| So, in the last pict , it could be Braddy on the left? But, anyway it also looks like a well organized bench in the background ... I've seldom seen one ... JF |

I believe the top picture of David and I was taken in Anaheim California during a NAMM show in the middle to late 1970's. As many of you know, David has worked and been associated with MSA for many years. His personal contributions to MSA over the years has been enormous.
The middle picture of Chuck Wright was taken at the old MSA factory when Chuck was working with MSA. Chuck is an exceptional machinist and steel guitar builder who's contributions are permanently etched in the evolutionary history of steel guitar.
The bottom picture is of course Chuck in the middle, the great steel player Billy Braddy on the right, and my brother Jerry, who is barely seen on the right.
Thanks David for posting the pictures. |

David - Thanks for posting the photos. I just have to ask, though. What's that on top of your head? 
Reece - I remember talking to your brother on the telephone, many years ago. Did he ever play the steel guitar? |

Built me my first Pedal Steel around 1957 the big 4-necker. I relied on him to advise me on pedal set ups and other helpful hints. I really admired your Dad and wish him the best.
