Congratulations Tom Bradshaw

Just wanted to congratulate Tom Bradshaw for his induction into the Hall Of Fame. This man has done so much for the steel guitar and certainly deserves such an honor. There are not too many people who are as trusting as Tom Bradshaw. I ordered products from his many times and he would send it without receiving the money first. Congratulations Tom on your induction into the Hall Of Fame.

I would also like to congratulate Tom and the recognition he deserves for his many years of promoting the steel.

Tom, when I first heard rumours of your induction, I started to worry about the speech. Would Scotty allot enough time? Do they keep a "hook" at the side of the stage?

In all seriousness, though, congratulations on this recognition for a lifetime of devotion to the art and culture of the steel guitar. The award was well deserved, and I'm proud to call you my friend.

And thanks for keeping it short.

bob said it all right here and I couldn't have said it better, longer yes, but what a nice tribute to a fine man who has paved the way for many of us.

In all seriousness, though, congratulations on this recognition for a lifetime of devotion to the art and culture of the steel guitar. The award was well deserved, and I'm proud to call you my friend.

AMEN

Warm congratulations from a former PSG Products customer and very satisfied subscriber to Steel Guitarist, and the Steel Guitar Record Club, all of which are treasured classics.

I still have a beautiful, sweet Webb614E you sold me in '78.

You deserve a lot of thanks, I'm very happy for you.
