| Hi: I have just purchased a brown laquer Super Pro from Tony Dischivia who lives in Ney York State. He told me he had bought it awhile back from Bobbe Seymour. When I opened the case the first thing I noticed was an inscription reading ---"Duane Marrs" Under his name it reads "The last Nashville". Also there is a small plague underneath the reads, "The Last Production Guitar" Dec. 12, 1884. Serial Number 13451. I was wondering if any of you might have owned this guitar sometime in the past or know anyone who did.-------------Eddie |

1884? Duane can't be THAT old?!? 
Seriously, Mr. Seymour would know. I own a guitar that was once owned by Bobbie.

Although I am constantly amused by the freedom that is taken on this forum with spelling, this one I just couldn't pass by:
"Also there is a small plague underneath..."
Ah. Lets keep that plague under the guitar before it gets out and kills a bunch of folks like the Bubonic Plague did back in the middle ages.
If it gets out we will have so many fatalities that we will have to erect a plaque in the memory of those who died from the plague.

Yes, I personally bought this guitar from a gentelman in Lebanon TN. that got it from David Jackson on '12, 84. He was the first and only owner when I got the guitar. I was also negotiating my Sho-Bud buy-out parts purchase deal when this guitar was being built and remember it well from that period.

| Perhaps the plague would cause plaque to form on the victim's teeth, and the discoverer of the cure would deserve a plaque on his wall. |

the 1884 brown laquer plague was'nt widespread enough to figure on a plaque

I thought I was the only one that got reprimanded for strange spelling!
I love it, and I'm not alone! Eddie, you've joined the club, now we can laugh together!
Now Miss Winnie, don't look to closely.
And take off those silly feet! Or what's better, post a picture of you playing steel with your orange and yellow feet! I can't find the picture you sent me. |

Bobbe,
Actually it is gentleman (le not el), but that is not important right now. I was just thinking, I have that picture, it is funny as hell, I will dig it out and send it to you.

Miss SeeMore-- and all others...
The pic of me with my "feet" is on my web-site at http://julianwinston.com and can be found (I believe) on page two of "Me and my Steel Guitar"-- all the way at the end when I'm talking about what kind of shoes to wear.
My real day job was, for 30 years, as a professor of design at a University where I made sure that my student were aware of how to use the English language and spell and punctuate.
In the business I was training them for, poor spelling meant no job.
Now, I am semi-retired from teaching, but working as an editor-- a job which lets me wield a red-pen with glee.
If one is so picky about getting the lick just like Buddy or Lloyd and understands that the way it is put together requires a certiain amount of finesse-- well our beautiful language deserves just as much respect.
Words, and the proper use of them, are the way we can communicate. Communication through writing is one of the things that makes us human. When we lose the ability to effectively communicate through the written word, we lose a piece of our humanity.

I've had a fairly good education. However, when I'm writing an email or a post on a board, I'm constantly amazed when I reread what I've written the number of typos or mispselled(ha ha) words I see. Things like using "there" when I meant "their". And I usually reread what I've written also. Sometimes when I'm barreling along typing it just rolls out the wrong way. I did pretty well in schools and colleges with English. There are all levels of understanding of the language, and I sure enjoy reading (and learning) from posts from those who may have had less formal education, but probably play instruments or do whatever 1,000 times better than myself. We all have our strengths. One of Mr. Winston's for instance, is having written probably the best and most popular Pedal Steel Guitar instruction book.
I apologize that I've let myself get so off topic along with others here, but I felt compelled to say something.

Although I didn't attend a university, if I was an editor, I would have to wield my red pen at the word "student" meaning singular, followed by the word "were" meaning plural in the post by MR. Winston. It seems that typo's can and will happen to the best of them.

Eddie Malray,
I am sorry that I along with others here got so off-topic.
Congratulations on your purchase of Sho-Bud history. I wish you many years of happiness with it.
Keep us posted about this unique instrument, and don't worry about typo's on this forum, as a lot of the best musicians in the world do not have the best command of the english language or a keyboard. That isn't what this forum is about anyway.

And I might add that I have great respect for Winnie Winston after having known him for 30+ years and also for my friend Eddie Malray that has been a friend and customer for several years. Yes, there are some really fine people on this great forum.
I'm happy to be here.
