A BYRD HAS FLOWN In Remberance Jerry Byrd

Post by Roy Thomson »

It will be six years tomorrow since the passing of
the Master of Touch and Tone'

He was the man that influenced my playing the most
throughout my early days of learning Steel Guitar
and he continues to do so.

This is the second of two original instrumentals
I composed to pay tribute to Jerry.Lets stop for
a moment to remember the Master who inspired so
many Steel Guitarists. RIP Jerry

I thank you all! :)
If the "Byrdman" had not inspired me I would not be
here. He was such a great player!
