You can go far and wide and never meet up with a more humorous sense of humor. By far and large Howard is the best at what he does
best,and that is to make us smile and laugh.
Howard rushes home from a hard days work at the office and prepares all these things for all of us and for that I thank Howard.
George Carlin...step aside, now that Howards
back in town.  |

I'd have to nominate Mr. Brett Day for his knowledge of manufacturers, their history, present states. Also for which players play and have played with which artists, and dates and times that flat out escape most of us.
I don't think that there are many of us that haven't been ever so gently corrected by his vast knowledge from his studies at one point or another.
I for one appreciate it, and I'm not generally one that likes constructive critis..crytis...critic... well, you know what I mean..
Thanks Brett.

I vote for Ricky Davis. Always there with new tab. Always willing to answer all of our goofy questions, usually more than once. Nice guy, great player, golf pro, who deserves our votes more than a man of this stature?

And let's not forget Graham, who gave us the Rebel steel pages.

"It's a job as thankless as herding cats."
Is this what you get up to in your spare time Bob?? I fell about laughing when I read it! But did`ent realise cats were such a problem over there!
H.O.F. My vote goes for my dear old friend and teacher, the late Mr.Gordon Huntley this side of the pond. He was a great player, and did more for the promotion of the steel guitar in Europe than anyone else I know, and it pains me to see his memory drifting into obscurity.
Maybe he was born the wrong side of the pond, but had we the internet back then, you would all have known him. |

John,
No need to slander all the cat herders out there. Yes, it is a thankless job but someone has to do it. Where would the world be without cat herders, reality TV producers and contestants, accordion and boom-bah players, etc....?
