Hey Speedy, Barbara and I want to wish you the happiest of birthdays. Maybe there is something to it when Mary says "you're not getting older, you're just getting better"  . Have a great day, a big "hug" to Mary for us and we'll see you both in Dallas.

Speedy -
You were one of the people who got me facinated with the steel guitar back way too long ago. Thanks for all the great music and have a truly Happy Birthday.

| Happy Birthday Speedy and many more!!! I remember the very first time I met you . 1954 at Cliffie Stone's Jamboree in California. I came there with Lefty and played the show and got to see you and Jimmy Bryant play together. It was so good !!!!!! I have never been the same. And since then we have become friends. Mitzi & I love you very much. |

Many Happy returns for you Speedy.Just a few of you guys like Jerry Byrd, Noel Boggs, Alvino Rey and Joaquin Murphy showed us how it is supposed to be done. Thanks for the many years of allowing us to have been so fortunate enough to have had this great opportunity. Your music, and friendship is greatly cherished and respected from this steel guitar wannabee player. You have such a big heart. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and the very best to you for your health and happiness.

Happy Birthday Speedy. You have been a hero of mine since I was 16 years old and new at the instrument. One of the highlights of my steel guitar playing times was the first time I played the Tulsa show and you sat on the front row right in front of me and smiled as I played and after the set you in a very sincere way told me "it was a great set". I have never forgotten the boost I got from that because I knew you really meant what you said. Coming from you that was as great a compliment as I have ever received for my playing efforts.
Your friend always,
Jerry Roller |
