If you look at the cut back to Roy, he and the drummer and other guitarist all have smiles on their faces after hearing Curly's break. CC was a beast on steel.

Lol.... yeah chalked is older that's for sure. Lol (your getting too technical for me, haha) Yeah man, those MSA guitars are absolutely sweet!!!! Out of all the guitars made today, as far as sound MSA and Show Pro are the top of the food chain imho (I cant decide which I want to save for if I go only by tone).... Now if you look at the guitars as a whole, MSA hands down! Between the tone, the slightly curved knee levers. The L Frets, the pickup changing system..... just the all around beauty I go MSA EVERY DAY of the week and twice on Sunday. But when I hear Robbie Turner, Mike Johnson or Lloyd Green play a Show Pro..... wow! Of course those guys could play an old MSA sidekick with 1 lever and 2 pedals and they would sound better than me on my best day, Lol. But seriously, you sont thibk Gene Simmons and Chalker look alike? ;)

Perfect intonation, tone, attack, soul and feel. I have heard Mike play a push-pull Emmons with a Nashville 112, and get the best tone on Broadway. He can milk the tone outta any guitar he plays. And one hell of a funny guy also. His wife Teresa is a doll also. Just good down to earth people.

I am astounded by his amazing talent, inventiveness & uniqueness. One of the greatest steel players to have ever lived. This is from the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame: "CURLY CHALKER: AN INDIVIDUALIST WHO ADVANCED THE STEEL INTO POP AND JAZZ, CREATED HIS OWN COUNTRY SWING GENRE AND MAINTAINED HIS MUSICAL INTEGRITY DURING THE POPULARIZATION OF THE STEEL'S COMMERCIAL SOUND. A TECHNICIAN WHO INVENTED BAR "QUAKING" AND INTRODUCED VOLUME "GUTTING." HIS CASCADING CHORDS, DELIVERED WITH THE SPEED OF SINGLE STRING RIFFS, IDENTIFY HIS UNIQUE STYLE AS THE "CHALKER SOUND."
