Hi Folks,

Seems Jeff really fit in a lot fun and a lot of living before he left us.

Would love to hear more stories.

Hey Jack,

I've recently read posts about Joe's thought on Jeff's approach and techniques and,I guess, vice versa as Jeff had strong opinions about the "right way" to do things.

I've really enjoyed all these YouTube videos. The Kayton Roberts one was fabulous. This is another good one.

Thanks for posting these Walter and keep em comin'!

Thanks Larry,

I'm my own worst critic but I don't sweat the mistakes too much. I play when I'm alone so as not to be responsible for illness or ear damage to others! http://steelguitarforum.com/wink. ...

Hi Russ

Even as a new comer to the steel community, I can see what a great loss it is not to have Jeff Newman with us.
