Yes. I think so.... (Really, anything would help!)

See a trend here?

Buddy Emmons
Buddy Franklin (OK, Paul... But it SHOULD have been Buddy!)

Buddy Merrill

Who am I missing?

Buddy Kelly? ðŸ˜‰ Close as I could get was my Uncle Buddy Williams and he was a Mandolin picker...oh well. One fellow steeler once asked what cologne was his idol using...you never know what thing/idea we could try to make us a really good/great steel picker other than whatâ€™s already known; talent/wood shedding or wood shedding and talent. ðŸ˜³

Would changing your name to â€œMachine Gunâ€ make you an outlaw?

Hey Carl - For me, it just seems to be wood-shedding! The only place I can find talent is from my latest effects purchase... the Talent Pedal, shown here...

Thanks Stu - I will add him to the list.

Hey Ross! We need to catch up... I am just so addicted to the S-10 you built for me. A day does not go by...

Fred, No, but it might make me a distant relative

I hear ya Dan...I was in a music store once when a fellow ask me if I was a â€œmusicianâ€? I said no but I am a Musical Equipment Owner...not sure if he got it but, oh well ðŸ™„. Great to see you at least have a box of talent...use it wisely! (Pun intended) Ha. Carl

I knew a beginner level guy who thought he was better than he is wear a derby hat just like Buddys' and even posed and smiled like him at a gig. Didn't help at all. He played all the riffs that Buddy taught on his E9 instructional material with no variation ever.

Having the initials B.E. doesn't mean squat.

I've been called Butthead. Does that count?

As long as you were playing a black guitar, yes.
