Lots of people know Roy Peterman. I saw him with “the Kramer Brothers“ a few weeks ago, and Roy has been playing steel with them for several years now. He’s playing his Emmons Legrand through a quilter amp (as far as I could tell) and he really sounded good. He and the fiddle player were locked in on quite a few tough licks together. I’ve seen Roy before, but never in this band. I gotta hand it to them all they sounded like pros then again that’s what they are all about. Great sounding traditional band. |

Barry, I used to see Roy at Tommy Vollmer's steel jams in Hamburg, Pa. Roy is not only a great steel player, he's as nice a guy as you'll ever meet.
Sure miss trying to steal licks from him! R.I.P. Tom Vollmer, you were a true friend. |

| Hi Ben, He really is a great player. I met him once but I don't really know him, I see him around more than anything. Hope your well. |

Great to see my 'ol buddy Roy still out there giggin'..!! One of my road-warrior pals from the 70s and 80s, Roy and I were both members of the unofficial, Steel-Man / Tour Bus Driver Club.
Roy is a really great player and a really good guy..!!
It sure would be good to see and hear you again one of these days Roy. And for that matter, you also Ben. |

| Tiny and Roy, if you get tired of that snow and cold up in N.Y and Pa., come on down to Florida. I would love to see you both. |

Roy's a fine player and a true gentleman. I've had the pleasure of getting to know him at the Vollmer jams over the last years; I always learn something listening to him.

Thanks so much for posting this Barry, I appreciate the very kind words. I hope to see you once again!
Ben, I sure miss seeing you at the jams. I hope you are doing well in sunshine land!
Tiny, I remember playing a showcase show when you were with Gene and I was with Stampley. What a great player you are! You are on my bucket list to come and see you pick once again. Road warriors we were, for sure, although I don't miss driving a bus. LOL!
Rob, you are a true gentleman and it's a pleasure to know you and big plus to know you are a woodworker, too!
Thanks so much you guys! |

| Roy that wooden amp stand that you gave me is awesome! It's always in my truck. I use it everywhere but at home. It's such a simple design that it's ingenius. Thank you! |
