I am not sure Bill. I can ask Lloyd if it is important?

I got an email from Lloyd.
It is from about 4 years ago at a BMI Awards with some of the Legends in the music industry.

Bill -
Thanks for the info relative to the photo.
If BMI was smart, they would've given Lloyd an award as a Legend in the Music Business. |

Years ago, when I started playing steel guitar, I told my teacher that, for E9 stuff, I wanted to play like Lloyd, John Hughey, and Ralph Mooney.
He's only got one eye, but it felt like a drill bit, when he gave me that Jack Elam one-good-eye stare, and said, "who doesn't?"
Sorta like asking b0b for a banjo... |

A very cool picture. I firmly agree... I'm glad we still have Lloyd around. A pioneer and master of our instrument to be sure. Also, a great guy to talk to. It was Lloyd, Curly and "The Big E" who ignited my desire to play the steel guitar in the 60s.
Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" Olson |

Lloyd is very good friend of mine. He is playing way better these days than he has ever had. Such a nice guy too. Innovative he is.

| I am working on a new recording of steel instrumentals and had Lloyd come in and grace a track with his touch. He is playing incredibly well; soulful, tasteful...yes classy. And what a gentleman. Thank you Lloyd. |
