel guitar. | |
