Well it’s confirmed. I’m a Pedal Steel Player. I got an email tonight telling me they've been reading comments I’ve been making on the Steel Guitar Forum telling me in so many words that I was a total AsHol.
Someone told me a long time ago you can always tell when a person got good on the Pedal Steel they turned into an AsHol.
I believe this to be true. I played lead guitar in a band and the first Pedal Steel player we had in the Band would pack up his Steel and go home in the middle of the show if things didn’t go his way. It seemed like he did this about 100 times and that’s hard to do since he only played with us 2 wks but he was good.
All I can say is that if the criteria for becoming a good Pedal Steel Player is to be an AsHol they are going to need a lot bigger building for the HALL OF FAME. |

I think I said egotistical, overbearing, opinionated, obnoxious, arrogant, rude, and agressive.
All very complimentary.
(Just kidding. It wasn't me..)
I think there's plenty of room on The Plaque in The Basement for a few more..

It wasn't Eric. The person was mostly complimenting me except for misspelling AsHol. Thanks! I do know now what the A meant when they said I was a type A personality. |

Bo, I've never claimed, or been told, that I am a great steel player.
I have been told with great emphasis that I am an extremely large AsHol.
Does that make me really great?

Brian LeBlanc and David Collins you guys are diffinatly Hall of Fame.
My X once told me "Everybody knows your an AsHol so why do you have to spend all day trying to prove it."
At the time I couldn't think of a good comeback. That's OK she didn't come back either. |
