Please help, Smiley just came running into my office, pushed eveyone out of the way, grabbed his Dobro and played a fast Christmas song,never saying a word, then got up and ran out,,,, all we heard was the pitter patter of his little feet as he ran off to the next steel players abode.
My new secretary didn't know who he was, or what he was doing, how do I explain Smiley to her? Please help!

Bobbe,
Are you sure he wasn't playing "Happy Birthday" to YOU?

Yes, it was happy birthday, but with Smiley playing it, how could I know?
Just kidding , it was great! The first thing Abby said after he left was "I don't know who he was but he sure sounded good!" (she does now though, and she'll never forget him either!)
Thank you Smiley, this was a great birthday present! It's nice to be appreciated by "old" friends!

You guys are nuts. You've been drinking up the Christmas Cheer a bit too early.
Smiley has been in South Mills, NC for over a week now visiting with me. |

Tell your secretary that you heard a story
years ago about one of Santa's elves that
got hooked on steroids. Santa was
upset because he was too big for his outfit.
The story said that elf was seen falling
from the sleigh back near Nashville in 1860's.
Eyewitness reports and photographs confirm that the huge elf looked a lot like Smiley.

| At least he did it on or near your birthday. Ask Jimmie Crawford about the time he came to his house in his pajamas, walked in with dobro in hand, played happy birthday to Jimmie, walked out the door and left in a cloud of mystery. It was 6 months AFTER Jimmie's birthday. |

| But I saw Smiley in Nashville last night. Surely there's not more than one Smiley. Kinda like all the Santas you see. If so we in deep do-do. He's everywhere. He's everywhere. |

Hello Everyone - It's me again - yep the Smile Man himself using Donna's computer down in the Peach State. Since Donna likes MY work, I wanted to check out HER work at the dental office. After all, SMILES are what dentists are all about, right? What a gal - she let me sit in the chair, gave me some of the the "funny juice". I turned it up when she wasn't looking! She let me play with all the chair settings and pressure wash the little hygiene room. Well, she didn't actually LET me. I just did.
Here's a picture of them trying to remove one of the instruments I swallowed.

Smiley was sited drinking snaps with Johnny Hallidy and Catherine Deneuve in Cannes about 30 minutes ago.
He was wearing the nose mustache and glasses.
They thought he was Groucho.
Bobbe, when he has those on, there is NO explaination your secretary will buy! |

Yep, hard to make new friends, better try our best to keep the old ones! It takes knowing someone a long time before you even know if they are a friend or not. I've known Smiley since the mid sixties, a hard guy not to like. A lot of talent, humor and a lot of hidden intelligence! (well hidden at times)
Possibly one of the most underated players I know. AND, he remembered my birthday.
