Steel guitar legend Billy Robinson opening the 2016 Rick Alexander Non-Pedal Room (RANP) Sessions for 2016. Billy is always happy to come up and give us a set or two, this year is no exception. Nobody has the kind of stories Billy can tell about his experiences with all the Nashville greats, and he does non-pedal steel guitar where you think there's pedals.... just amazing.
Other personnel on stage, from the left:
Mark Moseley guitar
Carco Clave guitar
Charlie Irwin bass
Ron Erwin snare
Ray Alan vocals
Billy is an accomplished artist of the wall-hanging kind as well, check out his work on his website.

If you've heard of Sho-Bud guitars ('Sho' for Shot Jackson, 'Bud' for Buddy Emmons) then you've seen his artwork since he designed the logo! Thanks again for playing for us Billy, hope to see you in Dallas again next year.
The Texas Steel Guitar Association's Rick Alexander Sessions are held in memory of Rick Alexander, who ran the non-pedal room at the annual TSGA Jamboree for many years. You can find Rick's performance and instructional video on YT under the rickalexander47 and 'Rick Alexander 1947-2009' channels. Gone but not forgotten, thanks for your contributions Rick.
