Buddy, as a man associated with steel guitar and the industry and as a man living in North Carolina, I am embarrassed that such an attack on you came from this State. I was hurt when Randy felt the need to defend you and even more so when you yourself felt the need to explain. I have had other encounters with this same individual that involved a young lady who is also a steel player here in North Carolina. In that instance, he sent numerous threatening and degrading e-mails to her to such an extint that she actually feared for her safety. I contacted Mr Stegal and informed him of the next consequences for his actions and of course he went off on me for a bit. I have seen this man on only one other occassion after that and at that time he walked up to me at a jam and said that he hoped there were no hard feelings and that he was once again taking his medication. I would like to believe that this is the case once again to explain his babbling ons here. Marvin...get back on the medication. You are doing nothing here but embarrassing yourself and making enemies. Finally about the airplane thing....We were all out in the yard grilling chicken and drinking pretty heavy one day. A small plane was coming in for a landing at the airport just past my house and I was looking up at it. Well a song came on the radio (I was told later when I sobbered up) and apparently you were playing steel on that record. All I heard was someone say, "Hey, that's Buddy Emmons". Well I was looking right up into the cockpit and I swear I saw the guy looking back at me with a little derby on his head and he just grinned and stuck his tongue out at me. That's when I made the call. The time after that...about the eye...well I was drunk again and when I was passed out I thought you had came into my room and "zapped" me in the eye. That prompted the other call. It was only after that... that I found out Deb heard about the first phone call and while I was passed out she commenced to beatin the snot out of me and apparently stuck her finger in my eye in the process. I stopped drinking after that Buddy and have been remorseful about those calls ever since.  And one final note. Marvin I just know you are going to get the urge to pick up some stones and start chunckin em my way. Just remember we don't live very far apart and you know how sensitive I can be Sooner or later we will again see each other at a steel show or jam and it is my hope that it will be a pleasant meeting. Now do the right thing and apologize to Buddy and the rest of the folks here and things will be better because of that.Ray |

Bo… I’ve got one better. I just sent a letter off to Randy Beavers telling him I would have sent him the ten dollars I owe him but I sealed the envelope before I thought of it. |

This post is a perfect example of why we DON'T have more heavy weight pickers here on the forum. Buddy, you're the best period! Thanks for taking the time to explain something that really shouldn't concern any of us. A REAL class act for sure. Marvin, this post is a real shame. Whats more of a shame is the fact that we have to point out to a grown man that someones personal business AIN'T NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. maybe you outta consider joining a quilting club. I hear they really love gossiping. Rick |

No, Mr. E didn't have to explain, but I'm always glad to learn a little more steel guitar history. But he did share, which brings me to my point. A little sideways from the topic, but what the hey. I hear a lot that God gives us gifts and that we should share them. A man with great talent, it's going to be hard not to share it; eventually that talent is going to make it onto a record. It just happens, and he's going to want to share. It's in the nature of things. But the public starts to want him to share everything, him being viewed as disproportionately rich in talents. Better to take a look at the gifts you are given than to be looking for others to share their gifts. [A footnote on Lao Tzu ("Those who say don't know; those who know don't say.") It is said that he lived to be 160. |

Ray Walker, I deeply appreciate your in-depth description of my flight over your house. I knew my phantom caller was either hallucinating or trying to muscle in on your turf because he didn’t mention the derby hat or my sticking my tongue out at him. By the way, have you mowed your back yard yet? I want to thank everybody for their contributions to this thread. Ron Lashley Jr. inherited a good company and a few problems so I wish the best for him. I believe your positive responses have reflected the same. Thanks to Randy Beavers for his candor, Charlie McDonald for his insight on Tao Teh Ching, and I hope this is the beginning of the end for this topic.

If there were only one Automobil to drive and we wanted to drive, that is what we would purchase, BUT since there are a number of Automobil's avaliable and we ask others for their openion as to what we should purchase ( We expect those who drive a certain Make or Model to be some what bias) They would tell up what they like or dislike about their Vehicle and also suggeat some features they would prefer that are not standard. So there are a number of PSG Makes and Models,Some are New Names in the Field Some are long time well established Names and some have been discontinued. You can put a pritty girl on the hood of a car but does that make it drive any better, it might get you to the dealership. But there is one thing I think we all do no matter what brings us to the dealership the advise we get or the pritty girl. WE LIKE TO TAKE A TEST DRIVE, before we make up our mind. So When it comes to PGA's Play a Few before you Write the Check. It sounds to me like you already have done that. Wayne |

Well two weeks ago I fell down the stairs, about three or four steps from the landing, had an umbrella in my left hand and and did some severe damage (thank God no broken bones) to the tendons. I couldn't hold a bar in my left hand and not being able to play until yesterday has been driving me nuts. I even tried duct taping one of my wife's combs to the brace; just what can happen in one careless moment. This has certainly been entertaining although now I'm afraid if I ever get the opportunity to say hello to Buddy in person, would he call security? |

I just want to know where you can obtain one of these eye-zapping transmitters... I can think of a couple of uses for that What is it like EYE-FI instead of Y-FI?(Okay I stole that from a Conan O'Brien skit) |

Fun free entertainment! I do wonder how to zap ones eye. I also wonder what happens to one after being zapped in the eye while asleep. |

I've heard that if you put tin foil in your wife's bra or the bottom of your shoes, it will soak up any rays/frequencies that anyone may emmit, so give it a whirl. It's safer than sitting around trashing others. |

Marvin, If you want to avoid a lawsuit, don’t make any more remarks about how the company “done me wrong.” It takes two to enter an agreement and if there’s any blame, I’ll take it for not having the business savvy to enter it in a business like manner. That’s the way a court would see it and so be it. If you owe anyone an apology, it’s Ron Jr. The company is his baby now and he’s doing everything possible to meet his obligations. I believe he’ll do fine if you stay out of his way. End of story |
