ARTISTS & GIGS
Christer Fridhammar manages the best gig web site in
Sweden. His contributions
to the music life in Gothenburg can never be underestimated.
The Master of the Telecaster,
with whom I had the pleasure to play with in
2004 and 2006. Go
see him wherever he
happens to be playing, be it in Austin
or elsewhere. You will never look at the Telecaster the same way again!
Austin's master of the Sho-Bud pedal steel guitar. Ricky does wonders
with old pedal steels, musically as well as technically. Besides Lloyd
Green, Ricky is
the main inspiration for me playing the pedal steel
guitar.
Austin's super team: Redd Volkaert, Earle Pool Ball, Gary Claxton, Kevin Smith
and Tom Lewis. Enuff Said!
Jacob & the Jackals:
Jacob Steinwall is one of the best blues singers and guitar players in Sweden
right
now. Don't miss him and his band when they visit your town. Don't forget
to check out their latest CD.
DISCUSSION FORUMS
The
most excellent place to find information regarding all aspects of steel
guitars. Fully moderated by seasoned steel players which makes it a very
pleasant place to visit.
