| I have known Sonny Curtis over 45+ years. I agree he should have been in the HOF long, long ago. This guy is a wealth of knowledge and history. He is a gentlemens, gentlemen. One of the finest players ever. He was one of the very first professional players to begin to endorse Clark Custom Steel Guitars. I met Sonny and shared with him about the Clark Guitars, he was interested and the rest is history. He also had one of the very first Emmons push/pulls, number 3, I think. He also has history with Sho-Bud guitars many are not aware of. I am honored to have his friendship. |

| When I was a kid I bought my first new Telecaster from Sonny. I still have it and the sales receipt. |

I bought my first Sho-Bud pak-a-seat
and Sho-Bud volume pedals from Sonny,
Also my original old Bill Lawrence
cords that I still use today. I also
bought the Session 500
that Peavey sent him. He never like it
and I begged him out of it. I still have it.
Then about two years ago he sold me a new old stock
Sho-Bud volume pedal that clamps to the pedal bar.
It was in the original box too.
I agree with Gary Preston, he should be in the
Hall Of Fame....

He's been at it for I guess at least 60 years.
Not exactly sure when this was taken.

| Sonny Curtis got THE best tone out of an Emmons guitar that I ever heard playing through his Randall Steelman. Amazing Emmons tone. Just a great classic steel player and a heck of a nice guy. Why he wasn't put into the SGHOF many years ago is beyond me. One of my top favorite players. |

Sonny is my friend and one of my very favorite people who plays the steel guitar. If I were going to put on a steel show Sonny would be the first star player I would try to get to come. He most definitely should be in the Hall Of Fame. I must admit his pedals down E and pedals up A setup on E9th is very hard to get to work properly. I sure miss getting to see Sonny since the Indianapolis Gospel show closed down. We had some great times there with Sonny and his wife.
