One of the websites I visit is "udiscovermusic". There are two, short articles noting the passing of Buddy Emmons in 2015 and Ben Keith in 2023. I thought you folks might be interested in reading them.

Buddy Emmons article: https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/death-of-steel-guitar-great-buddy-emmons/ Note the article photo is of a famous six string guitar, not a steel guitar.

Ben Keith article: https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/ben-keith-steel-guitar-master/

I saw Ben Keith play live with Neil Young a couple times over the years in the Bay Area.

The final time I saw him was at the huge Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. He was in Pegi Young's band.

No disrespect intended to the late Pegi, but the reason I planted myself at that stage for their set was because I knew Big Ben was part of the band.
