Sure gonna miss you buddy! My thoughts and prayers go out the all the family and a host of good friends. This is a huge loss for many, including the steel guitar world.

This news breaks my heart. No one loved life more than Red. And he knew how to make the most of every day. I love you my friend, and I will miss you so much! There is a new Entertainer of the Year in heaven today.

Rest in peace my friend,
Lorraine

I never had the pleasure of meeting "The Moon", but I loved his talent and I know I would have loved the man as well. Rest in Peace Mr. Moon.

Larry,
I seen both you and Curt several years back with West Wind.

It was so nice to meet all of you and join in on the fun! It was an honor to sing among so many steel guitarists. There is nothing like the camaraderie I witness at steel guitar jams/conventions!

My best to each of you, and I hope to see you again soon!

Knowing him, he will probably stop by and say hello to all of you! And you are all welcome to come see us at the Opry! Check out the show information at:...

I first met Dugg in 2007 at a show in Kansas and was honored to share the same stage with him. We were friends from that day forward. I’ll always remember his kin...

This is such sad news. I talked to Rob on the phone many, many times - but never had the pleasure of meeting him face-to-face.

Happy Trails my friend. RIP.

Love ya, Lorraine

Mike, Thank you so much for adding my original song "The Greatest Hero" to your playlist this week! This song is a story about me and my Dad growing up on the ranch. The very gracious and talented Les Gilliam co-wrote the song with me. What an honor to be in such good company on Swingin' W...
