Gary: Do you remember from where or whom you heard this from? I picked around the Dayton Fairborn & Columbus area for years up until 1971. I've known every steel player in those areas going back to the early 60's and I have not heard about anyone passing as of yet. I will check with some of my contacts there and if I find out anything I'll post it here.
Best regards
Ron

I don't think it matters who told me , i told him that i would see if i could find anything out . I to know a lot of players in Ohio . This just caught me off guard . I haven't heard anything myself . Since i am the President of the Ohio Steel Guitar Association i get to know a lot of people . Generally i am the first one they call when they hear anything . This is all i know .

Gary, I haven't heard anything from over this way either. I guess it's still possible that we lost someone... But, between Chubby and Phil Perry's forum posts, I'm pretty sure the word would've gotten out by now.

Thanks for clearing that up for us Chubby.

Gary, since you are the author of this thread, should you maybe update the subject line???
