Whatever happened to?

Jack Mansfield · From: Reno, NV

Whatever happened to these players Gene Hilts, Bill West, and Jimmy Webb!

Smiley Roberts · From: Hendersonville,Tn. 37075

Gene Hilts:
I'm not familiar with him.

Bill West:
The ex-husband of Country singer,Dottie West,still lives in the Tenn. area and,I believe,is involved in electronics. Bill is the one that had a lot to do with the inception of the "talking steel" that Pete Drake used.

Jim Webb:
If you're referring to "Big Jim" Webb,that played for Red Sovine & Del Reeves...he passed away several years ago,from cancer.

Hope this helps you.

Gene Hilts is alive and well and still pickin in the Western New York area.

Kevin Hatton and Gene recently made a trip to Canada for some 'Bud adjustments.

Maybe Kevin can add to this...

Gary Lee Gimble · From: Fredericksburg, VA.

I saw the other Jimmy Webb steel picker in Montana, back in 1977. I believe he lives around Seattle, Wa. now.

Antolina · From: Dunkirk NY

Gene lives near me in Dunkirk. I see him occaisionally when I can when he plays with his band.
I haven't seen him in months tho I'm looking for him.

Does anyone have a way to contact him?
