| I've had and still use two of those glasses since they first came out in the 70s. If I remember right, I bought them directly from Peggy in Buddy's booth at the St. Louis show. |

LOL! Yes, I do have some of these "Foremost Steel Guitar Glasses" left. They are $7.00 each (it costs about $2.50 to just ship one!). So, if anyone wants to drink from a glass that "Saturates You With Emmons' Talent" (after 4 drinks), they are available: P.O. Box 931, Concord, CA 94522.
This was one of several projects that Scotty and I lost our @#$'s on away back in the '80s or '90s. We "paid" Buddy to let us do it by giving him a bunch of the glasses, then telling him he would become a millionaire by selling them himself. I'd like to believe he did. I know we didn't! ...Tom
P.S: One complaint about the glass was about the color of the imprint. Most observers felt it should have been in black paint, not the burnt orange. What they didn't realize was that black paint was hard to read once the glass had something in it, wherease the burnt orange could still be read quite nicely. That knowledge still didn't end up selling them! |

| Gee. If I sell all I have, I might make as much as that eBay seller realized by selling just the 4 he had. No wonder I'll never make it as a businessman. ...Tom |

| Tom, maybe you and Scotty should sell those glasses on eBay yourself. I know I wouldn't sell mine for any amount of money. |

I need one. Personal check okay? paypal?(my preference...I will pay the fee)
Tom if you got a bunch of other stuff like this you really should consider busting it out. I'm not exactly "young" but some of us younger guys never got a shot at this stuff the first time around and would love stuff like this.
I guess if you put a brown liqour in that glass the burnt orange print would be hard to read but that wont be a problem for me. Brown liquor makes me sicker.  |

Hey guys. With shipping the total is $9.50 for the first glass. If you want more than just one (and I can ship them at the same time), just add $7.00 for each additional glass. Fire off a personal check to me at P.O. Box 931, Concord, CA 94522.
All the other items I sell are mentioned on my web site: http://www.songwriter.com/bradshaw/
Several years ago I donated a ton of T-shirts to the Forum. b0b has them, but I don't think he has ever advertised them as items that could be purchased through the Forum. There were a number of designs. Bug him about them if that would be an item of interest to you (and Lord knows our Forum could use the money!). ...Tom |

Hello Tom. I'm putting a check in the mail tomorrow for two glasses. Thanks, Duncan
Also, I too am curious about this "mysterious stash" of undefined t-shirts that b0b has stored in some unnamed warehouse in the "dodgy" section of the CLoverdale warehouse district.

Emmons' talent after only 4 drinks!! I'm sending for one also. I can't seem to get the Emmons thing at this point no matter how much I drink.

They arrived today, thanks Mr. Bradshaw!
Now a question. If I wanted to make a cocktail to honor Mr. Emmons , what would be in it? It would need to be smooth. |

| Chuck. Your tumbler is on the way. If you aren't sounding just like Buddy after 4 bourbon and water's, the glass is obviously defective. ...Tom |
