Last night the Country Music Awards Show had very little steel guitar. I hope this is not the end for steel guitars.

I don't think it's the end for steels, Manny; but yes, disappointing!

My unofficial observation is that there seems to be more new players these days. Prices of S 10s have gone up, at least.

See you Sunday Oct 13 for RISGA! Chris

Thanks joe. Besides the pedal steel, I`ve been obessed with so many construction projects that friends often ask, "What projects are you building now?"

Speaking of construction projects, Manny, have you fired off your home-made cannon lately?

Hi Chris, We fired it in 2022. I have a photo that made the local newspaper, but my dementia and lack of energy are keeping it on display in front of my house.

Hi Manny. Johnny P would be proud of the feel and realism you put into his song. At 72 myself I can relate to those lyrics. Great job my friend!

Manny was in great form at the Rhode Island Steel Guitar Jam yesterday, Sunday, July 20th. He gets some really great sound out of his own brand of Pedal Steel Guitar.

Here is an older video... Manny has just gotten better since then!

He also gets some great sound out of his home made canon!
