We need to turn the TWANG up a little
It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.
They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head
Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron
the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.

Andy, sorry for the loss of your son. I lost a son about 48 years ago,
and these losses are not easy, or forgotten.

So sorry for you Andy! I don't know you personally, but I feel I know you through your love of steel guitar.
I lost my oldest son Richard in 1997. He was 17 years old and the light of my life. Part of you dies with them.
All best to the rest of your family. I'm sorry I can't make it any less painful.......

Thank you, So you understand
Thank you, So you understand as there are no words that express what we feel when/if this happens. We'd never wish this on others.C. E. Jackson wrote:Andy, sorry for the loss of your son. I lost a son about 48 years ago,

Just treasure them while they are here is all I can think of.
I just got back to Oregon at 2am. First thing in the morning I have to try to see my lawyer for some advice and then go do what is needed with the morticians.
Best wishes,
Andy

Not a thing we can say really describe or explain. No words fit.
