Beautiful song by Bobby Bowman

Post by Roy Ayres »

If you want to hear some masterfully done steel guitar on a beautiful old song, go to Charles Tilley's website and listen to Bobby Bowman's rendition of the old song "Last Letter." Absolutely beautiful chords and voicing.

Thanks, Bobby.

Bobby is a classy player regardless what he does.

His CD "Pure and Simple" is one of my favorites.

If you don't have it,you're missing some classy steel !

There is so much truth and beauty to Bobby's playing but I may be biased. I have to admit, I love him like a Dad. He's helped me so much, there's no amount of money that can match the education that I have received from him on being a better player and a better person.

Bobby is a JEWELL. I never cease to be amazed at his playing ability. He is one of the chosen few that the music starts from his heart, out through his hands onto the steel guitar. He has been an inspiration to me for years. Jody.

Roy-I have Bobby's CD pure and Simple and he gets such a nice tone, and touch on his playing. I got his backup tracks for it too, so I can play along with it. But I dont have the touch that he has....al.:)
