My buddy in Australia is sending me some steel guitar music by Rob E.G, also know as Robie Porter. I see some data on the internet about him, just wondering if anybody can comment on him. Picture attached. George

Handsome guy George. Years ago I had a "swivel" bar which had the ring also. I never used it. I had a student at the time who was physically restricted. He could not move the left hand fingers to a slant position without dropping the bar...I had the natural solution and gave this bar to him. Over the ensuing years I lost tract of him.

Well, we know a bit more about him. Thanks Brad. My Ausie buddy is sending an LP of Rob E.G. and I'm kind of keen on hearing it. I wonder if he still has his guitar or stand.....I would buy them!!!!!!!!

I noticed the swivel ring bar, and was wondering if anybody would notice it also!!!!
