I've heard: Eddie Bummens, (of course that was Danny Gatton,) Edmonds, Emmonds, Edmons.

(A friend of mine mailed me and said that he didn't think Buddy Ebsen even played steel guitar...)

Buddy Ebsen was the Man of TIN, but never the man of steel.
I wrote a song called PSG Draft 1 as a working title. I local friend saw it and said the local team Marseille ( mAr Say Y) is the Arch enemy of Paris St. Germain... I REALLY should condiser a new name for the song...

C6 is Doe sEss and E9 is Me noof.. go figure.
A PSG is guitar a gliss avec les pedals.[This message was edited by David L. Donald on 28 May 2003 at 02:51 PM.]

I used to pronounce Bruce Bouton's last name BOW-ton (as in bow and arrow) until I heard the first syllable properly pronounced like the bow in "take a bow". Also, I pronounced JayDee's last name MAN-ness until I heard it is actually MAY-ness.

CrowBear Schmitt · Post by **CrowBear Schmitt** » 31 May 2003 7:57 am

Bouton is French for Button
pronounced boot-on

Bill Llewellyn · Post by **Bill Llewellyn** » 31 May 2003 5:14 pm

Crowbear, is that boot-ON or BOOT-on?

CrowBear Schmitt · Post by **CrowBear Schmitt** » 1 Jun 2003 12:56 am

that's Boot like the one on yer left foot and On like the switch on yer amp.

Boot o(n out your nose and nearly silent) I suspect the n is dropped or just implied here.

There was a way cool car beginning of the last century (20th.. shudder) the Didion Bouton.
Still a few around and running.
