50th Anniversary of "SLOWLY"

Yesterday, November 29th, was the 50th Anniversary of the recording of Webb Pierce's "Slowly", which featured Bud Isaac's moving tone style for the first time.

I can't believe nobody said anything! I can't believe I forgot until right now!

November 29, 1593 is the B.C./A.D. for steel guitar, and it slipped right by!

Let's not forget how important that record is, so let this be the Bud Isaacs appreciation thread!

Congradulations, Bud!!!

That original date was impressive enough for me to go out and buy a BIGSBY with Bud's set-up on one of the four necks. I played many of his tunes over the years and it was always fun to watch the crowd as I did so.

I thought it came out in 1954. What ever year it was i'll never forget that sound.

The day the universe changed! Thank you, Bud Isaacs!

I'm moving this topic to the "Steel Players" section.
