Thank you for the emails. I've always thought that any musician would enjoy just sitting, playing, and relaxing with an instrument for the fun of it. You said you don't sit and play just to relax. Of course I'm not a working musician. So I was just curious. When you said that you don't just sit and play to relax did you mean that every time you play in private that you are working on something steel guitar wise?

It is easy to play the steel guitar. Playing so that the audience finds it pleasing is the difficult act. |

.........No, I just don't ever sit and play. Not for any reason, it is no longer plesant to do so. sorry.
But I love talking to all you guys and hashing old memories. Remember I played solid for over sixty years, I need a break,
However, I CAN still play, just don't want to.

| Perfectly understandable answer Bobbe. Talk about putting in your dues and being a part of history. Sometimes it's good to leave something alone for a while. When/if you come back to it, it'a approached with refreshness. I pick up a fishing pole. |

Yes Joe, I'll be here, I love my business, I love what steel has done for me and my relationship with it, I'd just rather help others with steel and their
love for it, help them play it, and I'd rather be an asset to others through my love for the instrument itsself. I love the guitar and what it can do, I'm just not into boreing myself by playing it just to hear myself make noise  .
Want to talk about it or how its made, or possibly any aspect of teaching new players more tricks? I'm the guy, I have many new things to do to help others and I feel that this is my calling for the future.
Kevin, your love for the instrument is obvious, I love seeing a person's drive and passion like yours and Joe's, this is a great thing, you really have it.
I still love the guitars and still like playing music from the past on my collection of Emmons P-P, Bigsbys, Sho-Bud Perms, it's a form of going back in my life and saying hello to what I have left behind. It's something I'll never lose,,,,I hope.
Then there are the people, I never want to lose track of any of them, but as we know, there is an end to everything, and Sherman, the second half of your questio is a YES, when I sit down to play now it IS to work something out, I should do it more.
Your buddy,
Bobbe
Your friend as ever,

Hey Bobbe:
Everytime that I have visited you....on many occasions...sometime during my visit you have sat down and played for me. I want you to know just how much I appreciate it. Looking forward to the next time. I hope soon. |
