There's some shots of me playing my Bigsby steel at http://www.sixstringeric.com/Pages/Shows.htm
scroll down to the bottom where it says'previous shows' and click on the 8/12 show at EJ's in Portland.There's some audio/video on there so you can hear too.

Hey Adam. Yes sir. That's easy on the eyes!

That wood reminds me a bit of Ricky Davis's SS Hawaiian.[This message was edited by Jon Light on 25 August 2000 at 03:04 PM.]

It does look a little like Ricky's S.S.,but mine's made of maple.Coincidently,Ricky's main Stringmaster pictured on his site used to belong to me.He's making much better use of it than I ever could.I have always been afraid to play out with the Bigsby,because I have been known to drink too much "soda pop" at gigs and lose things,but when my Dual Professional started having problems I began using the Bigsby.This is the first time I have ever seen pictures of it or heard a recording of it.It's hard to see all that flame when yer sittin' right behind it.I'm blown away by it all over again.

Great stuff, Adam! Really dig your sound and the vibe, too. This is the kind of outfit I'd like to put together here in Madison, only perhaps with more truckin' songs and slide blues thrown in the mix.

Congrats on a nice website and band.

Hi Adam:

I tried your photo link with my WebTV unit and they didn't work.

What's up?

Yes indeed my main Fender was Adam's triple stringmaster at one time and I thank Adam everyday for selling it to me. BTW; that is the non-pedal steel I played on Dale Watson's "People I've Know and Places I've Seen" CD>Killer guitar.
Adam that Bigsby does look great pal and I'm gunna go listen to it shortly.

Thanks for the kind words everybody!I have heard of people having trouble running the videos and pictures,I believe someone is working on this problem.It seems to run okay on every computer I've tried it on.
Al,you'll just have to come and hear it live!We've got two shows in OR at the end of September.One in Independence and one in Portland.Let me know if you would like to go and I would be happy to put your name on the list at the door.I'd like to extend this offer to all Forum members if anyone is interested.We will be playing with Dave Stuckey's Rhythm Gang featuring Jeremy Wakefield.It will be a rare two-Bigsby double bill!

Andy,
Sorry about the tour cancellation.I'll be looking out for you in the spring.It looks like our bands have a lot of common ground.I've seen Ike's band before and they were excellent.
I saw your website with the Bigsby and all that amazing equipment.Where'd you get all that cool stuff in Deutschland?Wie Geht's with that!?

Adam, I got all this stuff from the USA, in fact the Tweed Twin came from "The Stillmen", I suppose you know them.
Ike and the Capers are starting to perform again(mainly to pay their debts

) but he will remain a member of our band.
Started as a rockabilly outfit, we'll add more and more vintage 1950s country to our set.
See you in spring, at least I hope so!
Andy
