Never Say Never

A while back I gave up on steel guitar. It seemed as if I'd never find a band to play with (as if I was ever good enough to play with a band

) and time was tight. And every gig I got was to play flamenco guitar not steel guitar. So what seems like many months ago I sold my Sho Bud and decided to focus my time on six-string guitar. I kept my Stringmaster because there was a slight chance that a classic country/western swing trio I had been playing with might actually last. But that broke up, too. So I put my Stringmaster in its case and put it away in the closet.

Then today I'm in the local guitar store trying out a Tele through an early 70's Fender Vibrosonic and a couple of guys started talking to me. The conversation somehow turned to steel guitar and they told me they have a band but want to start playing their true love, country music, and they would love to have a steel guitar. There was certainly chemistry between us and they liked my attitude.

Well, you probably know the rest. I guess the bottom line is I'm coming back...[This message was edited by David Biagini on 27 April 2002 at 02:49 PM.][This message was edited by David Biagini on 27 April 2002 at 02:49 PM.][This message was edited by David Biagini on 27 April 2002 at 02:51 PM.]

You talked them into becoming a flamenco group?

David,

Cool! There's hope for steel in San Jose after all.
