This really is great stuff, brings back a lot of memories. I worked with a band called "Stagecoach" way back in the late 70's early 80'sand we were the warm up band before Gene came on. A couple of numbers in and my amp went bang. Almost instantly Tiny Olsen came across and plugged my steel into his amp. When we finished our set we went to the dressing room and Gene and his band were getting ready and Gene asked my wife to straighten his collar, that made her night, at least until the end of the night when he gave her a kiss. Anyway keep this stuff comming I love it.
Cheers Dave. |

Great sounding steel too. I don't recognize the fretmarkers on it, do you know the builder/brand of the guitar?  |

| IMO, Gene Watson, is awesome. A unique fantastic voice, with amazing stage presence and original style. I salute the steeler, IMO, an amazing musician. I've never met Tiny, if this is him, but IMO, he definitely "knows where it's at". Of course the nickname "Tiny" is sometimes given to someone physically large. Years ago I had a good friend in the USAF, his name was Tiny Kaplan and I hope he is still around but he was one of the largest, well proportioned men I ever met. Watching the steel player at one moment reminded me of Ron Lashley, Sr. picking the heck out of a PP Emmons at the factory, in Burlington, N.C. I cherish old memories; hey, it's my life. |

| I'm not completely sure, But the fret markers seem to me to be like the ones on a JCH guitar. Great tone and technique on Tiny's part, regardless of the brand. |
