I'm very sad to hear about Scotty's passing. In 2003, I went to the International Steel Guitar Convention for the first time and had the opportunity to meet him. He was a great friend, great steel player, and great musician. RIP Scotty, you will be missed

I met Scotty at the Gulfport, Mississippi, show last year. I found him both friendly and engaging. I wish I'd had the opportunity to get to know him sooner and better.

Sincere condolences to the family, and thanks for all you've done to promote this wonderful instrument.

Just learned after school today that Scotty passed on. I can't think of anyone who has done more for Steel Guitar Players the World over. I consider it an honor to have known him! A Friend for about 40 years. It saddens me to post here! Prayers for his Family! Rest in peace Friend!

I'm so very sorry to hear this Sandra. He did so much to bring us together, and I remember him being very nice to me on a personal level every time I encountered him. I am so glad that I had a few chances to meet and speak with him over the last few years. This is a very sad day.
