Chuck Abend
I received a phone call this morning from David Abend that his father Chuck Abend passed away this morning Jan 3 2023 at the age of 93. Chuck played steel with numerous bands in the Kansas City area and enjoyed maintaining and enthusiastically rebuilding steel guitars. Chuck will be missed by all. RIP Chuck.

Sad news. I've known Chuck since the 80"s. He's taken my place and I've taken his place in bands.
I thought he had recovered from the medical episode he had this past summer.

His son David called me today too and we chatted. So many jam sessions he was a staple at. I have a video of him demoing his talk box at one of those:

Sad news, indeed. Chuck and I did some trading a few years back and I enjoyed our interaction.
My sympathy goes to all his family and friends.

I'm sorry to hear this sad news about Chuck Abend. I always enjoyed his posts and I thought it was cool that he enjoyed fixing up pedal steel guitars and selling them. They all looked like nice pedal steels and I noticed that most of them were loaded up with knee levers. My condolences go out to all of his family and friends.
