Here's one of 'em (called "Blondie")!

and here's a pair of Blondes which "Blondie" has had the privilege and pleasure of backing-up; mother and daughter vocalists Belinda (foreground) and Tammy.

The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being.

Belinda and Tammy are true, dinky-di, home-grown Aussie ladies. As their last name is Stone, technically I can truthfully say I have backed up "The Stones"!

This is a new/old p/p that Ron Jr. sold me a few years ago. I sold it and FedEx wound up paying for it.

Yes, I sold it to a fellow steeler and when he got it it had several cracks in the cabinet. He called Fed Ex and they wouldn't even acknowledge any damage. He sent the guitar back to me and I wound up taking Fed Ex to court. They danced around the issue but the judge awarded me full value of the guitar and Fed Ex wound up with it. I understand that they have a warehouse in Utah where they take that kind of stuff and then have an auction.
I really felt bad over the whole deal, it was a beautiful guitar and irreplaceable.
