Happy Belated Birthday to Lloyd Green

Post by Zena Kay »

Just wanted to wish Lloyd Green a belated birthday! He is the man that teaches us all that you don’t need fancy changes to explore new territory on our instrument :) your imagination is the limit! Hearing him play on Sweetheart of the Rodeo was what got me to catch the bug. I know that rings true for a lot of people here. There isn’t one person I can think of that we owe more gratitude to for bringing the steel to the fore in so many ways throughout history.

Zena, I think you're a good 35 years younger than me, and the same was true for me 35-45 years ago... Lloyd was a huge influence and still is a few generations later... Hope Mr. Green celebrates MANY more Happy Birthdays... Such a great gentleman and example to us all.
