Thanks for the "howdy." I didn't get it though, cause I was with Johnny Bush that night at Bubba Cox's place in Granger. I believe Brother Snell did the gig in my place.
Yep, Kenny Grimes is the man! Not only did I take music theory lessons from him years ago, but his wife introduced me to the woman I married. Kenny is also a pretty fair steel player.
I've tried to get Danny Hawk on the Forum for awhile now. He came to visit me last night at Jovita's before going over to Mango's, but I think his computer time is spent day-trading or some such endeavor in which you can lose money faster than you can spending it on steel guitar crap. And Danny has a really nice Lloyd Green SB. I rebuilt the changer/did a setup for him and it is very smooth playing. The guitar also has a George L 5-way pickup in it and that helps considerably.
BTW, if anybody on the Forum wants to move to Central Texas, Danny Hawk has a house on the market in the Lake Travis community of Spicewood TX, about 45 miles from the center of Austin. He is living in the house now and it is a WAY COOL split level home, suitable for a single man or a couple with perhaps one child. Perfect for a retiree. I think around $175K. If anyone is interested, email me and I'll put ya in touch with the Hawkster.
