Hey everybody it's time again for the Austin steel guitar jam,
We are going to start the New Year with a new format allowing everyone interested to play songs with the band individually in the first set.
Also in addition to the live band we will have Band in a Box available for those wanting to use more complex arrangements for their performance pieces.
Contact me for details on doing specific song arrangements and performances.
As the year progresses we will be having featured artists and lesson segments as permitted by the featured artists.
The round robin style jam will come at the last set.
Just to clarify what I am saying is that you can or should come with a song or two in mind to play with the band by yourself.
I would also like to mention that the equipment swap will be stepped up and promoted more this year involving not just Pedal Steel but other types of musical equipment.
The 3rd Sunday lesson will be discontinued until further notice.
Please support your local steel players and club in any capacity that you can
Thank You
Ken Metcalf

It is time once again for the The Austin Steel Guitar Co-op get-together, which falls on the 2nd Sunday of each month.
This month it happens to fall on Valentines Day.
What better way to treat yourself or your sweetheart than to enjoy the festivities of the Austin Steel Guitar Co-op Jam and Meet up.
In honor of Valentines Day we will be serving Beans and Cornbread, with Chili on the side for those who want to add a little gas to the fire or vice-versa.
In addition to the usual crowd this month we will feature Dave Biller on Bass and his friend Matt Puryear on drums, but I am sure we will mix it up as other folks jump in and move around.
Time and Location is 2:00 P.M. at the 290 West Dance Hall in Austin Texas as usual.

The Austin Steel Guitar Co-op meet up and jam was a good one, because we had Chicken and Dumplings, Corn Bread, Cherry Cobbler and other goodies in addition to the great steel guitar music every month.
We started with our friend Curtis Aford singing, Jessie Esquivel of The Emerson Biggins Band on drums,
Lee Crowell on Bass from the Wake Eastman Band.
My friend, Commander Dave Goodman from San Antonio played his Carter and tore up the Tennessee Waltz.
Very good players also chiming in were Roy Glaze, Dave Biller, Herb Steiner. Herb Steiner’s Website
Many new friends showed up and I am embarrassed as I forgot my camera and have a hard time remembering names.
A couple I recall….
A fellow named Randy Boyd is an outstanding Steel Player.
Andy Miller (Have Drums will Travel) did a nice job when he sat in on the drums for a set, he is available for gigs and can be found on the Local Musicians page under drummers of the Austin Steel Guitar Co-op website along with a bunch of other top quality musicians.
Bob Hoffnar of Tonealigner Pick-ups brought out a Clinesmith double neck.
New friend Eric Ebner of Tribo-Tone™ Bar Designs came out and introduced him self.
Tribo Tone Bars are made right here in Austin, Texas USA The Tribo Tone Bar Website
Anthony Locke brought an old D-10 Show-Bud, both he and it sounded fantastic.
It is a fair statement that a good time was had by all.
My apologys to those I may have not mentioned, but the good news is my new years resolution is to get at least Semi-Organized.
A Extra Big Thank You to J.D. Faron of the 290 West Dance Hall, Austin Texas
