Nice playing and singing. That's a great take on the Paycheck song.

Hi Rick, Thank you. I enjoy your posts as well.

My favorite Paycheck tune. A nice slide and smile at the end, Manny. Singing while playing steel is very hard to do!

Chris, Thank you, Singing, sliding and smiling. I`ll have to keep doing it/as long as the band members let me.

Harry, thank you. I still remember the first time I saw you play at the Golden Dream in Tiverton, RI around 1960. Unbelievable, you must have come out of the womb playing.

Just listened to your song again tonight, so good.

Many people can sing but can't play steel guitar, many can play steel guitar but can't sing. You do both well. ( I can't do either but I love it!), but MANNY Can do both.

I've always wondered what kind of bar you play with? Is that an Esco-bar?

Thanks Craig, My hat doesn`t fit anymore because you`re giving me a big head.

Craig Stock · Post by **Craig Stock** » 17 Apr 2024 4:49 am

Just adjust the snaps on the back or get one of those stretch fit hats

but seriously keep playing and recording, it doesn’t go unnoticed, my friend!

I would to add and thank steel player young Nick Kroll who made it possible for this "Old Steel Guitar" recording from his studio in Portsmouth, R.I.

manny escobar · Post by **manny escobar** » 23 Jun 2024 2:58 pm

Wow! Over 1800 hits. I`m getting a big head.

Craig Stock · Post by **Craig Stock** » 24 Jun 2024 2:30 pm

Congrats Manny, I'm sure the check is in the mail

Manny - that was great!

Thanks Carl, The Rhode Island Steel Guitar Association is having its next quarterly meeting on Sunday, July 21, from 12-4:30, at the Tiverton, R.I. VFW, 134 Shove Street. Why don`t you come with your steel. We had 13 steels at the last meeting.

Manny, it would be nice to see you and all again. I'll mark the calendar.
