I worked at the factory from about June through December 1979. At that time, the factory was on N. 2nd Street in Nashville.
I think most of the 1970s Sho-Buds were made there.
There were layoffs in December 1979, and I was one of those let go. The night I was laid off, I remember sitting in my bathtub wondering how I was going to pay the rent and buy groceries.
A few days later, Harry Jackson hired me to resume my former job as janitor at the Sho-Bud store on Lower Broad. I'll never forget his kindness.
If I remember correctly, Sho-Buds continued to be made at the N. 2nd Street factory until sometime in the early 80s, when operations and a few employees moved to Conway, Arkansas.
So I think both your steels were made at N 2nd Street. |

Unfortunately, Duane was not there when I was.
George Edwards and Yasu Kamiya did the final checks and setups. They did their work with great care, because they both loved Sho-Bud pedal steels. |
