ALL MINE

With profound respect and deep appreciation for all your contributions to Music in general, and the Steel Guitar in particular.
P.S. HOW ABOUT THEM DODGERS !

Thank you George and please read your pm mail.. thank you......I have sent many...No I cant compose this book by myself, it takes two to tango and two to compose.... thank you..George Keoki Lake wrote:Jody has been in touch with me very recently. Like any project of this magnitude, he is encountering a number of discouraging problems which I'll keep confidential. Suffice to say, I strongly feel Jody will, and can write this book himself. He was there when the whole FENDER story came down. We'll just have to be patient and keep reassuring him of our full support. It promises to be a great book once it becomes available ! We're with you Jody !!!!

The Last Fender Guitar
Baz nothing is new...Georege Lake is wrong and shouldn'tbe posting, When I start the thread Bobby Lee closes it, besides Sandy will work with me on the book I posted the True story of The Last Fender Guitar, if you feel up to it, post and says Jody I'd like to know the truth and only you know that.
I'll leave that up to you, it will help me
