I said earlier this spring at a practice session: Do I want to learn Sleepwalk now after all these years. The answer was yes !!

| I just purchased Gary Carpenter's CD, "Steel Guitar Favorites", and he plays a beautiful version of Sleepwalk. We should be hearing more steel player play this great song now that the originators are in the SHF. |

I get a request for "sleepwalk" every time I go out to play. It is really a very pretty song. Sounds good on both E9 or C6.....al  |

Congratulations to both inductees. Sure wish I could have been there.
Paul, take a listen to Tom Brumlys version of Sleepwalk on his new cd In Time. It blows me away. Simply the best I've heard. Cheers to all. The ole Stump. |

| One of my fondest convention memories happened in the Derby room. I was playing an instrumental version of "Crazy" on steel and saw two feet appear in front of me as I was looking down at the fret board. When I finished I looked up and it was Pee Wee. He said "very nice arrangement son". I told Pee Wee that I couldn't believe he liked it. He said to just keep playing because he was learning just watching me. He was very sincere. It was a very big compliment coming from him and it made me realize that everyone has something to offer. A real gentelman. |

| Terry Bethel's version of "Sleep Walk" on his new CD is beautiful, in fact, the whole project is unbelievable, tone, execution, material, some of the best I've heard in a while. He obviously has put in a lot of time perfecting his craft. |

| It is one of the very very few steel instrumentals that hit the charts big time. A classic. |

I guess it's time to start our NORM HAMLET for SGHoF campaign. I never know where those nominations end up, but judging from the list of players in, and not in, I'd say it's about time for Norm to be so honored.
I don't know how many albums Merle Haggard has recorded, but he titled "My 30th Album" way back in 1974/75. Norm has played steel and dobro on the vast majority of Hag's recordings, and has been the Strangers' steeler for about 34-35 years now. We're talking quite a large number of #1 hits there.

Norm attended the ISGC this year.
He didn't perform, but I spoke with him.
He's an excellent canidate, IMO.
The nomination procedure is described at http://www.scottysmusic.com/abouthof.htm

| Sincere Congrats to Pee Wee for this well deserved recognition-his induction segment did not feature the fanfare and celebrity testimonials that have been given to some prior Hall of Fame Players-and Pee Wee in his humbleness expressed some self-reservation whether he deserved this award-which I feel he does-and I also think Pee Wee should get the award for being on of the nicest human beings on the planet |
