Dicky Overbey
Dicky's early steel teacher was Dick Gordon of Tulsa. Randy Beavers also came through the same teaching studio. Dick is still teaching in Tulsa in his late 80's. He is rightly proud of both of them.

Dickey has been a hero for a long time. First time to get hear him live,WOW is all I can say. Had a nice visit before before he played. He said he fell off a horse and thats why he was limping. His leg was hurting him--sure couldn't tell. The concert was awesome to say the least. Goes to show, you don't need a big set of drums, Mona Macall with a snare,a brush and one drumstick. They know how to make music.

Dicky is the ultimate heart and soul country music steel guitar player. He came into the Jackson room when I was playing and scared the crap out of me. There ain't too many guys make me nervous but he still does. He is the most humble guy in the world too. Thanks Dicky for your inspiration.

I have to 2nd everything Dave Diehl said about Dicky above...I feel exactly the same way!!Dave Diehl wrote:I call Dickey the modern day Jimmy Day. He pours so much soul into his playing. Perhaps now with his induction into the HOF he'll be recognized as he should. Congradulations Dickey!

We need to turn the TWANG up a little
It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.
They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.

When I'm sitting at my steel & want to play my favorite solo breaks--I always play the break from Johnny Bush's original hit "I'll Be There", which I believe is Dicky Overbey. That break, among others that were played by Dicky, were taught to me by Jimmy Powell. That period of time was about 1979-80 when I lived in Houston. I remember Jimmy telling me that he had played a lot of twin steel guitar gigs with Dicky & during that time is when Jimmy learned some licks from Dicky.
Jimmy was also a great steel player, as well as a real fine person. I remember that he played steel in the orchestra for the theatrical production "The Best Little Whore House In Texas" which was produced in Houston for quite a while back in the early 80's. Sadly, I found out here on the Forum that Jimmy had passed away some time ago. A real big loss!
