Andy that was great! First time I ever saw an interview with Speedy.
He was certainly one of my steel guitar heros
back in the 50's and he's right ...his music still stands out to-day.

Hey, that was so cool, wow I loved that.

There's some more Speedy online, for those that haven't seen it please have a peek.

Andy, by the way... thanks for posting that!

I always enjoy reading about Speedy, I might be one of those nervous types if I got a chance to speak with him... LOL

Thanks for this post. Speedy "paved the way" and "opened the door" for all of us. I visited with him in Tulsa at the OSGA show and he is still the same old Speedy as always. He will answer your questions and talk to you at length about his career and the steel guitar. He and his beautiful wife Mary are an International Treasure. Best regards, Jody.
