Today is the 44th Anniversary of the passing of the legendary steel guitarist, Wayne Gailey. Wayne was born in Riverside, CA in 1938, grew up in Corona, CA, lived in Albuquerque, NM most of his adult life, and left this world suddenly in Reno, NV. Wayne started his career in southern California and played in many places around the world. His love and knowledge of the steel guitar was often generously passed on to others who were beginning their own steel guitar journeys. Wayne’s life and work touched many in the country music and steel guitar communities. Wayne was a musician, an innovator, a husband, a father, a brother, and a son. He remains forever in our hearts. We love you Wayne (Dad)!

Daughters Patty and Melissa and their families, son Mark and his family, sister Marlene and her family, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Met him at Navajo Hogan in Colorado Springs early 1971. Great steel player and enjoyed visiting with him. As soon as I got out of the Army, I had to buy a pair of those zipper side calf skin leather boots like he was wearing.
