I was wondering if the Sho -bro that a bunch of us ponied up a hundred bucks apiece to buy Shot Jackson's Sho-bro is still being displayed at the CMHF.
I thought I had heard it was mothballed somewhere, is that true, or is it still on display. I have not had the chance to visit and was curious.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Craig, Shot Jackson's Sho-Bro is presently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame in an exhibit along with Tommy Jackson's fiddle, Joe Maphis'double-neck guitar, Henry Strzelecki's Fender Bass and Buddy Emmons' Sho-Bud steel. Brandon, when you were here in June, Shot's Dobro was part of a special display of historic instruments, offsite, on Nashville's Music Row.
On August 15th 2008, the Hall of Fame is opening a new exhibit: "Kitty Wells-Queen of Country Music. I have been fortunate to see this exhibit in production and Shot is well represented for the essential and instrumental role he played in the careers of Kitty & Johnny and Jack Anglin.
On this forum, we are always reading about steel players who restore and play Sho-Buds. Certainly these guitars must be some of the sharpest looking instruments ever built. Shot and all the people who made Sho-Bud great will always be with us. |

Robert, this is very welcome news to many of us who contributed to put it there. Thank you for that information. BTW, it was also to be displayed with a plaque that listed the names of all the contributors/donors. Can you confirm whether that plaque is also still on display with the instrument?
Thanks.

Thanks Robert, I have a list somewhere of all the contributors along with a picture of the Sho-bro and a bunch of all players including Buddy Emmons.
It's nice to know that our efforts are not in vain.
