The British Steelies Society

Graeme Jaye from Spain and Mike Ihde from Boston MA have just joined us, a big welcome guys it is great to see you here (you should have no login difficulties now Graeme) you can here some of Graeme's work here http://www.indiehitz.net/html/bands/19/music.php ..

To say Mike is an accomplished player would be the understatement of the year. http://www.mikeihde.com/mihde.htm

(I have taken the liberty of adding your website to your profile) click under Mike's username guys it is a must visit, check out the info and talent there guys! We are honoured to have you chaps on board! I hope some of the banter here will prove entertaining to you too!

A big welcome to both Graeme Jaye and Professor Mike Idhe (Berklee College instructor).
Both will most definitely be an asset here..

If you click HERE you'll find a mention in the faculty notes that says:-

Professor of Guitar Mike Idhe just released his second CD of lap steel guitar instrumentals containing 11 selections of classical, jazz, and pop tunes arranged with a tuning devised by former Berklee faculty member Bill Leavitt.

WELL worth getting

As for Graeme, I recommend that you listen to his compositions, excellent, AND he's also an accomplished recording engineer. Probably has the answers to the many audio questions posed here..

Graeme Jaye and Professor Mike Idhe

Welcome aboard guys....we need all the help we can get

welcome guys, graeme, i welcomed your few posts on the old site re; recording, thought, great here is someone i could learn some recording techniques and ask advice of, apart from Basil,[who has been very helpful] for my fledgling home studio, and was very annoyed when you were kicked off the old forum, thankfully, them problems are behind us now, also, i recall you were asking advice as you are new to PSG, loads of advice will be available to you on this forum, and Mike, good to have a top class pro player like you amongst us, i will be visiting Boston MA. sometime in september, for the first time, as im doing two gigs there, as well as some dates in Chicago, i dont have details yet, as i was only told provisionally last night to get my passport in order,
anyway, welcome aboard guys

Thanks for all the nice comments guys - it's nice to fell welcome. I just had to give up on the old site, never worked properly for me and I kept losing my registration, etc. so it's good to be back.

As STEDDIE EDDIE correctly recalls, I am new to psg and still very much finding my feet with the instrument, but it's early days. And yes, when I worked for a living, I was a recording engineer and I'm happy to try and answer any questions that may arise.

Incidentally, I will be going to the CISGF 2010 festival - http://www.chanos-isgf.org/steel%20guit ... 0home.html - so if anyone else is going, let me know, as it's probably one of the few occasions when we can meet 'face to face'.

Geoff Marshall , great to see you, where do you hail from??

A warm welcome from me to all our new members
