I thought Bobbe made some excellent points and good advice this week but this statement bothered me a little:
"Most of us, as steel guitar players, are familiar with one of the most recorded steel guitarists in the world who owned his own studio and publishing company in Nashville who was never known as a great player, but accomplished much more in his life than the player who is considered by most to be the foremost steel guitarist of all time."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can fill in the names Pete Drake and Buddy Emmons here. As far as I know, Buddy never wanted to travel the same path as Pete and accomplished just as much in his own way. I could be way off here, but that's how I took it. I still look forward to Bobbe's emails every week, so please let me know if I've filled in the wrong names.

Dont know if you filled in the blanks properly or not ,but I will say: Bobbe made some very fine points as far as forgive and forget is concerned. How many times in all of our lives have we all been through that?
I for one have a hard time letting things go...I will try to do better in the future.
Pete Drake is one my top players of all time. Buddy is,....well Buddy.Probably hands down the most famous steel guitarist of all time....But I try to stay away from labels They tend to make things too cut and dry.My good friend Bobbe Seymour has a heart as big as his love for the steel guitar.I hope he keeps sending this news letter for many years to come....Gotta go,
Marty Muse and the Derailers are cued up on my VCR ! Best regards...

One wrong name. Both of who I was refering to have died, this is why they won't be mentioned by name. Keep guessing, it's pretty obvious if lived in the steel community in the 60s thru the 80's.

However, now that more thought has been slated for this subject, there are several names that may apply here, in both slots.
This is just a fact of human nature that applies to many folks, in all walks of life.
Personality: honesty, consideration, ability to give, being sincerily pleasant, being positive, helpful to all, having no jealousy, are few things that will help get a person by in any closed society, especially all parts of the music world.
Anomosity toward anyone is a sure killer of the soul, a career and a future in the business.

Bobbe straightened me out via email. I won't give it away, but suffice it to say he wasn't dissing my all-time hero, BE.

Anyone that wishes to have "Nashville Steel Guitar news" e-mails on Mondays and the "Bobbe's Tips" on Thursdays, can sign up from my web-page. I try to give important and interesting steel guitar information out on these two days, every week. We have over 30,000 readers in the world now and the number is growing.
Any subjects you wish me to cover, I'm open to suggestions. Remember, I'm here for you.
I try to keep the mailings to two pages or less and keep the info to what industry players and music folks want and need to know.
Have something you think the steel world needs to know? The music world in general? Let me know, we cover a good portion of it now, and more coming every week.

Sonny is spending too much time fishing. He's retired on Center Hill Lake, Nashville area the last report I had. What a wonderful career this nice player had. He was the "other Bud Isaacs" with Webb Pierce in the fifties, worked the Opry for many many years. Everyone seemed to really appreciate his playing, and his personality.
Sonny, what a guy. [This message was edited by BobbeSeymour on 06 March 2005 at 10:44 PM.] |

Read my first post here Frank, if you do read. See where you may or may not fit in.
Let me know if you still don't agree, it will let me know where your head is. |

| Yes Joe, I was there in 1954, this night was the night that I made the decision to be a steel player forever, Jimmy Crawford was my hero from that date on. Glad you were there also. He sure played great didn't he! |
