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

[manny escobar]

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

[Chris Templeton]

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

[manny escobar]

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

[Gil James]

Thank you Manny! That made my day. That song hits close to home. My hats off to you.....great performance

[manny escobar]

Wow! All the way from Louisiana. Thank you Gil.

[Harry Teachman]

Looks like we have a new internet star !!!!

Good Job, Mister "E"

[manny escobar]

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.

[Craig Stock]

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?

[manny escobar]

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

[Craig Stock]

Just adjust the snaps on the back or get one of those stretch fit hatsbut seriously keep playing and recording, it doesn’t go unnoticed, my friend!

[manny escobar]

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]

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

[Craig Stock]

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

[Carl Mesrobian]

Manny - that was great!

[manny escobar]

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.

[Carl Mesrobian]

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