Billy M emailed me to say that you had put a nice comment on here about my stint in Dallas. I appreciate it very much and it was very kind of you to say such nice things. I was very grateful to Dave Beaty for loaning me his combo amp and volume pedal to use on stage at the show. I have to say that the new combo makes the Peavey Nashville 112 sound like a transistor radio. I know that it is many times the price, but nevertheless the comparison is a valid one. I never thought that my Webb would be out-Webb'd but by golly it has been.
I had so many guys complimenting me on my tone, that I had no other option but to believe them.
I would like to thank Ted Nesbitt, Mike Fereday, Paddy Long and particularly the 'whispering baritone' Ivor Greenwood for their company over the long weekend. Thanks guys, it was great.
Paddy and Bob from New Zealand bought spectacular Zumsteel D10's, which look like being the last ones that Bruce Zumsteg will be making. I have a new deep blue flamed maple body with mop inlays being made by Mark Giles for my Zum, and will pick it up at the 2015 Dallas Show.
I have fixed up to have some lessons on C6 with both Mike Sweeney and 'flying fingers' himself, Buck Reid. Buck is simply awesome on both necks, and just takes ones breath away when he plays. Even if he plays right in front of you, it is difficult to make out what he is doing.
Thanks again Malcolm, I am just off to downtown Nashville for a stroll around Broadway.
Apparently it was the 15th one built.
I can bring back the Steelmixer tab anytime you like Mark!
