Hey Bobbe Sawmour!

My family and I have been praying for your speedy recovery. I am so glad your on the mend and in good spirits.

I'll be playing poorly with the bar wired to my cast or bandages in two months, I'm not cancelling my show in Louisville, come up and laugh at me, I'll by chuckling my self!

VELCRO!! Try Velcro instead of wire.

Your poor playing is better than any of our good playing on our BEST day!
We won't be laughing at you - We'll be laughing with you.

Your great friend,
Benton

Bobbe,

You have such a fantastic "survive-and-thrive" attitude, no wonder you've been successful in so many things. I love what you told the nurses, the look on their faces must have been priceless!
I can just see your next CD, titled "Bar None", all done on open strings with right hand, pedals and levers. "Wild Mountain Thyme" sounds pretty good in open "E", and you could probably knock us out with all the possibilities you'd come up with. It's a silly idea perhaps, but it might be fun to think about while you recover.

Hey Bobbe Sawmour!

Naw, if we're gonna seemour of seymour, he don't need to sawmour!

Hey, Bobbe, we love you man!

Bobbe, I am so glad that you are on the mend. Zoranda and I will continue to keep you in prayer until you are completely recovered. It is truely our best anniversary gift to hear you are doing better. Again, allow me to offer any help I may be to you. Trust me, it will be absolutely no imposition what so ever to babysit 1,2,3 or all of your guitars. I will make room for them and treat them just like they were my own!!!! And there will be no rush to get them back home. They are welcome here for...well, forever. NO NEED TO THANK ME!!! I know you would do the same for me!!!
You take care and get well. We love ya just like you were a regular guy! God Bless Bobbe. Your friend Whippy Pooh.

Bobbe , Glad We Got To See You This Summer With ALL Of Your Fingers I'm Sure You'll Mend Fast, I Stuck My Left Hand In 2 Gears In A Lathe This Summer And Yanked It Out, Had A Major Divot For A Few Months But It Has All Grown Back With NO Stiches And Looks Great So If You Have Any Thing Left At All I'm Sure You'll Recover Very Nicely, Take Care Of It. Bobby And Kathy Jacks [/b]

Bobbe, I believe you are a "hang tough" kind of a guy, so do hang tough. Sorry for the bad break and wishing you the best from Olympicsville, Beijing, China. steve t

Bobbe, Just got back from vacation and saw the news on the forum. Shannon and I will keep you in our prayers and wish you a speedy and full recovery! You are steel guitar's best friend and we all love ya man! Jim

Bobbe, Linda and I send our best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

Bobbe, I'm glad to see you posting so soon. It warms the cockles of my jaded old heart, even tho I don't know you personally. I think most of us are horrified by such an accident happening to one of our own. This is a real community here, and the next time an argument flares up on the Forum, I'll come back to this thread for a reminder of what the Forum is all about.

Bobby,
You have always been my go to guy for advice with guitars and equipment. Your knowledge resulted in us doing a lot of business together over the years. I remember that Universal Emmons I traded you towards my first Mullen UNI. I have never seen another Emmons UNI since. It sounded great but played like a bus instead of a sports car like the Mullen. Over the years that has grown to friendship. Although we've never met in person I feel that when it does happen it will be like we've known each other in this way all along. Thanks for being a straight shooter all these years for all of us. We will always value your contributions to our passion for the Steel Guitar. Get better quickly Buddy!

Bobbe we are praying for a speedy recovery. Brand new steelers like me need you!! Get well soon!

Bobbe's latest E-newsletter has just come through today. Typically he is more bothered about the fact that he had not paid tribute before now to Don Helms, than the fact that he had suffered this appalling injury.

He is a gem of a man.

Glad you're on the road to recovery, Bobbe. I went into a cold sweat when I read what happened...

Bobbe,

All good wishes for a speedy recovery! Steel guitar needs you!

Kay

God Bless, Bobbe! Hope you are doing well.

Hope that gorilla glue is working Bobbe. Love ya man !!!

Power tools & musicians are a dangerous combination.

Sounds like you've got a lengthy road to recovery.

Best of luck!!!

Casey

Hi Bobbe,
I just wrote you a thread on the Pedal Steel section of the forum ...I don't read this section much .....I'm so sorry for your situation .....My family is praying for your speedy recovery ....Sincerely, Jim

Very sorry to hear of your accident. I took my best friend to the hospital with his thumb in my pocket. They reattached the thumb and he had a complete recovery. The medical folks can do miracles with that type surgery. God can do the rest. Get well soon, looking forward to seeing you again soon. L.M.

The great thing about this thread is seeing the incredible friends that have shown their support, I sure do love you guys and I'm saying this in the most sincere way, love you all!

Bobbe

Whew! This thread is almost 2 years old! When I first saw it, I thought, "Oh, no. He did it again!"

Bobbe, praying for a quick recovery, Shorty

We love you Bobbe.

I do especially.

A lot of good things have happened in the two years since my little run in with the "rototiller".

I hope God has been as kind to you.

I know the best part has been to find how many friends I have.

Many of them right here on The Forum.

Sounds like you have been blessed in your adversity as well.
