The Steel Guitar Forum

Thanks, everyone. It has been so nice to hear all of your thoughts and memories of Dad. It's amazing how far one life can reach.

Hello, Just wanted to let you all know that my dad joined my mom in Heaven last night. He had been in poor health for quite a while. The greatest blessing is that he did not suffer and his passing was very peaceful. Dad was 72. Love, Donna http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/384_DSC00041_1.jpg

Try looking for me on facebook. You can send private messages through there. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've gotten e-mail from outside the US before, but I don't know enough about technology to even guess what the hold up would be.

They are good kids and a full time job!

Hey, guys! Thanks for checking on me. The site is still taking orders. You're right it has been awhile since it's been updated, but it is still working. I'm not on here much. In fact, my husband noticed this post, so I'm sorry if I missed something. The link on the site is to send an e-mail, but you...

We would have been there in '83. I would have only been 11 and played on the Thursday talent night. The girl in the picture looks like she has bigger hair than I did then, but I guess it's possible.

What year was that picture taken? The first year we were there was 1982.

Thanks! I'm glad the ones of you that have seen it like it. I'm getting that message too, but I don't know enough about it to know why. I e-mailed my friend that knows stuff about computers, and I'll let you know when it's fixed.

Hello, everyone!

I wanted to let you all know that I (finally!) updated my website. It has a new solo you can learn, songs added to the catalog, and even pictures of me playing steel in a wedding dress. You can see our new kiddo too. Hope you'll come take a look. It's at DonnaHammitt.com

Hey, guys! Well, it's nice to be remembered, and you all pretty much have your facts straight. I did go to nursing school and finished just in time to find out we were expecting our first (and only) baby. I always knew I didn't want to do a lot of traveling after I became a mom, so the nursing thing...

I don't know if anyone has posted this or if this is the right spot, but I thought you all might be interested...

And yes, I did just get married. His name is Kent Blanton. He was previously with Rhonda, but is now with Jesse McReynolds an...

Just wanted to let everyone know that my friend Eddie Stubbs will be doing a tribute to the late Bashful Brother Oswald this evening. As most of you know, Os was Roy Acuff's dobro player for many years. We have all been influenced at least indirectly by his playing. Many of the players we still lear...

Well, the rumor is that they are keeping a tally of the phone calls coming in, so keep calling! Apparently, it's not a sealed deal yet. The Tennessean ran an article today that made the best point of all. The marketing people don't know what they have or how to sell it. People are listening to WSM, ...

Hey folks!

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone! I have some information on the format changes for WSM-am that I thought you all might be interested in. It is true, although not officially announced, that they are planning on changing the format to ESPN all sports and paid ministries at night. This was reporte...

I'm not sure this is where this belongs, but I guess I'll just have to ask for forgiveness! I'll also post this in the music section as well. The changes at WSM-am are very serious, not just rumors, and very close to happening. I would really appreciate any of you that hate to see this happen join t...

You all are too nice!!!

Thanks for all the kind words and suggestions! I'll be adding to it frequently, I hope. I'm playing a Franklin D-10. I've played Franklin guitars for 18 years, and I believe they are the best built guitars out there. The Franklins are wonderful people to do business with and to call friends. Jeff, I...

I guess the address would help, huh!

Hey, just wanted to ask you guys to check my new web site. It's nothing fancy, but it's a start. Right now it just has some information about some instructional stuff I have available. Thanks!
