Del Ray,

.......It made me smile and also it made me sad in a way.....I was born in Detroit in 1954 and did not move away until 1971. I was so close but yet so isolated from this influence...Although our paths never crossed, I sure wished they had.....Your participation on the net and here on the forum is a welcomed bridge into your special world of inspirational music.

Thank you for posting this, Del Ray. Very interesting history. One of my favorite Sacred Steelers is the good Bishop Ronnie Hall. I'm inspired by his story, the obstacles he's overcome, and the fact that he personally acknowledges each one of his admirers. He's earned his place in the SSHOF.

Thanks for that very nice overview Del Ray. I really enjoy the Sacred Steel music that is posted on the Forum. I wish I had been exposed to it earlier, but I am making up for lost time. I always get a blessing listening to this wonderful music.
