I watched Dean with the Presleys last night and he sounded fantastic. They let him turn loose and really do some great picking.

Dean is one fine musician. The Presley Show is lucky to have him.

Guys, thank you so much, your nice comments, humble me and truly inspire me, to do my best, to keep steel guitar alive, and I pray that I can be a positive influence, to new generations of steel players. Thanks again!

My wife and I were out in Branson a couple weeks ago and got to see the Presley's show. Dean did a great job on steel guitar, banjo and dobro. Dean is a great musician and person.

If any of you get out to Branson be sure and see the Presley's. You won't be disappointed!

Dean, you're an inspiration for many of us,,, even we older players..!! The tone you get is the just great, be it the Ritt or the Mullen. From top to bottom, your tone, timbre and playing is wonderful. The great dobro and banjo work you do are an added bonus.

After millions of miles out on the road, I sure enjoy sitting home on Sat. night to watch you with The Presleys. As Joe said, they are lucky to have you. It is a great show and all you folks sound awesome together.

I hope you're well man and God Bless you.

Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" O.

Tiny, I wish I could meet you in person some day, so I can hug your neck. You have no idea how much it means to me to see your comments, and appreciate so much, your support. Coming from you, it is a great honor, as I am such a fan of yours. In fact, after 35 years of playing steel, I recently acquired a 1970 Emmons Push Pull. Even though Iâ€™m happy with the all pull guitars Iâ€™ve played all these years, I decided that I wanted that sound, the sound you had back in your days with Gene Watson, your tone and your playing, just didnâ€™t get any better. You are a big part of the reason, Iâ€™m where Iâ€™m at today. I appreciate you so much. Thank you!

Wow Dean,,, what you you said made my week..!! Very humbling and appreciated. Thank you brother.

Enjoy that 1970 Emmons. I know that baby will sound great beneath your hands. I rarely do gigs these days but my favorite horn when I do play out is my 1969 Rosewood Emmons D-10 through my Evans FET 500.

Hopefully, my wife and I will make a trip out to Branson someday soon and you and I will meet. I look forward to that very much..!!!

Again, thank you and God Bless you.
