RIP Walter Eugene Dobkins

Post by Bill Dobkins »

I lost my brother Gene today. He loved Pedal Steel and always wanted to play one but wasn't musically inclined.
He was in the Air Force with Jack Watkins who was Ronnie Milsaps Lead Guitar player. He brought Jack home with him a couple times. Jack taught me my chords, how to tune it ect. Gene always supported my music and I will miss him. RIP brother.

Bill, my deepest sympathy. You brother served this country for which I am thankful. Much more important than playing PSG.
