It took me awhile to figure out how to get to the right place to read posts. I want to thank everyone for being such good friends to Papa. He talked about you more than you can imagine.

Hello Doneva;
I am sorry for the loss of your Dad.
He was truly a special man. I never met him other than some emails back & forth & reading all of the posts he put up on this forum. I do not believe he ever met a stranger. He was always ready & willing to help anyone/ everyone who had any questions relating to the pedal steel guitar. he will be missed by many. Thank You for posting on here & hang around - you might get bit by this crazy steel bug also!!! Ron
"Tone is in the hands. Unless your wife will let you buy a new amp. Then it's definitely in that amp."

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.

Moon and I exchanged lots of emails over the years. When he disappeared from the Forum, I tracked down his telephone number and called him. We had a great visit that evening.

I sure do miss him.

Nice to know that the forum fills an important part of the lives of some of the people here.

I always enjoyed Moon talking about his Fender guitar.

Hi Ms. Doneva,
And welcome to our lil group. We sure miss your dad and share in your grief.
He was a complex man, yet simple in a lot of ways.
I think that was part of his appeal.
I remember him being one of the first to
welcome me when I joined the forum.
Come on in and enjoy the ride with us.

Glad to have you !
Just remember,
You don�t stop playing cause you get older,
