Just like to most, Jeff has been a teacher to me too and I feel a great loss.
He was as great seminarist as a steel guitarist, musician and instructor but most of all, I will miss his sharp humor (and his ability to take it back too). I feel sad for "Fran" and for whom else he left so prematurely.

I too, am shocked. I think the thread a week or so about, "who learned to play from Jeff Newman" showed us how many of our lives he touched through his teachings. I bet more than half of us would not be playing today without him. I wouldn't. I never took lessons from him, or knew him personally, but today, I feel a huge loss in my heart.

I just found out via "Bobbe's Tips" E-mail. I am stunned and sad. We just lost a very important person to the steel guitar world. My condolences to his family...

I just can't believe this has happened. A huge loss to the community. Our prayers go out to the family at this time. Jeff really opened my eyes to a lot of things, musically.

I got the word from Clint Queen this morning and like all of us, thought a lot about Jeff today. Besides his world class playing, his excellent teaching and methods, his friendly and supportive personality, what I enjoyed most about Jeff was how funny he was. He couldn't write a straight essay if he had to. Clint pointed me to his web site, and of course it is hilarious in a twisted steel guitar kind of way. I think he was a renaissance man and we were lucky to have known him. My love to Fran and the family.

Deepest Sympathy to all of JEFF'S Family and Friends-I myself got the shocking news from my friend the Herbster just hours after the tragedy-While I did not know Jeff as well as many of you-We got more acquainted during Scotty's show last year while I was helping out with the folks at Peterson Stobe Tuners-Jeff was a vocal endorser of the Peterson V-SAM and VS-2 strobes-which incorporate temperaments in pedal steel guitar tuning theory much of which Mr.Newman was the brainchild He not only taught how to play the steel-but how to tune it! Makes sense-don't it It was my sad duty to inform the folks at Peterson today of Jeff's passing-John and Sue were shocked and saddened as was I-May He rest in peace and the perpetual light shine upon Him http://www.petersontuners.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=423 <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by PAUL WARNIK on 08 April 2004 at 07:37 PM.]</p></FONT>
