Arnette has been one of my favorite players since the first time I heard him play. He makes the song his own. I never got to meet him, but he called me out of the blue one day and we had a very nice conversation. He passed away not long after this. RIP great steel player.

I agree with you Rick, the first time I ran across him on YouTube and heard him play I was an instant fan.
I never met him, but somehow he sort of knew who I was. Imagine my surprise when I was at the Dallas show in 2018, his young portégé Jonathan Reynolds walked up to me with a CD that Arnett had made and wanted me to have. That was very special to me and his kindness will always be remembered.
