 Neil recently relocated to Austin, Tx. and freelances with various groups in the area. He also gives one on one pedal steel lessons which includes teaching beginners. Gram Parsons fans might be interested in hearing Neil's version of  Hot Burrito #1 _which was recorded at Gram's Place  in Tampa, Florida with Mark Holland, which was released on the Northern Steel album, a project put together by steel guitarist - Bob Taillefeur of Oshawa, Ont., Canada and features eighteen of Canada's top steel players including Neil Flanz.

"STILL SAFE AT HOME"


 "STILL SAFE AT HOME" featuring THE PORCH PICKERS with NEIL FLANZ

 A new c.d. featuring the collaboration of  Mark Holland who owns and
operates Gram's Place, a B&B Recording Studio in Tampa Fl. named after the
legendary late Gram
Parsons and well known pedal steel guitarist Neil Flanz who toured and
recorded with Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels in 1973.
 The album also features their good friend Walt Leuzinger who helped to
produce and engineer much of the album as well as having composed three of
the album's original songs including the title song "Still safe at Home".

  Also featured is a young talented Canadian friend of Mark's named Julien
Robitaille whose vocal harmony and guitar work blend together beautifully
with Mark's raw, soulful vocals and are built around Neil Flanz's pedal
steel resulting in an album that's sure to please just about everyone whose
musical tastes lean toward raw, traditional roots Americana music.

 The variety of songs includes everything from the Rolling Stone's "Dead
Flowers" and "Wild Horses" to honkeytonk music including "Close up the
honkeytonks", Merle Haggard's "Everybody's had the blues", Elvis Costello's
"Stranger in the House", to several Gram Parsons songs including "Hot
Burritto #1" and even some songs by the Blue Yodeler Jimmie Rodgers. This
album is a must for everybody who enjoys real down to earth music!

ANNOUNCING THE REISSUE OF MY E 9th
INSTRUCTION COURSE
     It's my pleasure to announce the reissue of my instuction course for the E 9th chromatic tuning with the three standard floor pedals and two basic knee levers. This course when first released in 1970 was
one of the first instruction courses available at the time and many of today's recognized players started out using it.

ORDER NOW

While first released only on vinyl it has been remastered and now comes complete with a CD and tablature booklet. It contains a wide assortment of intros, endings, vamps, turnarounds and finger excercises that recaptures some of the early steel guitar stylings that were popular in the golden years when the steel was predominantly featured on almost every single country recording of the era. These are still very timely today and should be of interest to many players.

Price is $ U.S. 24.95 plus $ 3.00 S&H (United States and Canada)
S&H to other countries varies.
