Herb Steiner

Post by Dave Biller »

Wasn't sure if anyone had heard yet but, just in case you haven't, our beloved forum brother Herb Steiner was injured in a car accident last night. I don't know too many details but he did suffer a broken nose and a badly broken right foot that might put him out of gig and possibly fishing commission for several months. I'm sure the man will fill us all in on the rest when he feels up to it. In the meantime, please keep our pal in your good thoughts.....

Visited Herb in the hospital this evening and his nose is broken ("they glued it together"), his foot is broken in several places and all in a cast, but his humor is incredibly intact -- and salty as ever. He indicated that he might be playing non-pedal steel for a while, but was, in fact, negotiating the purchase of an old Emmons from someone in Tennessee, from his hospital bed!

Shoot! Sorry to hear this. Get well soon, Herb! Do I see more non-pedal in your immediate future?:lol:

As someone who recently got a nasty injury in a car accident, I can say make sure they check out your neck, too. My damn neck still hurts me 5 months later, after the laceration on my head has already healed.

Herb, I hope you're not in too much pain and recover quickly.

As bad as this was, let us all be grateful that it wasn't a lot worse. You're still alive, and didn't break your back and lose the use of your legs.

Right now you must be pretty unhappy, but you WILL recover. Just be patient.

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)

I hate to hear of anyone having a bad accident. When it comes to a fellow steel player it just hurts me even more. Best wishes for a speed recovery Herb. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
