The Steel Guitar Forum

Hey all!, My name is Carlos... Carlos, you might like to see this video. It's a tribute video that a local TV program did after my Grandpa Henry died. Mack Owens plays what looks like that very same steel guitar in parts. First place I see it pop up is at about 4:50. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

I bought this magazine from the fifties a few weeks ago in the hopes that I might learn more about this band's history. It includes a few more names, but I don't think they're the other people in the KBOA picture unfortunately. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/20118_Screen_Shot_2021050...

Brandon: Here's your great grandfather on drums with Chuck Harding's band, early 1950s, when he operated as Henry Shropshire. I did see your entry for him at Findagrave.com. Pic possibly taken in Missouri. Can you identify the steel player? https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/939_Henry_S...

Wow. Those photos are great! Did they come with the guitar? Henry Sharpe was my great-grandfather. He's on the far left side of the group picture, followed by Mel Lawrence, Mack Owens, and Gene Moles. The band was called Henry Sharpe and the Sharpshooters.
