Jim Eaton PEDAL STEEL & DOBRO 1983 TV Show

[jteeeeeton]

Big Hello to my namesake Jim Eaton. I don't have any musical talent ( I sing a bit in the shower!) but I do have a great love of country music and all it's many musical forms and styles. I like modern and old time bluegrass, Western swing,and all the usual suspects from Merle Haggard to Ernie Tubb, Waylon,etc etc I'm from the uk (Liverpool) I always liked Don Gibson's guitar playing and Hank Snow's. Amazed to find someone in this kind of stuff with same name as me! ...signed..Jim Eaton..lol!

It looks like a piano and guitar made babies. Like the reverse of a keytar.

Great playing! on both instruments. What do you think of the new Gibson OMI Dobros? I live in Australia, and this place is full of Dobros from the 30s and 40s. Do you think that the Dobro is a better "All round" guitar than a biscuit style resonator? My Dobro is an old one with a round neck-I wanted that for playing blues, but I can still use a Stevens bar on it. Happy playing. Stephen

I hit my mike with that triple neck guitar, you try to hold one of those up for the camera to see and not bash it into your mike!

Oh I'm sorry, but at least it sounded funny.

If I where you I should blame John Schneider haha yes he farted.

But cool that you on youtube and very good I think I can't play that instrument at all

[chrislpp]

And I thought 3 left foot pedals was a whole new universe....

I'm glad you enjoyed my playing. I am honored to be included in the group of players that were featured on the SoundBoard series of shows.

impossible instrument?

[Vanquard5150]

No not actually very nice to play.

And you can play it like a guitar too.

(I talk about the dobro now)

A pedal steelguitar you must always play with a slide and stuff

[mothercruncher]

Very sweet sound- this stuff is so far from what I OUGHT to like but I still find myself drawn to it.
