Buddy and Bobbe, Check it out!
I was talking with my friend Chris Templeton today and we got talking about the lack of stuff going and and I said we need to(In Chris's words to kick the dust up a bit) and the subject of Bobbe Seymour came up and Chris recalled a story of one of Bobbe's wives or girlfriends found a box of records and proceeded to cut them in half and sent to the Big E. Don't know the reason why but hopefully someone can fill in the blanks, anyway, here is what Chris wrote and the picture to accompany, hopefully everyone is fine and doing well, thought this might cheer everyone up a bit
One day when I was at Buddy & Peggy Emmons' house, in Hermitage, he wanted to show me something downstairs.
In the basement there was a box with a whole bunch of records that were sliced in half. Upon further inspection, I saw they were all either his solo records or ones he played on that someone took the blade to (no pun intended).
Having my camera, I asked him to step outside with the box for a picture. Here is the picture.
Please chime in about why you think they were cut and I will be in touch with Craig about the answer in two weeks.
Keep steelin'- Chris Templeton

I heard that it was Bobbe that sliced them up, not a wife or girlfriend.
I’m not sure of the beef they had between each other. I think it was about previously owned guitars.

I vaguely remember that incident. I also remember how silly and what a waste of resources I thought that was. I’m glad E laughed at it.

I recall a forum exchange in which a purchaser of a steel posted that he’d bought (I think) a red guitar( can’t remember the manufacturer) and stated that he’d purchased it from Bobbe and was told it was formerly owned by Buddy. Buddy (generally) posted that he had never owned the guitar. At that point Bobbe generated a long (“cyaâ€) post of how based upon blah, blah, blah, he was under the impression it could have been Buddy’s guitar and might have mistakenly represented it as such. Buddy’s reply was priceless!!
He simply responded, “Nice try Bobbe.â€
Maybe that’s what this one is all about. I wish I had time to search the forum and find the exchange because I’ve used the “Nice try†comment a few times over the years. Lol

I don't think E gave Bobbe Seymour much interest at all. He kinda floated above all the Seymour bullshit and looked down on it with amusement, if anything.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

A quote from Buddy Emmons' first post:
A little off topic. As a big fan of the Everlys it makes me wonder if Don also played steel?The only guitar I’ve ever played that had a black and red Formica finish now sits in the music room of Don Everly, and it’s an MCI, not an EMCI.
Fender Kingman, Sierra Crown D-10, Evans Amplifier, Soup Cube.

Here’s a true Buddy - Bobbe story.
Decades ago I was doing a week long course at Jeff Newman’s steel guitar school near Nashville. One day a few of us students went to Seymour’s shop where he happened to have a Fender D8 Stringmaster for sale for $400. We went back to the school and there was Buddy Emmons. He would often help Jeff out by teaching and playing a bit.
Anyway, we told him about the Stringmaster and he asked if any of us would be interested in going back and buying it for him. Sure! He gave us $400 and off we went. Only, right as we were leaving, he hesitated and said, “Umm,do me a favor. Dont mention my name to Bobbe when you buy it.â€
