I wanted to publicly thank Ricky Davis for working on my new (vintage) Sho-Bud Pro II. He did a great job tweaking the guitar. It plays like new! I can't wait to play it live to hear it growl.

Thanks Ricky!

Absolutely, Don. Ricky D is a wealth of information and master mechanic on Sho Buds, a monster picker, and a great guy!

There's lots of Ricky's steel on tour with Dale Watson on Dale's "Live in London England" album from 2014:

Nowadays you can catch Ricky playing lots of Texas honky tonk steel with Weldon Henson.
Here's Ricky on a real nice version of Empty Glass from Weldon's brand new CD, "Texas Made Honky Tonk"

Let me add my Kudo’s to this Don.

I had Ricky go through my Dad’s Very Stiff difficult to play, LDG a couple of years ago. It played so nice when he got it back, then when I sat down to play it, you just about couldn’t peel me off of it. Ricky did an awesome job.
