The Steel Guitar Forum

Just wanted to wish Lloyd Green a belated birthday! He is the man that teaches us all that you don’t need fancy changes to explore new territory on our instrument your imagination is the limit! Hearing him play on Sweetheart of the Rodeo was what got me to catch the bug. I know that rings true for a lot of people here. There isn’t one person I can think of that we owe more gratitude to for bringing the steel to the fore in so many ways throughout history.

Zena, I think you're a good 35 years younger than me, and the same was true for me 35-45 years ago... Lloyd was a huge influence and still is a few generations later... Hope Mr. Green celebrates MANY more Happy Birthdays... Such a great gentleman and example to us all.
