Marty, Tony is a forum member. I agree with everything you say about him. He is top notch. It's been a while since we heard from him _________________ BenRom Pedal Steel Guitars

I totally agree Tony's playing is awesome, I'm curious what the rest of his set up is. |

I believe I recall Tony telling me he plays through an older Peavey bass guitar amp. |

I played guitar with Tony in church back in the 70's. About 15 years ago I decided I would like to learn the steel so I called him. He said him and his Dad had pieced together an old Marlen single neck he would sell me. Went to see it and it was in their wood shop. Tony got it down and set it up, pulled up an old chair and told his Dad to hand him something. He handed him a piece of gavanized pipe. No picks and a piece of pipe and he ate that thing up! After learning more about the steel makes me appreciate even more how he can play. And he just keeps getting better! |

All I can say is awesome! Steel as it should be played, his own style with tremendous feeling. Where is Tony from? |

As far as I know he's lived in Kannapolis, NC all his life. He will probably be playing at the Kannapolis Jam on April 3rd. |
