Steel player on the opry

Who played steel behind Andy Giggs?

Chad Udeen and didn't he do great! Chad is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet and can play the fire out of a steel. Chad had an incredible tone tonight and just ripped his solo apart. The only question I have is about his guitar. I thought it looked like a Mullen with Mullen fretboards and red mica but I thought it had a Sho~Bud logo on the front of it. Was I cross-eyed or did I see correctly? Again, great job Chad!

Derick, my son told me he met you at the NAMM show yesterday. He's better looking than me but of course, I'm the smarter of the two!

Al, you have the right to be proud. Not only is Chad a great steel player, he is a nice, down to earth person that is fun to be around.

Al,
You should be proud of Chad!

I really enjoyed his steel work. Nice to look at too!

Andy has a good band. I bought Andy's first cd, love his new single. I'll add the second to my list to buy

I met Chad when he was here in Macon with Andy about a year and a half ago. As they were tuning up, he and the lead starting playing a fast number as if to loosen up. I couldn't believe what they were doing. It was HOT and really GOOD. When they were done I asked him what the song was ? He replied: Aww, just something Marty Stuart does !! Yeah, He's

alright !!!

Regards, Paul

I saw the Sho-Bud logo on his guitar too, what's up with that, a disagreement with Del?

Chad was really playing fine on the Opry last night. I was on my computer working with the TV on in the family room and when I heard Chad playing I quickly went and sat by the TV. Great tone! He should play that good as he had a great influence with his dad, Al Udeen, who is one fine player and person too! Hey Al...how are are you doing in Maple Grove, MN?

Sonny Simmons! What a treat it is to hear from you! thanks for the kind words about Chad & myself! Everything is good here in Maple Grove, & I'm still playing some weekends! I hope all is well with you & your family! Derek! Chad is on Andys new CD, which, I believe is called "Freedom" As far as the Logo on Chads guitar, My lips are sealed! Thanks to All! au
