The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks to everybody for remembering which is something I can't do because as of June the 30th of last year, the day of the stroke, I have absolutely no memory prior to that time nor can I hear anyone but Dovie's voice because of the hearing aides being frequency sensitive but I love you all and wish...

Same as Don Hinson

Most of the old timers called Tom by his nickname, "The wolf". In his early years he studied in the music store where Reece Anderson was teaching and Reece can fill you in on the results. He was a total perfectionist and loved to share the spotlight with a couple of lead players of the Tim...

Perhaps Bill gave all the 'non-believers' a big clue when he said in his last post:

" It was many moons ago when someone became aware of the value of the common wheel."

He can play steel guitar, and why he continues with the 'word songs' I'll never know.

Super good time. Dovie and I had a blast. Got to meet one of my 'old podnuh's' Wally Moyers Sr's son, Wally Jr., his wife LaTronda and his two sons.(Better not say anything bad about the Texas Rangers ball club around these two gents :lol: ) They're real fans and two of the most well behaved kids I'...

Well liked to lost it all on Thursday last. I was in the Doctor's office to get some prescriptions filled when my left side just quit working. Dr. and staff went to work but to no avail. My old Indian Grandmother always told me when all else fails give Jesus a chance so out came " Our father wh...

Gene, a nice man came by and wanted it so bad that I just couldn't refuse him.

He's an old stray tomcat we named Lennie who wondered up to the airport one day and he just won everyone over so he got to stay. Everyone saw to it that he stayed well fed and in the pic he's weighing about 26 lbs. I'm holding him because he's just returned from the vet where 3 grown men tried to ne...

WOW! Thanks a lot you guys, but anyone who has been around a general aviation airport very much will tell you that 'propping' small airplanes is an everyday affair and really not a big deal. The big deal was finally getting Bobbe to come back to the Dallas shindig to play for us and receive his well...

Like Bobby Tuttle I've known Jody for a lot of years. Always has been a friend who would help anyone at anytime. We'll miss you brother, rip.\\\

Well you folks are well meaning but you're whistling in the wind if you believe 'petitions' or 'votes', other than the Board of the SGHOF will get b0b into this club. The only way b0b can be nominated to this austere position is through the SGHOF only. Someone has to submit a nomination letter, and ...

Jake, two days with Reece Anderson and you'll be astounded with the results. Stay the week and take a back seat to no one. Experience talking.

Michael thanks for the offer but I think I'm gonna' go with a Carson Wells undercarriage (complete). There's a lot of stamped steel under the original and I like the Wells make up. The msa has a nice cabinet made of hard rock maple with some signature in it. Thanks again for the offer, I've heard no...

nobody got anything but Dwight Lewis and he won't answer my emails. Thanks folks.
CLOSE IT OUT

It's worth looking at.

Wally, great to hear from you. WOW what old memories. I'll surely tell 'Trees' howdy. He comes to some of the WTSGA meets in Merkel, of which I haven't seen your carcass down there. One coming up in April. Trees is living in San Angelo just below me and has started playing a Universal tuning I belie...

Go here quick and look at Canada's New Website for Steel Guitar. Congrats to the folks who made it possible. A must for new folk: http://steelguitar.com/# Edited to add: New folks this is one of the vvery best sites and places to learn all about the psg even to how it works and to adjust it for you ...

I played a couple of dates with Bob S along with Big Wally Moyers in Amarillo in the 50's.Tommy Hancock always had a tremendous band, especially when the Moyers boys were there. If my memory serves me correctly, didn't Tommy marry a lady by the name of Charlene Condray. Bobby Rountrees and I were ju...

Deleted opinions are not acceptable in this quarter, a full apology is really in order.

Sir, it would be a good idea to pull the asbestos blanket down over you good and tight. As the title of this post indicates you have really put your foot in it. You could pick on anyone on this forum besides Seymour and probably be 'safe' for a bit, but Bobbe Seymour has assisted more steel players,...

Too bad someone, especially a new folk, hasn't picked this little axe up. It will perform circles around most starter guitars. It's one of the most flexible guitars available for the price with the triple raise double lower changer and the tuners are near bullet proof. I have one that I'm modifying ...

Hate to date myself Danny, but Wally looks just like 'Big Wally' his Dad when I played around the Lubbock and Amarillo areas. Both splendid musicians.

Lost another good one for sure. OUR condolences and prayers for the family.
