Had the pleasure of catching Ken Mellons in concert in Leroy, IL tonight. Ken and the whole band put on one heck of a great country show. I didn't catch the steel players name, but I know Ken called him Dapper Dan and he played an Emmons. He was great! As a matter of fact, the whole band sounded great. I have always loved Ken Mellons! He's REAL country, which is hard to come by these days. Anyone know the steel player's full name?

He is my very own Danny Bentley, manager of "Steel Guitar Nashville". A good player and excellent worker delevering steel guitar products to you all,, the rest of the week.
Incredible employee of mine AND of Ken Mellons. (sound proud? I am, Danny is the best!)

Thanks for that, Bobbe. I knew Ken Mellons wasn't all that bad - he was wearing a black Sho-Bud T-shirt! Lucky you for having such a great employee - lucky him for having such a great place to work! Danny and the band sounded great.

Guess who sold him the Sho-Bud shirt!

(He bought three!)

I have to agree with my KY buddy Rick, who like Dan is a super fine player and person also.

Hang in there Dan!!

Thanks, to everyone for the kind words.
I wish all the towns we played in were as nice as the folks in Leroy.

Danny has been good to me every time I've come to SGN...steel guitar repair 101 lesson every time my Bud comes through there. Maybe I'll see you guys on Thursday.
