Playing "Blue Bayou"

Post by Marcel Parijs »

Hello,

Find a old clip from 10 years ago playing "Blue Bayou" on a birthday party somewhere In Holland.
I hope you like the steel sound a little.
Blue Bayou is one of my favourite steelguitar solo's in the past and is still is for me. :)

Marcel...I didn't like your steel sound a "little" I liked it "Alot" :D .... I rewound to see if it was a P/P ...but saw it was a Legrande 111...I love that solo too in the context of a band. Many years ago I used to love playing in Holland..very Courteous people there :)

Thanks Kenneth, Clyde and Micky.

Yes I was a little younger back then.It was some jamming on a birthday party. I remember that people plays some instruments and a girl who sings a little. So this was not a real band. They ask me to bring my steel that evening and it was fun to play.

And Micky, I always like to play on a good sounding Emmons. :wink:

Regards,

Marcel

Hello Kenneth,

I´m not so old, I´m from 68. haha... I grew up with my family at home and we have a Fender 400 Sunburst in the corner standing. My parents love that Hawaiian Music in that time. I´ll think when I was 16 years young, I try to play it but It was very difficult for me at that time. But I played Together Again on it. haha..

When I was 23 years my Dad give me the money to buy a new Emmons guitar wich it was a dream for me to own one. This clip was about ten years later Kenneth. Thank you for asking. Reminds me that time fly´s......

Regards,

Marcel.
