...first, let me say that Bobbe gets my vote...but "why", you ask....objectively, what exactly has Bobbe brought to the table to put steel guitar on the map. Two things.
Cobra Coil Strings....
...and whatever this thing is...
...(I owe you a phone call, Bobbe)...

He has my vote! I met Bobbe a couple of times when he had "Steel Guitar World" just out side of Nashville back in the 80s, I left with a big impression of him, not only as a musician but as a person as well.
Keep up the good work Bobbe, you have more fans than you think.

| How can we help make it happen? Above, it was suggested that we start a letter-writing campaign. Any other ideas? |

Thanks, Joey.
It would take a book to answer the seven questions. How about if each question was answered by one person? Or if there are more than seven people, there could be groups for each question. Who knows the most about Bobbe's career (other than Paris Hilton)? If he's ever been nominated before, then a lot of the work is already done.

| Does anybody know how long a nomination statement usually is? Do they make available the nomination papers of previous HOFers? |

We have to convince a small board of directors, so one thing to do is figure out how to convince that handful of guys.
A discussion of the politics of the situation might be helpful in determining what to say and how to say it, but I don't think such a discussion should be done on a public forum like this one.
I would think we need to get one leader and preferably at least six followers. I'm a newbie, so I'm out, although I can help with the writing after you experts put the info together. Do we have any volunters here? Do you know of any people we should ask (besides Paris Hilton)? Has anybody here been involved in a HOF nomination before? Do we know anybody who has?

Bobbe meets all the criteria and then some.
He has world class chops, an incomparable body of recorded work spanning 50 some years, and more workshop and tutorial videos than everyone else combined. He has done a great deal to promote Steel Guitar, both pedal and non-pedal and he has significantly helped just about every steel guitarist on the planet at one time or other - yours truly included. He sells them, he restores them and he repairs them in the world's largest steel guitar store. He's every steeler's best friend.
Inductive reasoning - this year it should be Bobbe Seymour in the HOF! |

Bobbe, you belong in the Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame.  You have my vote!
I'm glad you come up to Gary's Gospel Steel Jubilee year before last. |

| As a strategy for getting the most info on Bobbe and putting it together without working one person to death, maybe we could set up a thread on this forum for people to state facts about Bobbe's career. We could have the thread arranged by the seven categories. You could contribute to one, some, or all. As the threads develop, forumites would read and be reminded of things they could contribute. |
