The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi Mike. Yes I am Lou Giroux's wife & it was Ron Dann that introduced us. Small world. In fact when I first heard Lou I was ready to hang in the towel. Another great Canadian talent. Just ask Jerry Fessenden.

Enjoyed your post Bill. Brought back some wonderful memories when I used to watch the most enjoyable CBC show with Ron,Lenny & Jim. I think Ray St. Germaine was the host. I too heard the Ron Haldorson radio show where he played Coltrane stuff. Wow Ron is such a talent on whatever he plays. I met...

Loved the pic of Neil. We have been friends for over 50 yrs.and he was the reason I took up this glorious instrument. I heard him once and was hooked instantly. Within a few weeks I had my very own pedal steel and went to listen to him almost every weekend amazed at what a talented & soulful pla...

WOW!That was incredibly awesome and such a treat. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hey Buddy, it's not only brilliant it's genious to come up with this stuff. Humility is good but we brag about you all the time.

Anyone see Paul Franklin & Vince Gill on the View today? It was wonderful to see the steel & Paul showcased up front and personal. Way to go camera man or woman. Great stuff!

Love all the posts and also thoughtit was a great show. Was so excited to see Buddy again and hear his stories. I also took pics of him on the monitor.Wish I could have been there in person though! Anyway it was a truly great treat and not enough adjectives to describe the enjoyment Buddy has given ...

Thanks so much for posting an absolutely enjoyable interview with Paul. He is such an enormous talent and great person. Sorry I didn't get to see him in Maine.
Anne

Wishing you all the very best on your birthday Buddy. We miss and love you alot. Sincere thanks for all the beautiful music you have blessed us with.

A great article about Randle Currie. I loved his playing the very first time I heard him but had no idea who he was until he started getting more exposure. I sure wish him continued success. Thanks so much for posting.

Most everything Emmons plays is classic, Next to Jennifer by Day, Look at Us by Hughey, Neil Flanz's Danny Boy. Sweet Memories by Adair Torres. There are so many by all the great steel players that have teared me up, it is impossible just to name a few.

The picture of Buddy's Sho-Bud with the gold pick-ups was the one I bought from Ron Lashley in the 60's. It sure was a beautiful and great sounding guitar. When speaking with Buddy at one of the conventions in St. Louis, he wondered what happened to the gold pick-ups and I told him I was the one who...

I was fortunate to attend a jam session in Nashville with Curly Chalker years ago and was overwhelmed with his talent on both C6th & E9th. In fact when I bought my Fender 1000 (now I'm dating myself) it had the Curly Chalker copedent on the 6th, but being a beginner I wasn't familiar with that t...

Really enjoyed the interview. Thanks so much for posting. I guess I am one of the lucky ones who met Buddy,heard him play many times and in fact he accepted an invitation to come to my home and meet all his avid admirers while in town with Ray Price. I was the Canadian Representative of his fan club...

Charlie Hunter - Check out guitar. Thought you might enjoy.

Thanks for posting. This is fabulous. Love it, love it, love it.

Thanks Peter that may be it, but I was under the impression there was a more recent one. Perhaps not. Thanks so much.

Can anyone tell me if there is a recent tribute to George Jones music CD with Buddy Emmons on 10 numbers and if so what the proper title is so I can order it. Thanks
