Hi Guys I don't know who wants to join in me with this but I just wanted to say thanks to all our American friends who are helping us Euros out on stuff we can't get,or ebay sellers who won't ship to Europe.The goodwill on this forum is one of the many things that keeps me here. Thanks especially to RonE, Zak,the guy that sent me a DeArmond 210 (now fixed) free-of-charge,people who have sent me picks to try out. This is a tough old world and we all need each other.I just wish there's more like you in this world.In the unlikely event that anyone needs anything from Europe,just shout. (Vintage wine is a bit difficult !!) Andy Martin www.andymartinblues.com

I echo these sentiments. I have met so many great folks through this forum and the Steel Guitar Forum . There is definitely a comraderie among those of us with tastes a little out of the ordinary. Steel guitarists seem to be particularly benevolent with their time and knowledge and the same for lovers of the great old instruments. IP: Logged |

Yes - big thanks from me too! If it wasn't for the Steel Guitar Forum and this forum, I would probably still sit with my fingerpicks the wrong way around, wondering what to do with the lap steel I bought on a whim in 2005!  The global slide guitar community is indeed one of generosity and sharing - I am very grateful to people here and on the SGF who have helped me with shipping from the USA, offering to fix broken eqipment for free, and sharing tons of knowledge for the benefit of everyone, and provided valuable comments and feedback on my music. Also, thanks to the top slide guitar professionals who are so generous with their time and vast knowledge, letting us young(er) players benefit from workshops and from them being patient, kind and down-to-earth people. Very different from the ego-fuelled mainstream music business. Fred IP: Logged |

You said it Fred, I'd like to pipe in with my 2cents ( 4p? ) and say that I feel a TransAtlantic Virtual Hug is in order! The willingness to spend the time to share experience & knowledge, and offer help so generously is really appreciated, & You Guys need to know this! A big "Cheers" to you all from across the pond!!!

I feel the same way as Andy, despite being in the FAR northern part of Europe, and not THAT far from Steinar! ;-) The knowledge combined here and the willingness to help out is really great. AND I have bought 3 vintage Nationals from Steve B. here without being worried about being ripped off... If one is on this forum I tend to think they are okay folks! Naive? MAYBE, but the world needs some trust! and as Andy infers, ZAK, you are the parlor guitar man!!! all the best IP: Logged |

Good Cuban cigars are always a nice way to say "thanks" to us Yanks... Not fishing for anything here but just to reiterate, if anyone overseas needs something shipped over and/or purchased here I'd be happy to help (I spend half my life at the Post Office already).
