I just heard that "THE KID" just acquired a new guitar. Anyone know anything about this? The "KID" has gotten "Sneaky" on us. He can't let Tim B. get ahead of him. Can't wait to see his new axe.

A little bird told me that "THE KID" has a new BLACK Emmons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope the world is ready!!

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 15 Sep 2006 6:33 am

Gang members , please sign up for Russ's seminar as we can have an accurate count. Thanks, Bill

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 21 Sep 2006 6:08 am

All "GANG" members be on the "Look Out" for "THE KID". He and his new Black Emmons have disappeared. An APB is out on "THE KID". Any sightings should be posted here. I've heard he may be in Missouri or Texas. He might even be down in Mexico!!

Lana Rosselli · Post by **Lana Rosselli** » 21 Sep 2006 7:10 am

Bill - see what happens when you turn your head?

APB Reads: Look out for young male with black steel strapped on his back. Goes be 'The Kid'. Most likely hanging around clubs, steel guitar shows, and legendary musicians. Approach with CAUTION!! Weapon of choice - picks and bars.

Hope this helps!

Miss Lana

Hey folks,I'm sure the Kid's okay. He just stepped off a Fessy' onto an Emmons. I feel sure he is so caught up in the tone that he can't let go! Sign me up for the seminar on the 14th. Looking forward to a good time.
THE RUMOR IS : TYLER NOW HAS TONE!! HA!HA!
What do you say, Tyler?

Tim Bridges · Post by **Tim Bridges** » 22 Sep 2006 4:25 am

Well, "the Kid" called me last week while playing his "Black Emmons". I'll tell you what, he definitely has tone. He sounded better over the phone than I do playing in my dreams. Yep, I bet he sounds better than good at the jam!

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 27 Sep 2006 9:44 am

Tim, What's up with "THE KID". Is he practicing 24X7 on that new Black Emmons LL III? We all need to pray for Ted Crabtree and his family. He has been a great ambassador for our instrument in the State for many years. If you live in the area please pay a short visit as I am sure Ted and his family will appreciate it.

Tim Bridges · Post by **Tim Bridges** » 28 Sep 2006 3:13 am

Bill, I have my concerns as well. I also know for a fact, he has a new regular gig in the B'ham area. He's been real quiet. I also know for a fact, he's having a record number of KL's added to the Black LL III.

Tyler, are you out there anywhere?

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 28 Sep 2006 5:52 am

Do you mean that "THE KID" now has acquired a "KID CLUSTER" ???? YOU KNOW HIS TUNING IS UNORTHODOX TO BEGIN WITH. What is he going to do with all those Levers?? By the way, Where is "THE KID" ?? We have had no results on his APB. I heard that he was in Texas and then heard that he was sighted in Missouri!!! Where is The Boy?? May have to get our "FIRST LADY" Miss Laney on his trail. What do you think??

Tim Bridges · Post by **Tim Bridges** » 28 Sep 2006 7:58 am

Apparently he is staying under the radar for some reason. Maybe he has another gal in his sites...is she a Mullen, Zum, Sho Bud?

Yep, this is a job for Laney!!

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 28 Sep 2006 8:10 am

Tim,She just might be Miss Rains!!!!!!!! I agree. It is definitely time for our " First Lady" Miss Laney to step in and help us out. Miss Laney will bring him out of hiding!!My money is on her.

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 3 Oct 2006 11:08 am

Have given up on "THE KID". Anyone needing ride to Nashville this weekend contact me and I will coordinate. Bill

Bill Cook · Post by **Bill Cook** » 5 Oct 2006 4:49 am

I FOUND "THE KID" !!!!!!!!!. "THE KID" checked in last night via pay telephone, (collect of course). "THE KID" runs escourts for oversize loads and has been putting in miles. Has let his computer internet run out. Plays in the Bessemer area on weekends and does pick a Black Emmons LLG III. The "KID" played at Ted Crabtree's funeral yesterday. Said it was the highest honor he had ever recieved. So!! "THE KID" is still with us and will be at the OCT. 14 Jam in the Magic City.
