My father, James (Jimmie) Williams played steel guitar in the 50's at many local clubs. He gave it up for many years, but in his later years after my mother passed away, he returned to playing the steel, mainly in churches and nursing homes with a small group of friends locally. The guitar is a 1937 Gibson EH150 lap steel. I still have it and just played it last night as a matter of fact. I did have to get the pickup re-wound a few years ago.
Just thought some of you folks might find this interesting. Dad has been gone many years now, one of my regrets is that I didn't let him teach me how to play before he passed on. _________________ GFI SM10 3/4, 1937 Gibson EH-150, 2 - Rondo SX Lap Steels and a Guyatone 6 String C6.

Very cool Jim. That's a great pic of you're Dad and I know he'd be very proud that you're playing his Gibson. _________________ Show Pro #26 & #83,BJS bars,Stereo Steel,Tommy Huff cabs loaded with JBL D130's, Wampler pedals,NV112,NV400, Steelers Choice Seats |
