Today I pause to honor my all time favorite steel player, Buddy Emmons. What a legacy he left behind. Most of us will never get close to the level he played. RIP Buddy Emmons, we all miss you greatly.

He was the most instinctively gifted musician I've ever heard.

Probably the biggest inspiration to aspiring steelers and veterans alike. His tracks are what I attempt to emulate daily. Many moments of silence taken here.
