apparently "Isn't She Lovely" was a sleeper tune for those
guys.... Rob thanked someone from the stage at IBMA for "calling this
beautiful
song to our attention."

been using them for the last 3 years... they do just fine..
and even finer if you change them more
often and at that price, there ain't no excuse.. and
speaking of changing strings I saw someone
at Wintergrass (don't remember who it was now that I think
about it.. I'll have to ask Howard if it
was Chet ) anyway, whoever it was wound the string on the
tuning pegs of the reso first.. i.e.,
put about 2 turns on the tuning peg then fitted the ball end
in the whole in the tailpiece as the second
step..and then wound the string up to pitch. I've never seen
that one before.. seemed to work okay and
was a lot faster than the way I do it. Anybody out there do
that?
