I have been asked time and again, how about the Sound Factory that performed with Buddy Emmons at the early International Steel Guitar Conventions.
Well we did not have video then, but I have found my cassette tapes from 1981 and I have the 3 hours show.
So sit back, turn on your stereo and enjoy
The Big E and the Sound Factory at the 1981 ISGC.

Did Buddy ever play the blade any years at the convention?

| Outstanding Bill. I didn't attend the ISGC until 86 so this is nothing but new material for me. The volume is a little low but sound is decent. How incredible to hear these for the first time. God bless you for your efforts to preserve and share with us. |

Isn’t the “Live ‘77†album on The Blade?
Thanks for sharing brother BF

Jerry, I just looked at those pictures and have requested that I be able to use them along with the audio.
Hope I get a response.
This being said, I could use pictures from any of the conventions.
Makes the audio uploads more interesting than just a title.
If anybody has any to share, you can send them to me at bferguson1947@gmail.com
Be sure and indicate the year and name if you know the answer.
This is now starting to get to be fun.
It has been a chore since the invention of YouTube and because I have SO MUCH live recordings.
Bear with me and hopefully you will get to hear all your favorites.
Be sure and subscribe to my YouTube Channel and click on the bell to get notified when I release new recordings.
I have thousands.
Thanks,
Bill

Jerry H: The Blade returned to the convention a few times.
Bill C: Live '77 wasn't the Blade.
Jerry O: The third picture down in the LeGrande prior to Ron putting the "LeGrande" sticker on the front apron.
Bill F: Thank you for helping to keep Buddy's music out there for people to hear, (and sometimes see)!

Frank, since you go back that far, would you please check 1982 and 1983.
I am looking for the first year that Roy Rosetta played keyboard. A copy of that page and the cover would be great. Please email to me if you have it.
Thanks so much
Bill

Bill -
Unfortunately, I sold a ton of steel guitariana a couple of years ago, including one or two of the programs that you seek.
They're out there - hopefully someone will see fit to share them with you and the Forum.
Regards,
Frank |

| He played the Blade once in the 90's while in between guitar switches right after Peggy had bought it back. My understanding she bought it and told Buddy it couldn't be sold! |
