Jody, Sorry I didn't get to you sooner but just got to check out your web site. What a great site and what a great life you have had,with lots more to come. I wish we could get together play a few tunes sometime. That would make my day. Loveya pal Bobby

Bobby, Thank you, and it was my pleasure and good fortune to have played along with you and the Hall Of Fame band, both back in 1988 and at the ISGHOF induction when you saved me as my guitar was out of tune. I will never ever forget that. Take care and maybe someday. I will once again get to Saint Louis to play along with the great musician that you are.

My Best to you as always

Jody. PS luv ya too guy.

Jody- I want to thank you for the complimentery vote for me in the SGHOF. But there are so many more deserving Steel Guitarists than I.

I have been on this Forum since 2001 and have posted long winded stories and have been praised by many and admonished by one. I want to take this one last opportunity to thank my dear friends on this Forum who have stood by me through the most difficult times of my life as well as the Happy one's.

George "Keoki"Lake, John Bechtel, Smiley Roberts, Joey Ace, Donna Dodd,etc etc.The Fender Book will be finalized soon and rest assured,the FRETS OF LIFE will be a focal point in our book.

And Finally as the Frets Of My Life close in on me at age 77 as I feel the hoof beats of that old outlaw TIME, I leave with the Lyric's penned by the great composer Paul Anka and recorded by my idol Francis Albert Sinatra. The Lyrics Say it all.

And I pray that the Light Of God Shine upon all of you. Goodbye

I DID IT MY WAY!!! *** and leave this one and do what you wish with the others. But at any rate, and be it as it may.

"I DID IT MY WAY"

Jody-Yes, you did it your way throughout your life, and that is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. And you have accomplished a lot in your life.

But it aint over till it's over and you have a lot of good years ahead of you to enjoy doing the rest of your dreams.

I wish that I was 77 again to be able to live that 8 years over again.LOL...keep the faith....al:):)[/u]

Al, since I feel it's rude not to reply to those who address me as you have, I will do the best that I can,however in my best interests I feel it is time for me to move on. Please keep in touch by email.

Your friend and fan

Jody

I am on my way to the hospital, and I want to add this final post for those of you who are and have been my friends. When the Book is ready to ship. I will post again but for that alone. My co writer...
whom you all know, will share these memories with me, he wishes me not to mention his name and I agree.



For what is a man- what has he got?
If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows- I took my blows
And did it my way!!!!

This website has been seen all over the world and will live on forever, My Thanks to Rick Alexander for doing this website for me and my loved one's both past and present, and to MaryAnne Miano for her contribution of my teacher and a wonderful human being, "Joe Monte" who I give my thanks to for his knowledge and heart to make my accomplishments come true.

I DID IT MY WAY and I'm certain that Marilyn would have wanted it this way.

Jody.

Thank you for a great web site. You have done for myself and made my loved one's proud, I will never forget how much this Forum has done for me, aggravation? yes at times, but most of all Happy to be reunited with my teachers granddaughter Joe Monte MaryAnn Miano and to those I have loved and lost and . To My high flying aircraft pilot Ron Brennan, thank you for being my friend and to all of you I wish you the best of health and happiness. I'm doing fine, all I need is a big bowl of MUSHROOM BARLEY Soup and I DID IT MY WAY.

I may not be posting as much as before, but I will from time to time, and when our book is finalized, I will announce that on this Forum. Thanks to all of you.

Jody edited for spelling.

Did you all hear the HCOA cd you got from Jody yet? It shure is a swingin record!! I got it in the mail the other day , and that's all i've been listening to!!!!!
Your missin out if you havent heard it.

Marty

Marty, thank you for your uplifting words,however much credit should be given to Johnny Cucci, and Augie Lamonte, and George Nida, it was those three who took me under their wings and really helped me through the Hot Club Of America. I was the weak link in the group. And thanks to Dave Van Allen and Mike Gross for getting me the incentive to put that cd on the market.

I miss them and would give anything to turn back the clock to be with them once again.

Be well my friend.

Jody

Edited Yes, and for good reason, I will be meeting with Donald D.Randall to discuss my repping a new line of amps and I will visit Don sometime in April. I will try to relocate on the West Coast Where the Greatest Steel Players are.

So this is my second edit so what!!!! There a a few who have commented that I post to see my name in lights. I have had my name in lights for years, every theatre on the Great White Way
has had my name over the door that said, "Mens Room"

Make the Third Edit, Good things come in three's.

Love is Lovlier The Second Time Around, however I first worked for Don with Fender and then With Randall amps and Now this.

I have fallen and I cant get up. but Rick has helped me so very much that I can't resist in telling him. THANK YOU BIG GUY!!

[quote="Jody Carver"]When our book is ready to be announced I will then post again.Those of you who wish to order the Hot Club Of America and The Arthur Godfrey show (in which the supply is limited to 15), can do so by ordering direct from Me.Diito on the book, "The Last Fender Guitar" ***

To My Buddy Rick, thank you for all you have done for me, its is people like yourself and Mike Gross and Dave Van Allen that have inspired me. I will be back, You can bet on that, one more time. Thank you Rick Alexander for the great website and all of you who have posted such nice comments. I really appreciate all of you.

Jody

I have said that I wouldn't post again unless it was something important, well, that is important to me. I have in the last week or so had email and phone calls from my buddy Rick Alexander trying to solve a problem with the server and people who take care of Rick's website. Many email were exchanged between Rick and these technicians who couldn't help and finally this morning, I received an emai from Rick telling me all has be resolved. If you go to this website of Rick's www.jodycarver.com and click on to photographs and scroll to the end you will see my late wife Marilyn and my friend whom I tried so hard to get back on this website, please welcome my buddy and good friend

ROCKABILLY BILL.

Thank you Rick for all you have done for myself and my family, Bill belongs with my family because he is just that to me. HOORAY

I don't mean to be rude, but the duplication of existing posts without additional, meaningful content simply bloats the Forum database, slowing down keyword searches and the like.

Computers are not infinite resources. We saw how the old Forum software collapsed under its own weight. I'm sure this system will survive for a long time, but I'd rather fill the search tables with new posts than add the old ones over and over.
