Bobbe IS one of the top 5 players in my view, and if you ever heard him pick live, particularly thumbstyle, I think you'd agree

What Larry said: I've had mine since 1978 and and it still works great. I use an A-440 tuning fork to calibrate the tuner maybe once a year and it still works terrific. I have also purchased a couple Korg CA-20's and love 'em. This WT10A is great tuner, I'll check to see if I still have the manual.

I believe the steeler was Mike Dailey

The brown stripe in the back shows the difference between front & back

But, Smiley always wears his underwear as "Outer Wear"

------------------

I'd have to agree with all the above, and two players come to mind who are superb; Smiley Roberts and Clyde Bloodworth. Smiley for keeping my interest in steel alive, and Clyde for getting me started.

Smiley: I agree, Jody is an excellent choice, as he tells it like it is. Needless to say after the previous posts, your tone, and sound blew a lot of socks down, even those who weren't wearing sox. http://steelguitarforum.com/biggrin.gif Professional 110%. Now...........when are you gonna' show me s...

Graham:

Thanks for all the terrific pages and your time in assembling them.

Donny; You might be right about the money players in Hendersonville, including my pal Smiley, BUT, we have some "Acceptable" players here in Hermitage too i.e. Buddy Emmons, Hal Rugg, Robby Turner, Johnny and Joan Cox

Hey Mike:

Jeez, please don't quit us, I'm still trying to redo a '68 Emmons and your thoughts and suggestions are invaluable. Guess the polishing needs to be done professionally, and the black paint on the pedals an enamel?

I think we have all of Bobbe's albums and Soulful Steel is my favorite, I've already worn out his "Live" album from Las Vegas.

Hi Jody:

If you'll send me your email addy I promise I won't upset you with emails, plus I miss when you post stuff on the Forum.

Peter: I run Windows Me on a Systemax computer with 750 Mgh. and 45 gb on the hard drive, and 128 meg. of RAM. It runs just OK. If you're buying a new machine, they probably have a deal to upgrade to Windoows XP which is the direction I would go. I can't really complain about Me, but then I still li...

Jody: as always, I enjoyed your comments above. Thank you

Jody: Please DON'T stop the stories, I get a real kick out of reading them, and the"insider" info you provide.I can't imagine why anyone would send you ornery emails. My pals Smiley and Bobbe Seymour are also fonts of knowledge about the steel. I particularly enjoy the stories about Fender...

I've never had any difficulty contacting Bobbe, or him responding knowledgeably and helpfully, but Emmons......now that's a whole 'nother story, the guitars are great, but the after sale service sucks. My wife made two inquiries to the Emmons Co. for a simple black T-Shirt (To match her black '68 D-...

Jody: I did see that service live, and have been in the Washington Cathedral several times when I lived in the Maryland suburbs. It was a very moving service and the female singer has an absolutely angelic voice.

Might be a clue to why Shot's Sho~Bro isn't on display along with other historical artifacts from the old Country Music Hall of Fame.

My wife ( a steel player) and myself attended the Superjam at Bell Cove when the Lloyd Green and Tommy White video was made and we purchased a copy from Teresa ( Tommy's wife) at one of the NTSGA meetings and it's priceless, and absolutely terrific with two of the great ones. Didn't seem to bother t...

Tommy:

Very nice pictures; thanks for posting them.
