The Steel Guitar Forum

My first time posting on "The Forum"! Thank you for your kind words about my dear "Dr. Bob", or "Doc", as many of you called him. Both Bob and I have special memories of our times at the steel shows. How he LOVED "pickin'& grinnin' with you. On Aug 13, 2021, Bo...

January 1959 Sent to Ft Monmouth as EW specialist. I was sent on a C123 to somewhere. Set up listening posts along west side south to Pleiku (small airstrip!!) The enemy didnt like me and we still called them "Charley". I was known as a "Spook". Recovered at Ft Ord. Yes, not wort...

Thanks friends, I've have some physical problems and don't get out to play often. Guys have asked me if I had some of my old videos that we can chuckle at. I'll try to dig some out. Walter I treasure the time with your generous parents and their hospitality. Thanks Walter! Best wishes for this Forum...

Remembering my friend Rob Parker and I miss him.

We enjoyed doing the Saluda Show many times. The band and players would meet at the Waffle House after the show and hear wild tales of the performers.

Hi Andrea, I've always enjoyed your Grampa's playing over many years. I've ordered the album. I am playing one of his old Pedalmaster guitars and have recorded with it. I'll send you some CDs to entertain PeeWee. Best wishes and prayers to you all.

I bought this little amp from the Cox Music Store in Seattle in 1953. It really sounds good after all these years in the closet. Mr Ken Fox checked it out and was impressed. He changed to a new "old power cord" and still has that old great sound. $1000.00 or it goes with me in the grave! B...

Dear Herb, Carol and I are so sorry for your loss. I remember so fondly that when we were in Austria, you would call Mel each night and express your love for your dear wife. A piece of your heart is aching. May God's grace and presence be near you now.
Sincerely, Bob and Carol Strum
