Crossroads in Nov.
Looking forward to it. I've enjoyed the others but
sure wonder...it's a guitar festival and I can think of
many a pickers that haven't made the show for whatever
reason.

Well, it must be someplace warm, because Chicago would probably be too cold. Anyway, I doubt if I really have an idea of what you really said there in the opening post.

If you don't know what the Crossroads Guitar Festival is... I'm at a loss for words. Sorry. Maybe this helps.

They showed the 2010 one on TV here a couple of years ago. Remember being very impressed with Robert Randolph, who I'd (sadly) never heard of until then.

I sure hadn't heard anybody play a steel like that before him.
I've enjoyed all of them and love jamming along.
I'm looking forward to hearing/seeing Landreth perform Congo Square...I had
a great time doing a little bit on a collab with Frank on that.

If you dig the Randolph sound.
Search out "Florida Sacred Steel" for some examples of the down home sound of Pentecostal Slide Guitar.
Yeah man.

I know what the Crossroads Guitar Festival is. They have utube videos up of it. But I think in Chicago or some other places it is in May, June or some date around close to that.

Then that leaves; The recording of the festival will be available this month on CD/DVD and I stated that there are guitarist that haven't been part of it that I'd like to hear/see which really means that I hope Eric Clapton and musicians keep this festival going...not only for the music but the cause.

Yeah man.
I prefer slide guitar on electric/dobro/acoustic but his ability is entertaining. I think Landreth and Trucks will be highlights of this one for me. ( them doing Congo Square together....wow, can't wait.) I'm also really looking forward to Earl Klugh perform "This Time"...it's a tune I use to play and had forgotten all about it until I saw the release ad.

I like old time, traditional, and country blues a bunch too.
When the Sacred Steel is mashed up with a house choir and a smoking rhythm section it is a whole that. seems greater than I could have imagined until I had stumbled onto a famiarity of it.

I understand but I really don't think the steel guitar playing that I enjoy is limited to "old time". When I think of Mike Daily ( with the Ace In The Hole Band) I imagine that his track record along with a player such as Paul Franklin are examples of playing that bridges any time barriers. Mike Daily without doubt has been a living example of utilizing classic steel techniques along with his own to continue "leading the pack" and has done so since 1975. Of course I don't think that is just my opinion based on the amazing success of the band. It's not only their playing of the instrument but their fantastic arranging for interplay with the electric leads, fiddles etc. These pro players consistantly present the finest performances in most every area of being a musician that I can think of. I really can't compare the playing style and sound of Randolph to players like those...they are playing different games.

I sure wish Buddy Emmons and Danny Gatton were still able to jam and interplay so I could have another listen.

Man I hear ya. Those musicians that seemed to be from another planet... we just shake our heads and wonder how. Ya know....I just realized that 99.9% of the time that same thing happens now when I read posts upstairs. I'm glad I can record now because I'm sure out of touch with "reality".....and perfectly fine with that:)

Jerry Douglas is a genius at this, complimenting just about any combination of instruments. So fortunate to have The Transatlantic Sessions over here and watch him doing his thing.

He sure is James.
I remember many years ago of a good friend that had the all night show on a rock FM station and
he, along with some others that I listened to, would make the effort to lead in and out of material
whether it be with the music or their commentary.
Attention to the little details such as the notes we don't play can sure have a big impact.
And now I don't even tune in to local FM to enjoy their looping mess. "Local" doesn't mean squat either now.
