The Steel Guitar Forum

Who's in the Amarillo/Canyon area?

Hi Dave , Larry Hamilton is in Amarillo. Great guy and a great player as well.
Hope you’re doing good. Merry Christmas!!!

I'll be playing in Amarillo on Dec. 30th. Not from the area though.

Carmen Acciaioli plays with Agave Posse Band and others as well. Multi-instrumental player and a nice guy.

Does any one know if Dwight Cook of Amarillo is still with us? Haven"t heard from him in a long time Also Jerry Riley who lived in Amarilo and was from Quanah.Tx. Last time i talked to Dwight he told me Jerry was in poor health. Would appreciate any info on either. Tracy

Wally Moyers?? I am not from their but he is a local picker. Also a forum member. J.R.

The great Wally Moyers is from Lubbock.

Thanks Ron, good to hear from you!

I too have been wondering about Dwight Cook Haven't heard anything from him in quite some time. Anybody have an update on Dwight.

Dave- I'm of no help regarding steel players around Amarillo? I played a few months back in Pampa, with Greg Gibbs and Dwight Cook was our bass man. Great guy and musician. He told me was not playing steel, due to a thumb problem. He seemed to be doing pretty good other than that. I don't have his contact, but I bet he would have knowledge of players in the Amarillo area.

Dwight has been le a Father to me; as he has been for a lot of us. It's good to see folks asking about him. He doesn't play steel anymore, but still plays a mean bass. Larry Hamilton is a great player and a great guy to talk with, if your lucky to catch out playing.

Guys, I talked to Dwight a couple of months ago and he was doing great at the time!!! Dwight is a good guy and a good friend!!!
