A dear friend!

Bill helped me in Dallas a few years ago. I tried to pay him but he refused. He has always been willing to lend a helping hand.

One thing should be noted that he has been instrumental in helping young players get started. Hats off to a great human!!

A great man gone too soon. My first introduction to Steel Guitar was listening to the band play at Scotty’s. Scotty always mentioned Roy and he seemed bigger than life on those shows and records. Because He Was! After getting to know Roy and Barbara, it was great to see them as family. Roy’s service...

There were rumors that someone in Nashville made copies that looked like an ANNIVERSARY EDITION but the cast pedals were the determining factor as a genuine guitar made at the Emmons Factory in Burlington NC. Jack Strayhorn made all of them if my memory is right (Which is weak at the moment) If Jack...

If I am not mistaken, there were only 5 of these guitars made. 4 Black and One Rosewood and all were Strayhorn Era Guitars.
Nice Guitar!

Got a report on Lloyd and he's back home recovering after major heart surgery. He will be down for a while recovering until he gets his strength back. He's TROOPER!! Give him some time and he will be back to normal. He needs rest though like anyone who has gone through this kind of MAJOR surgery. If...

Bernie Sanders shows up for lessons at Lloyd's house. Here the photo shows Lloyd explaining the advantage of playing flatted 5ths and bar slants. Also, he tells Bernie about his workout regime........tells Bernie it will help with circulation and to stay warm. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix...

Paul who? Oh, He's been out Line Dancing with Lloyd.

That cat gets around !

Any truth to Lloyd Green taking line dancing lessons at the VFW? Asking for a friend......

Jerry and I talked about Clemson and Arkansas football a lot. Danny Ford, who is my neighbor, coached at Clemson and Arkansas. Jerry and I talked about Danny A lot.

The Steel guitar Forum lost a good guy! He will be sorely missed.

RIP Jerry Roller....

I'm sorry to hear this news of Tommy's passing. I share numerous funny times with Tommy since the 1980s that kept both of us in "Stitches". The times we shared At Doug's café and at his home in Georgia are unforgettable. This has surely left a void in a lot of peoples lives, especially th...

That is Rroyd McGreen. She has been "In the Witness Protection" program. While in isolation, she has been taking lessons from an Un-Named Source. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/3290_Russ_Hicks_1.jpg . The Dog Belongs to me and her name is "Dixie". I got her after ...

I thought it was...lol.

A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only one." The man thought for a minute and said, "...

Regretfully, I was informed that Billy Childress passed away today.

Lover of Lloyd Green and other steel guitar heroes.

RIP Billy.
