Wow, he was an amazing player! Such a loss. My condolences to his family and friends. Pedal steel sound without pedals! |

Billy Robinson is one of my all time favourite players. What a wonderful, creative and dedicated musician.
He is the reason I keep trying to get my sound on non pedal steel.
Sorry to hear this sad news. _________________ If it’s on the ground it can’t fall down. |

This is such sad news.
Seeing Billy and hearing him perform at the steel shows was something I always looked forward to.
He was always a kind and friendly gentleman.
Rest in peace Billy. |

Billy was unique as a player and a great ambassador for the steel guitar. I remember our interview well. He was a warm, friendly person. RIP. _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |
