| I listened to Billy Cooper playing, "What A Way To Live", on Steel Radio. I really like Billy's style on pedal steel. He has a really interesting way of playing that I like. I need to get one of his CD's. I thought it was Dicky Overby for a moment. Billy has his own style, and in my opinion it is great. |

Billy and Wanda are truly great people. I've met them both. I believe they are genuine and honest as the day is long!
It'll be worth the trip to go see them and brouse their huge inventory and get to meet some really fine people.

Keith...you hit the nail on the head my friend. Billy is simply a great steel guitarist and has a style that is uniquely his own. He and Wanda work hard in their shop to provide excellant service and variety to all who venture their way or by way of their website. You can visit with them there too www.billycoopersmusic.com
I am honored to be able to call both Billy and Wanda our dearest friends. Their honor and integrity are without question. Do yourself a favor and meet them either by visiting them at their shop or on line. They own the best doggone steel guitar candy store anywhere

PS That's also where you can find Billy's CD's as well as Buddy Charleton...and I don't need to tell you about Buddy  |

| I have had the pleasure of listening to Billy play at their store in Orange, Va. and IMO the man is fantastic; what a musician and teacher. I am also a "long time", very happy customer of theirs. I have made numerous purchases from them (one guitar) and Billy has never disappointed me when he does work on either of them. They are, IMO, wonderful friends with integrity. Hey, sometimes I get to say hello to the great Buddy Charlton. |
