April 10 2021: I travel I-70 between Kansas City and Central PA from time to time and when I'm about FM range from St. Louis I tune into FM 88.1. To my surprise there was some mention of the International Steel Guitar Convention (of course gone not forgotten). A little tribute to Scotty by the announcer. It was mentioned it was the anniversary of Scotty's birthday April 10, so played a piece by Scotty. I really miss those convention days. I looked up the playlist from that Saturday and found here. A lots of other fine steel guitar numbers. I don't think you can actually listen to the archived playlist, but there are what look to be some sound snippets but very limited.

| Scott Dewitt recording of a Hawaiian type piece. Recorded, in case I caused any confusion. The announcer of the radio broadcast was talking about Scotty and the times when we would gather in St. Louis from all over the world. |

That would be Dewitt Scott. The late proprietor of Scotty's Music in St. Louis, author of a number of steel guitar instruction books, and founder of the International Steel Guitar Convention that was held in St. Louis annually.
I had the good fortune to hear him play lap steel at the last Steelin' For Hearts show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. His playing was a major highlight of the show, which otherwise featured pedal steel greats--Buddy Charleton, Herby Wallace, Jimmie Crawford, John Hughey, Buck Reid. Six strings and no pedals, and I liked his playing as much as any of the others. |

I saw him at a few steel guitar shows in either Wisconsin or Iowa.
He just liked to play his Rickenbacker frypan.
And he was good at it.
