Wow Augutus,
So many folks no longer with us. Brings back alot of memories. These are great.
How about someone naming the folks. That would be a great challenge on some.

Wow that does bring back a lot of memories. I went to the convention in '74, '76, '78, and '80, then didn't make it back until '90. Some of these guys I don't remember, somebody tell us who they all are.

Augustus-Wonderful Classic Photos of so many years ago. As for me being an old Pioneer myself, I can recognize just about every one in the Photos, except one. Later, I will ,if I have the time,compile a list from Pic #1 on and see how close I can get naming all of them. 
The picture #1 with little Jimmy Dickens on the left was my specal good friend of many years, Jimmy Yates, a fine steeler playing a Emmons most of his life, with a Midie that he istalled himself,Played Both necks equally well, a great guy, He is gone, from Parkinson's Disease,but I still miss him. His wife Kathy was his musical partner, and very talented gal, and lives in Hendersonville, TN....al.

Hook, those are the ones I recognized, plus I think that might be a very young Johnny Cox. I think the picture of Randy might be before "77.

I think photo #21 is Johnny Cox, and #11 might be a very young Zane King. I think photos #8 and 9 are Paul F.
I want to say the hippy looking fellow is Pat Heller, but it's been a long time since I've run into Pat.
#23 looks like Bob Maickel to me.

| Hey Al. Unless I'm peering out from behind something, I don't see myself in any of those pictures. The only guy that looks a bit like I look is the fellow who brought the "World's Smallest Pedal Steel Guitar" to the Convention. Which guy resembles me (remember, I had a very slick pate away back then!). ...Tom |

Great memories of D.J. week at the Road Venture Inn, maybe?
Chick Beekley was wearing the Sho Bud shirt. He worked at Sho Bud when I did.
The drummer with Paul is Randy Hauser, who is no longer with us.
I noticed gentle Ben playing bass in one of the pictures.
Great times, priceless! |

I think #21 is Tommy White and #23 is Smiley, not Tom Bradshaw, I met Tom Bradshaw who should be in the SGHOF for all he has done for steel guitar, in Napa, Calif in 1968. ...great picltures...al.

Al, Tom Bradshaw is in the HOF already, and for those reasons, so rest easy.
CTTOI, #23 does look like Smiley. What happened? Did he have reverse cosmetic surgery? 
Only joking! I luvs ya Smiles!!

Al ,
I'm not in the photos. I remember that era very well though. It was an inspiring time for pedal steel guitar.
Always my best,

Upon reflection, #23 might be Cox, but it might also be Robby Turner. I met him that year, when he was 13 and playing at Bad Bob's in Memphis.
