Tony Davis of Brisbane Steel Guitar Club Australia

Post by Daniel Dickie »

In sad news from Brisbane, Australia Tony Davis has passed away.
He had many friends in the steel guitar world both in Australia and the USA.
He was an avid member of the forum in his younger years and enjoyed writing funny comments on here.
He was such a great friend to me when I started out on the steel in 2012. He would let me borrow his guitar when I didn't have one. He was always encouraging of my playing even if I was just starting out and sounded terrible.
I used to enjoy the jams that we would have together in the Dobro corner at Brisbane Steel Guitar Club.
He would always be there backing me up so it would sound better.
RIP Tony and thanks for everything that you have given me mate.

I always enjoyed Tony's banter with Anne Marie O'Keefe back in the day. Fun and humorous posts. RIP Mr. Davis.

I too, enjoyed Tony's superb wit and I had the great pleasure of spending some time with Tony and Lynne at The Dallas Jamboree.
Tony gave us a little Koala Bear which is still clipped to a mirror in one of our rooms at home and every time I see it I think of Tony.
We have lost a super person.
Rest peacefully dear Friend
Ann and Billy
