Mr. Franklin,

Thanks for all you've done for the steel guitar community and for building the Cadillac of the steel guitars. Also, the Pedalbro is still discussed reverentially here on the Forum. ...

For my money, the master was Lew Houston with Conway. Jimmie Crawford, Hal Rugg and Weldon could do it great, but it wasn't part of their style, like it was with Lew.

Very cool Wally! You have the touch, and nice tune also.

I've told this anecdote before, but it bears repeating. When Casals was 94, he was asked why he practiced four hours a day. His reply was that he was "making progress!"
