hi, Buster---
i met wayne when he was playing at the 300 club here in Enid, Okla. i had just got my first pedal steel and heard there was a player at that club so went to listen and look and eventually got acquainted with him... at that time he was living in Wichita, Kan---i think. he was a darn good player!!! he had a d-10 pp emmons at the time. last info i had was he had quit playing a long time ago and was working at a motel somewhere---but don't remember where---maybe in Missouri someplace. Jack

It's a small world Jack! That is the same club where Rick Sharp introduced me to him. The last time I saw Wayne was at a club we were working in Woodward: The Palimino. Wayne stopped in one day while we were rehearsing. It was around the time that Haggard released "Let's Chase Each Other Around The Room Tonight". I rememeber Wayne and I compared notes on the licks Norm Hamlett was playing on that song. That was the last time I saw or spoke to Wayne. I've thought about him from time to time and wondered what had ever become of him. Wayne was a good steel player.
