Since my fingers won't always do what I tell them I have had to stop playing but not a human on this planet loves the steel guitar more than I do. I started playing when I was 13 and am now 69. A long time and wish I still played. Thanks for your kind comments to and old has been that never was.

Gere- Welcome! Don't stop playing that steel guitar.
If it is hard to pick, then just strum, that works too.....good luck.....al

How far away from Jackson Tn. are you? Welcome to the forum and come see me in Jackson at the Bandstand. We'll talk STEEL.

Tony Farr · Post by **Tony Farr** » 28 Sep 2002 5:25 am

Chuck, Jackson is about a 3 hour drive from Nashville. I come through Jackson about every 6 or so weeks on my way to Texas and other places West. I've played at the American Legion several times, the last couple of N>Years eves. Got caught in a snow year before last, and my ife got us back home safely. There were times that it was snowing so hard that we could not see but she just keep right on trucking. Great driver I don't go anywhere with her.

Chuck I appreciate the offer to come see you in Jackson. We go there a lot to the Casey Jones place. Let me know where your picking place is and when you play and might just drop by and catch you.

Gere Mullican · Post by **Gere Mullican** » 28 Sep 2002 6:04 am

Al. I didn't stop olaying voluntarily, someone stole my steel between Phoenix and Nashville a few months ago. It was a Marlen single ten on a double frame that Leonard made for me in 1974. I sure miss it but since I am retired I just can't afford to buy another one right now.

Hey guys thank you so much. I appreciate the warm welcome I have received and I will be continually checking to see if any of my old buddies ever come in. Mike Douchette, Ron Hogan are 2 I have seen comments from. John Hughey and Lloyd Green wont remember me from several years ago. I was a DJ at a small country station in Gallatin TN and have picked in that area for many years. I would love to hear from anyone. Thanks again for the support and welcome

If you could post some pictures of your guitar and a good description the forum might help you recover it.It should be automatic life for stealing a guitar.
On second thought maybe just cut off both hands.

Gere,
You've went 69 years without going crazy....but this might be what did ya in.

Joking of coruse...welcome.

Bob.

Gere Mullican · Post by **Gere Mullican** » 30 Sep 2002 7:21 am

Willis I have a picture of it but don't know how to get it on this site. It was the regular Lloyd Green type padded inside neck...3 and 3. Padding was a light tan. I guess it was standard padding that Leonard used.The finish was a natural light color.It is exactly like the single/double ten thats on the Marlen web site. Hope it turns up somewhere. And Bob I probably am a little crazy. It caught up with me. Thanks guys.
