Death of a friend and steel player

Wanda Cooper · Post by **Wanda Cooper** » 9 Aug 2006 12:25 pm

Hello to all you Forum members and readers. This is my first post and I am sorry it has to be on a sad occasion. Below is a link to the obituary of a lovely man who was passionate about the pedal steel and was beloved by many. Even if you did not know him, would you stop a minute and say a prayer for those he left behind? Thank you,

Wanda

Hi Wanda, it's about time you and Billy caught up with us in here.

I am very sorry to read about your friend. It is even tougher when that friend was a very close friend.
