Bobby Black

Post by Walter Stettner »

One of the nicest persons one could meet, a true gentleman and one hell of a player - It was good to see and hear Bobby again. He didn't bring his own guitar but borrowed Carco Clave's ten string non-pedal guitar and sounded great on it, both in the Hawaiian Room and on the main stage. Thanks for the great music, Bobby!

This man may have more to do with me wanting to play pedal steel than anyone. I love his solo album from '05 and wish there was more! Makes me want to be in St. Louis in 2014, if he's there!

Bobby is truly one of the nicest people you can meet and is a terrific player. I'm proud to call him friend(and he even lets me sing with him from time to time). What an Honor!!

A dear friend of mine for 40 years. Wish he got a little more recognition. He is truly unique and one of the all time greats. Thanks for posting, Walter!

Well being inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame ain't too shabby in the recognition department...

One of the best parts of the 2013 convention for me was finally getting to meet Bobby Black in person.

As others stated he's a very nice person and one super steel player! I have admired his playing for 35 years.

Great job Bobby!

Your Friend,

Terry Wood
