Tommy, that was a great picture book! I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading the history of your Emmons progression! Your friend in steel guitar, Roy Peterman

Hope all is well with you and yours. I am still kicking but not very hi. Am down to a single double Lashley III 4 & 5
Hated to sell my last D 10 1970 Emmons PP 8 & 5 but the weight was the main factor The Cramers and Rehrig are still picking Crazy Elmer passed last year at 86 and after me starting the Outlws in 1963 finally packed it I will be 87 April 9 and am able to play aboutv a 1 hr set main factor is my health but am still able to do about 80% Any way great to see your response God Bless You and Yours Gordy

Yeah Tommy. Time catches up with us…. Glad to hear you’re still picking some though. I have not been on a stage for about 5 years now., with Covid and all that crap… however I sit and pick most every day.. maybe later this year I’ll find some local boys to pick with. I also find myself ignoring the E9 neck since I’m only picking for myself. The C neck is really my favorite… I still have my 78 PP that we put the extra knees on, and a LeGrand II. Take care my friend….
