The Steel Guitar Forum

Wasn't sure if anyone had heard yet but, just in case you haven't, our beloved forum brother Herb Steiner was injured in a car accident last night. I don't know too many details but he did suffer a broken nose and a badly broken right foot that might put him out of gig and possibly fishing commission for several months. I'm sure the man will fill us all in on the rest when he feels up to it. In the meantime, please keep our pal in your good thoughts.....

Hate to hear this. Get well soon Herb!

Oh man, broken foot, bad.....broken nose, who's going to know... I wish you a speedy recovery -- cheers -chas

I wish you a great recovery as well. Lord knows your instructions have helped me a great deal. God Bless

Herb
I am sorry to hear the awful news. Enough about you -- is your 240Z okay?

Visited Herb in the hospital this evening and his nose is broken ("they glued it together"), his foot is broken in several places and all in a cast, but his humor is incredibly intact -- and salty as ever. He indicated that he might be playing non-pedal steel for a while, but was, in fact, negotiating the purchase of an old Emmons from someone in Tennessee, from his hospital bed!

Shoot! Sorry to hear this. Get well soon, Herb! Do I see more non-pedal in your immediate future?:lol:

As someone who recently got a nasty injury in a car accident, I can say make sure they check out your neck, too. My damn neck still hurts me 5 months later, after the laceration on my head has already healed.

Herb...
Sorry to hear about your accident....we don't want anything bad to happen to our dear friend. Take care and if there is anything I can do, please call. (Do you need a nurse??) Hope to see you in Dallas in a month or so and happy healing!

Oh, no Herb! So sorry to hear this rotten news. I hope you'll heal quickly and get back on them pedals soon, pal. Thinkin' of you, friend.

Hi Herb,
Hope you heal quickly. Welcome to the Non-pedal Club, and looking forward to seeing you in Dallas.

Herb, I hope you're not in too much pain and recover quickly.

As bad as this was, let us all be grateful that it wasn't a lot worse. You're still alive, and didn't break your back and lose the use of your legs.

Right now you must be pretty unhappy, but you WILL recover. Just be patient.

So sorry to hear of the accident, Herb is my brother and a fine one at that.
See you in Texas, Herb and I will buy you a plate of brisket.

Herb! So sorry to hear about this... here's to ya & hope you mend quick.

Herb, sorry to read about your accident. Hope you heal well and quickly. Call if you need anything.

Hello Herb;
Sorry to hear of this terrible accident.
Hope you heal up real soon to good as new.
My best wishes to you.
Ron

Herb, I'm really sorry to hear this. Hope to see you in Dallas - there will be a long line of people ready to help you tote anything that needs toting and I will certainly be among them.

Sorry to hear about this Herb. Our prayers are with you.

I hate to hear of anyone having a bad accident. When it comes to a fellow steel player it just hurts me even more. Best wishes for a speed recovery Herb. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
