I just saw this guitar at close hand at the Seymour emporium. Man, it has so much provinence. In my personal opinion, Chalker never sounded better than when he was behind this guitar. He recorded some great things with the ShoBud, and it is in remarkable condition, allowing for the fact that it was Curly's road guitar for quite a while.

I've heard he actually played a Fender 2000 on the B.H.O.B.S. session???

According to Bobbe in this old post it was actually a Fender 1000....

What Bobbe is probably referring to in the photo is that the Sho~Bud he's leaning on is the one pictured on the album cover....

Hey, did anyone else notice the repeated inlay pattern of the Star of David? Is that a figment of my imagination or was Curly Jewish?

Great shots Russ.

Of course Curly was Jewish! Like many other country music greats, Jay Dee Maness-evitz, Lloyd Green-berg, Tommy White-fish, and who can ever forget Tammy Whine-ette.

Hey,
Who played steel on the classic " I Knew The Second Time She Said Shalom I Knew She Meant Goodbye"?

Hey Jim, maybe the guitar is kosher?

Enough with the cute jokes already. Does anyone actually know the answer to my question?

Roual Ranes · Post by **Roual Ranes** » 22 Apr 2009 5:39 am

Another question. What year did Curly get an MSA. I think it was early 70's.

Well, I can dish it out but I sure can't take it.

And you, Bro' Herb? Do you know anything about CC's background in this dimension?

Charles Curtis · Post by **Charles Curtis** » 22 Apr 2009 9:21 am

Charles, the LMAO means "Laugh my @$$ off" but I don't know what the rest of it means....JH in Va.

Charles
ROTFLMAO is the acronym for Rolling On The Floor Laughing My rear Off.

So, yeah, I do have the cojones

, pronounced like you spelled it.

Carry on, muchachos!

Herb, if you ever tour the east coast, near Wash, DC, please post it here on the Forum, I'd like to meet you in person, my friend.

Donny Hinson · Post by **Donny Hinson** » 24 Apr 2009 1:55 pm

The album cover steel has 11 pedals, but the one Bobbe has seems to have only 9? Did Curly remove them, or a later owner?

Brad Malone · Post by **Brad Malone** » 24 Apr 2009 7:52 pm

I met Curly in 1973 when he and MA did a show near Allentown, Pa... I asked him why he was playing an MSA instead of SB and he said the MSA was a better Steel and it recorded better. The crowd really loved the way Curly played, he was a real master and great showman. When Curly played everybody listened..what a wonderful musician.
