Sho-Bud arrives! This Buds for me!

David L. Donald · Post by **David L. Donald** » 28 Mar 2003 5:42 am

Finally after a long wait my Sho-Bud Pro II 8+6 has gotten here! I have played it about 18 of the last 24 hours and it's a GAS!!
Love a C6 neck where I don't run out of notes, and E9 is interesting.

I want to thank a few people. 1st and foremost

Crowbear from PairO'knees for pointing out the posting of this steel instead of selling me his...and fielding countles phone calls and questions. Thanks guy!!

There is a nice bottle of Pommerol in your near future.

Next Patrick Schonfeld for giving me a Steel of a Deel, one that got me the instrument I really wanted, not a starter or something I would want to dump soon.

Tommy Cass for doing some great work setting it up and proper packing for shppment ( it arrived intact) and for being my original inspiration to play this instrument some 35 years ago. I played steel for most of that time, but not with pedals.

Jeff Lampert for his advice and the confirmation I will really be able to do what I want on this instrument.

Ed Packard for his MASSIVE amount of logic postings for this instrument. Another confirmation that all is possible eventually.

Gene Jones and
Carl Dixon for lots of postings and general kindness. Thanks guys you have been a lot of help. (and not just to me)

Jody Carver for just being himself! What more needs be said.

Dr. Hugh for his CD, general inspiration, and very nice postings and things he has to say about my music.

Reggie Duncan for a nice hunk of metal bar.
Danny Cormier for a nice CD and expressing interest in what I do.

Tom Bradshaw for learing tools and Curley's cassette and Jeff Newman too.

Rebel™ for his chords info

Mac MacKee for info and a long conversation out of the blue.
Trap Truely for his chords, info and encouragement.

And Kenny Duncan for the cool shirts too.

Stephane in Nimes my "professeur" and a great sideman for the band.

And not to be forgotten Bobby Lee for having such a cool place to learn and make new friends. And for all his great advice.

If I have forgetten anyone... well you know who you are and thanks to you too!

Congratulations David! No tentative beginning for you....you've "jump-started" and hit the ground running!

So, with that "state of the art" recording studio that you have, I'll be expecting to hear a CD with some of your work before long......and with you playing ALL the instruments! www.genejones.com

Hey, what am I? chopped liver?

Do you think bad humor, tasteless photos, props, and memory sticks grow on trees?

As Gene said, "you sure have hit the ground running!" Glad I had a small hand in it!
Best of everything for you, my friend. If you decide to get rid of that Kay, let me know! J'espère que vous apprécierez![This message was edited by Reggie Duncan on 28 March 2003 at 02:04 PM.]

Hi Kenny and Jeff Thanks for the support.
A Sho-Buddy and a bit of a Sho-Buddist too.
Gotta get in that zen place to make it sing.
