"Tone is in the hands. Unless your wife will let you buy a new amp. Then it's definitely in that amp."

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 :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

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

Thank You everyone for the kinds words and prayers.
Thank You JR Knight for informing all of our friends in the Steel Guitar World of our lose.
We lost our precious Meagan [May May] Rough late Wednesday night early Thursday Morning in a very violent automobile accident in Lubbuck,Texas. go to lubbockonline.com search Meagan Rough,if you wish.
I can't talk about it much yet. Drunk Drivers..
Anyway,She was offically pronounced Brain Dead on Friday around 4 pm on Friday afternoon.
We finally arrived in Lubbock around 6 pm on Friday-long drive.
There was a Memorial Service [telecast]earlier this evening in Lubbock. Search http://firstlubbock.org
May May's parents are still in Lubbock this evening.
May May has said in the past the she would donate her organs if anything bad happens. Well it did and she has. We know for a fact that she has helped at least 4 people live a long and healthy life. She was that kind of girl.
May's parents, Kevin and Kari Rough, are still in Lubbock, all the details of her services in Kaufman are not yet been finalized.As of right now the services will be held in Kaufman on Thursday.
Sorry, I will try to be much more specific as I find out myself.
My most sincere Thank You goes out to the Hospital Staff - Texas Tech Alumni and Theta Sorority and the Staff at the Overton Hotel for everything they have done for our family in our time of grief.
There is so much more to say,but it cannot be done at this time.
Thank You Paul and Dee
