Emery "Tex" Anthony Herpberger

Post by Ron Wood »

Mr. Herpberger was a steel guitarist in Canada who passed away in 2023 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewn. I don't recall seeing his name here, but if I missed it, please forgive me. He was 92 and had played since his early years.

I saw him playing steel guitar in 1955 with the Ray Little Radio Cowboys in Winnipeg on radio CKY 580 AM. They played in many small towns in the US and Canada.
