Today the Big E would've turned 81.

I'm going to give his memory a minute of silence and then throw some Emmons into the player and... well, probably cry a bit.

I miss my friend and saddle pal, Buddy Emmons.

I remembered today was Buddys birthday. As a steel player, living in a world with out him is sure different. I remember seeing him for the first time in 1981 at the ISGC. I was like a kid in a candy store.

Some people were born to be Doctors -Truck Drivers - Welders -- Big E was born to be a STEEL PLAYER. He could say more with 50 notes in a song than a lot of people do with 500. I also miss him every day, what a gift he was. LONG LIVE THE KING. PH

Well said, Pat. Couldn't have said it better. We will never be able to repay the debt we owe him.

It was posted that Buddy passed on July 21st. Thats my birthday and a sad day every year for me as I think about the master and my idol. I am eternally grateful for his gifts to the world.
