Thanks Ken for posting about Wayne. As you know Wayne and I played together for many years. I had just called him 2 weeks ago and knew then he was not doing well but had no idea we were this close to losing him. I thank God for having him as a friend these many past years. He was one of the good guys.

I too had talked with Wayne by phone a few weeks ago. Aside from his memory giving him fits, he sounded good. While we both are from the Oklahoma City area, I never got a chance to play with him until I started attending the OKC area Steel Guitar jams each month. He did a great job selecting good tunes for us to play. He hadn't lost his great musicianship and stage presence he was known for when he had his band. He really loved the Pedal Steel.

About a year ago, I had to get a picture of him sporting a custom shirt he and his band wore while playing the old Westerneer Club in Oklahoma City. I think he was pretty tickled he could still get it to button!

I will sure miss you, old buddy!

Oh man...I too met Wayne at the OKC jam. Wayne was a blast to play with and it was a complete and total honor to meet him! He seemed to know every song a pedal steel player would ever care to play...his generosity and giving you room to solo/ride, was unmatched. Godspeed Wayne...

I am shocked by the loss of Hutch. We first met at TAFB many years ago when he came to work in my office in computer programing. We had alot in common because I was a want-to-be pedal steel guitar player, and Hutch was a band leader.

We continued a close friendship thru the Okla City Steel Guitar JAM. Unfortunately we had to close the JAM due to his health and mine also.

Hutch loved Pedal steel guitar and was happy when I could get big time players to come to the JAM. His favorite song was "Together Again".

RIP

Will sorely miss Wayne. We talked often in the last years. We played many jobs together and were close friends for all that time. My condolences to his wife Bert and his entire family. He was truly a good person and always kind to everyone. RIP. Ken Collins
