As many of you know from our posting here, Wayne Simmons' lacquer Carter D-10 was stolen from his home in April of this year by a boarder while Mr. Simmons was in the hospital.
G-O-O-D N-E-W-S ... Steel Player does the right thing again!
Tommy Detamore called us around September 12 asking about a lacquer D-10 Carter, which he saw at a pawn shop for $1,695 or so.
As soon as he learned from us it was stolen, he became determined to see that the rightful owner received his Carter back.
I just talked with Wayne Simmons and he received his Carter from the Sheriff's Dept last night (and is a VERY happy camper). It's in great condition (just as he remembers it).
As a small token of Carter Steel Guitars' appreciation for his doing the right thing, we are sending Tommy Detamore a TurboWinder and Korg CA30.
Congratulations to Tommy Detamore for being a great human being and doing the right thing.

And once again it confirms that there are many wonderful people in this world. As sad as I felt for Wayne's loss when I first read the post. I am equally elated, and joyous, that he got it back.

I met TD on a Cory Morrow gig about a year and a half ago and have proceeded to pester him on a steady basis since. He always makes time to talk and/or help.... class guy.
Oh yeah..also claims to be a pool player... we'll see

Gosh, thanks y'all...The folks at Carter are to be commended for keeping such good records. Without that I would have had a harder time tracking down Wayne. And it's great they cared enough to make that post back in April (which I guess I missed).
And wow, a Turbo winder and a tuner? Ann, you must have heard me play and figured I needed some help 
Rack 'em, BT! |

As I stated in another thread I finaly crossed paths with Tommy last week at a Haybale Gig. I had never seen a picture so I was pleasantly surprized when told who was playing steel. We had been talking online since 1999 when Ed Burlson's disk came out.

| Wayne Simmons called me last night to invite me and my wife out for a seafood dinner. Now that's classy! Let's see, hmmm...a tuner, a tuna, a new steel guitar friend and neighbor....Now that's your basic "win-win" situation! |
