Thanks Herb. I had it close; Smith, Jones,? The Bowman name came from the deep recesses of my memory, but I was thinking it was Bobby who told me about Bob Wills pointing his bow at him?

Sam, I did learn that Bobby's surname is Smith and he got the name Bowman from playing with Bob Wills, where Wills would point his violin bow at Bobby for a solo. The name stuck.

Sam, I posted a video of Bobby Bowman playing his PP Emmons at our Southeast TX Steel Guitar Club jam. Check it out.

Here's a clip of Bobby Bowman and Jody Cameron jamming at the Southeast Tx Steel Guitar club meeting. That's me on rhythm guitar.

Thanks to all who replied. I taped the show and watched it again last night.

This was a great show with many performers and I wonder who was the steel player playing a S10 Infinity?

I got to know Bobby fairly well in that I live in Houston attending the Southwest Texas Steel Guitar jams and Bobby was a fixture there. And, during the time Herb Remington was "building" th ...

George, Thanks a million! Now let's see if I can execute this progression. As you said, "it's a little busy".

I love this song done by Alan Jackson. The lead guitar intro is phenomenal. I cannot figure out the chord progression. Anyone help me out?

Guitar Center has these speakers for $225.00.

You might get a taker on your offer, but you also might be better off selling your MSA and buying the guitar you want. Happy New Year

The Magnatone amps are still available. I saw them listed at Sweetwater Music and they are not at all cheap.

I recall some old videos of Willie's early Nashville days where he is playing a Baldwin guitar.

Back in the 60's I worked part time for a Houston music store, Bert Lynn Music. The store was a dealer for the new Baldwin guitars and amps. Interestingly the late Paul Buskirk, who co-wrote Night Lif ...

Back in April 2022 I did a post about the difference in the Blue Marvel vs the new Celestian speaker and Bill Ferguson answered with a test done for Peavey between the two amps. You might go back to t ...

So you might conclude that $2000 is not the going price. I recall that the late Bobby Bowman was a dealer for these guitars and he was very complimentary for them. I heard him play it, but then Bobby ...

Here is one listed on Reverb.

It helps to edit your Topic line when the items sell. Then you don't have to log in, read down, and discovery the items are already sold. Just type in SOLD.

I'd guess just north of $2000.00, similar to a Mullen Discovery. It is a professional grade guitar. Finish and color would be important. Pictures would help.

As I recall, Barney Kessel played one of these early in his career.

The Bullet Bar is sold, so how about the rest of the package for $40.00 shipped.

These bars alone cost me $45 each. The "Bullet bar" has a recessed end for thumb placement on bar slants. The Acri finger picks are about $12 a set of two.

These picks fit about an inch uo on the finger joint and they are very confortable. I bought them at Banjo Ben's General Store
