James Eddie Hawkins Rest In Peace

Post by Johnny Cox »

My very first mentor in Nashville was my Sunday School teacher. Eddie was also a steel guitar lover. He had a Fender 400 that was the very first pedal steel I ever touched. Eddie and his family and my family were close friends and went to Church together. Eddie passed away Friday evening in Hermitage, Tn. I will miss him greatly. Prayers for his family.
