Thank you all for the responces. I have my S10 P/P set up at home, but I can't bring myself to sit and play it. A few guys were interested in it but I'll seĺĺ it some time down the road. My apologie ...

Thank you Roger. I stopped playing a month or so ago. I've since realized I like my new-found flexibility a lot. I don't even look at my steels now.

Mike, I think we did get to meet and talk a bit. It was at the P.S.G.A show. You were going to be playing in N.J. but I couldn't make it.

I wish I could be there. Tell 'da boyz' hello for me. After living in Florida for about six years, I remembered why I left N.J. We went to N. Carolina in February and I can't take temps below 65° an ...

Thank you Chris. God does Bless me everyday.but our pastor is not a country music fan, so there isn't an opening for a steel guitar in the praise band. That's okay because I'm not a fan of 7-11 songs, ...

Thank you John and Darlene, for being a part of this crazy ride we've been on. Like my friend, Steve Wariner said; we don't get paid for playing music, we get paid for riding in a big, silver, diesel ...

Thanks Dale. I learned years ago to never say never, but at almost 79, I need more family time. If God gives me another few more semi-healthy years I'll hop back in a time or two. Be well my friend.

Mike, I left on good terms too and told them to call me if they need a fill in. I hope they don't, at least for a while.
Sam, other than the cancer meds, I was doing okay, but I couldn't carry my eq ...

A few weeks ago I left the band I was in to take a look at my situation. Over the last few years, I survived a few light cases of covid. I also had prostate cancer and some other restrictions on my ab ...

I have one but I'm going to need it for a while. It has three pedals and sìx knee levers.

'Gilroy' is coming to see me on the 19th. He wants to swap some licks and start doing a bit on C6th. Good guy and very talented.

I got legs for my D10 P/P from Ray in Dallas shortly after Duane passed. Both were good guys.

I'm very sorry to learn about this. May he and his family have Gods peace and comfort. So sorry Jean.

How many people could have ever noticed a similarity between those two songs? Possibly the writers of Rocky Top were low on funds.

It says that I sent a pm. I noticed other posts saying I sent pm. I think I may have been hacked. Don't respond to questionable messages from me. Sorry for any inconveniences.

I sent you a pm.

I want to replace all of the tuning pegs on my D10 P/P Emmons, I'm not sure where to get them. I need at least 10 for now for the E9th neck, ASAP. The ads I've seen usually don't have enough for even ...

Bruce, I got my split cases from Kevin Hatton.
I've had split cases for well over 10 years. As I got older, they feel heavier too. I went through some serious health issues and between radiation and ...

I sent a pm with Jerry's cell number.

Tony,I'm thinking about the same thing, but I don't play guitar anymore. I'm playing today at a neighbors Christmas party, but it's just three houses away. I'm taking the S10 P/P and the 1x12 amp. My ...

Alex, I remember a previous post about contacting Jerry. I've spoken to him and told him about it. He's extremely busy building six shooter steels so it might take him time to respond. He still around ...

Jack my '76 D10 P/P (9 & 7) got real heavy after health issues. I bought a '71 P/P S10 and the weight difference isn't worth reworking a classic. I'm not much of a C6th player, but it's more comfo ...

I always liked "what are the strings for?"

Tommy, I spoke to Jerry yesterday. He is living in Indy and staying busy building Six Shooter guitars. He' as okay as Jerry ever was and that covers a lot of things! (Haha) you know Jerry!
