I've been reorganizing my music/computer 'man-cave' this afternoon - trying to make sense out of all these wires! Anyway, I've got Bobbe's website streaming in the background and I keep stopping what I'm doing to listen to him play and I'm not getting anything done! For shear, unadulterated listening pleasure, he just can't be beat - the man is a MASTER - he makes it all sound so easy - nothing forced about it - any kind of music. I just wanted to put to put this out there and let everyone know what a treasure we have in our midst and if you haven't taken advantage of it, sign on to his website and tune in!!

You are right Skip,Mr, Seymore is my FAVORITE PLAYER,i HAVE TAPES,LP'S,AND cd's OF MOST OF THE GREATS,But 90 percent of my listening is Mr. Seymore,He can take ANY tune that has been worn out by every one [even the BIG guys]put that Seymore touch to it and make it his own.DYKBC.

I was in Mr. Seymore's shop one time,he was working on a VERY,VERY, cheap student guitar,he plugged into an amp and started playing,You would have thought he was playing a five thousand dollar pro model.that's what I mean by that SEYMORE TOUCH.DYKBC.

There are many,many,guys here on the forum,pro's and non pro's that bend over backwards to help each other,But I don't think the steel and the players have a BETTER friend than Mr.Seymore.Awhile back when I was on the road with a little almost unknown band,When we were in Nashville would always go by Bobbe's,Sometimes there would be some well known big time pickers there,But,Mr.Seymore would treat my friends and myself like we were superstars,would make us feel as much at home as he did the big guys,that's the kind of man he is,he earned my respect YEARS ago.not only is he my FAVORITE steel player,he's one of my favorite people,Also me being a hard core animal rights advocate,I appreciate his compassion for our furry friends.DYKBC.
