The Steel Guitar Forum

I lived phoenix about 15yrs ago and got the
pleasure of playin' with a guy who used to
play guitar, and lil steel with mighty merle
H. WOW what a player, does anyone know him
or heard from him lately? I was drinkin heavy in those days but wished i could have
of told him how much i enjoyed working with
him.

I know George and worked with him a few times. He was always playing a tele when I worked with him, and mighty good at it.
I haven't seen him in years.

Is he any relations to Buddy Edmonds?

No Bobbe,he is actually related to Don and Phil Edmonds,the Edmonds Bros.

I bought an MCI from George a few months back after a chance meeting in Casa Grande. I hadn't seen him in years.
A few weeks ago he drove down to Tucson and jammed on guitar with me on steel in a club . Fun evening!
There's going to be a steel guitar get-together in Globe on the 20th. George is slated to be there. If I see him I'll tell him you were asking for him. He's still quite active as a player and don't forget he plays fiddle too!

thank you john, big G. was kinda quite but
man was he tastefull on both guitar and steel'. I used to play up in globe with a
girl named kristy dee? last i knew she was
in laughlin NV. we played a supper club?
I used to sneek in the club, back in phon.
early in the day, and play georges steel,
but im sure he knew that.
thanks george.

George has been playing Tuesdays & Sundays at the Stardust in Phoenix for the last year or so. Our band plays there Wednesday-Saturday. On our nights off I sit in with George and get back to my roots. This is where George shines (being an ex-Haggard band member). The lead singer in his band sings 75% Hag tunes and sounds pretty close to Merle.
