The future is bright.
Jonathan deserves to be in the "Steel Players" section, so I'm moving this.

| We saw this wonderful and beautiful steel guitar player at the St. Louis Hall of Fame show last year! He was awesome! I know that meeting Bud Isaacs was wonderful for him! Roy and I hope to see him next year too! Laurie |

Jonathon is indeed a prodigy and is a great asset to the SWSGA. And in addition to that, he is a christian and plays in church! What a blessing this young man is. He will be in Dallas this year, so don't miss it!!

| Those are some priceless pictures. No one has stated how young Jonathan is. Looks like he and Austin Stewart are in a class by themselves. I have met Austin a couple of times and hope to meet Jonathan someday. I bet these guys are going to be some great steel players in the days ahead. |

did I misunderstand or is young Master Candler also visually challenged, making his accomplishments even more stunning?

| Yes , Jonathan is visually challanged. You can hit a chord on your guitar and just by listening he will tell you what it is. |

Johnathan may not see, but his ears are very open,
and his sense of humor is rather direct also.
He has what I think is a long term traceotomy in place also.
I met him 2 times in St Louis, and heard him play and the kids got it.
Lots of older types were trying steels left and right, but this guy was up there tearing it up on the stage after one year with a teacher...
Go Johanathan. |

I read that the hardest thing for the American Indians was to wear shoes. They said
how can you walk with blindfolds on your feet. I heard Jonathan in St.Louis and was
amazed with his ability. It makes me think
when people come into my store and give me
excuses for not being able to play an instrument. There is only one. You don't want to. |
