Author	Topic: Original Emmons LuLu Mug and Finger Picks
Dennis Detweiler Member From: Solon, Iowa, US	posted 12 October 2004 07:27 PM profile For Sale: Buddy's original LuLu booze mug from 1978 International Convention. Also, original set of Buddy's custom made finger and thumb picks. The finger picks are made of cobalt for "that tone". The thumb pick was made by Buddy from the plastic nose cone of a 1951 Studebaker. Make an offer! DD
Buddy Emmons Member From: Hermitage, TN USA	posted 13 October 2004 02:15 AM profile Thirty two cents.
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 13 October 2004 03:21 AM profile Thirty five........but I also want a pair of Buddys old sneakers......Cobalt????????. Old Cars?????? I was making picks from Buddys old records..I thought I could get a few licks..... Having fun.. JD ------------------ There is no such thing as too many steels!!
David Decker Member From: Canton, Ohio, USA	posted 13 October 2004 03:29 AM profile Thirty one cents!! I'd like to see Buddy get his things back!
Buddy Emmons Member From: Hermitage, TN USA	posted 13 October 2004 04:38 AM profile I appreciate the thought David, and I do miss that Studebaker thumb pick. And Jack; I found some old sneakers I had custom made out of repossessed burlap that I wore one time while greasing a 1947 Packard. I stored them with a roll of Life Savers in each one, so I can assure you they are in mint condition.
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 13 October 2004 05:37 AM profile The question my friends.......is what am I doing at this time of morning even looking at the net.....But anyway,,, Buddy could you sent me some picts......I might have a buyer for the life savers......and if you talk to Ron Elliott ask him if he likes his guitar.....maybe there is a possibility of a package deal.... JD PS: By the way,,,, there seems to be a lot of BE played this guitar or owned the one for sale on the forum. I couldn't bare to add another thread to the long list.

Buddy Emmons Member From: Hermitage, TN USA	posted 13 October 2004 09:55 AM profile Jack, I asked Ron if he likes his guitar and he said yes. When I asked him why he said he didn’t know, so I dropped it. He did want one of the burlap sneakers without the Life Savers so I'm putting both rolls aside for you. I agree on the pre-owned steel business. If I had the money from all the guitars people claim used to be mine I could open up a steel guitar shop in Hendersonville.
John Daugherty Member From: Rolla, Missouri, USA	posted 13 October 2004 10:09 AM profile Jack, I didn't want to tell this about Buddy, but now the time is ripe. I saw Buddy in St.Louis,walking down Broadway,wearing one shoe. I said "hey Buddy, did you lose a shoe?". He said "Nope, I found one"............. by the way Jack, when are going to learn how to spell Daugherty? ..yukyukyuk.......JD
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 13 October 2004 07:17 PM profile Hi Again...... Just got back from the monthly steel meeting. Lots of interest in the sneakers if Ron's deal falls through. The Life Savers should be held over for a garage sale. And Buddy,,, I thought Ron had already dropped the guitar.......must have been the bad ear.... However, I can unequivicly say at one time Buddy played my guitar....never owned it...and most likely wished I would have dropped it...and it's not for sale!! John... as to the spelling....any time I go west of Florida the pronounciation as well as the spelling usually goes south. But the nice thing is we both have vowels. In some circles that could mean money and a free spin!! Buddy....if you have more of those LULU Mugs send me one......$.25 JD
Ernest Cawby Member From: Lake City, Florida, USA	posted 13 October 2004 09:22 PM profile BUDDY jACK d TOLD ME ABOUT THIS POST TODAY AT THE jAM, i BID .40.

Gene Jones Member From: Oklahoma City, OK USA	posted 14 October 2004 04:22 AM profile The market is "over-stimulated" on those products made from 51 Studebaker nose cones, and no longer within reach of the average investor. My financial advisor tells me not to buy fingerpicks until those mfg from the catfish grills of 1958 Edsels hit the market, as they will be more reasonably priced! www.genejones.com
Matt Hutchinson Member From: London, UK	posted 14 October 2004 05:31 AM profile I've got a '58 Plymouth made entirely out of thumb picks if anyone's interested
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 14 October 2004 05:54 AM profile Gentlemen!!!! Have we no shame!!!! Poor Dennis was jist trying to make a sale..... OK the last bid was for $.40.....do I hear $.50???? In addition to Buddy's sneakers.....I have been told there are used oil rags that may soon be available.....Some were used to clean his guitars..... Folks....as you all know signiture oil rags are not a common product......These babies will go fast!!!! JD
Dennis Detweiler Member From: Solon, Iowa, US	posted 14 October 2004 07:14 AM profile I'm just sitting back waiting on a bidding war between BE and BS. If that goes well, then I'll put the rare Emmons experimental "Flint Bar" on the block. Last used when Buddy hammered the last chord on "Does Your Chewing Gum Loose It's Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight" and Little Jimmy's pants caught fire. DD
Buddy Emmons Member From: Hermitage, TN USA	posted 14 October 2004 08:21 AM profile Dennis, Yes, I remember that night so well. Little Jim looked like Hopalong Cassidy riding a Saturn rocket as he bounded about the stage, frantically beating at the smoldering ruins of his brand new Nudie britches. And how did he take it? The next day I called him “Hoppy” for short, but not for long. I’ll give you a dollar three eighty five for the bar. Winter’s coming on and I could set it by my fireplace and hit it with an andiron.
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 14 October 2004 08:34 AM profile Dennis... I don't know if you sold anything ......but I'm guessing your a pretty good sport about all the threads since your posting......It's good to have a laugh every now and then .. J
Buddy Emmons Member From: Hermitage, TN USA	posted 14 October 2004 08:57 AM profile That's what I get for being serious.
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 14 October 2004 11:43 AM profile Well Now!!! This changes everything.....OK the Emmons rags are back on the market..... Save all your used car parts as Buddy has most likely driven one and has manufactured some part for the descriminating steel player..... Dennis.... you may have started something....rumor had it that BE was in the market for a new line of steel goodies....as it seems others in Nashville have decided to negotiate to the highest bidder things he never had anyway.......So let the games begin......

Ron Elliott Member From: Madison, Tennessee, USA	posted 14 October 2004 02:21 PM profile Hey Jack (can't say Hijack in your business).It's good to see you have a little time on the forum,knowing you are so busy. If you took-off from the northwestern part of Oklahoma, would that be called "Flying off the Handle"? I had Charlie to install a pair of Geo.L's 10-1 pickups. I played them at a live show in Louisville and in the studio today, they sounded great,..clean, heavy, and cutty, very responsive. Guitar is doing just fine,..it's starting to get used to me(that takes some doing) I'm about fussy as Buddy. Buddy and I had some lifesavers yesterday along with some good Mexican food. We sure enjoyed the day(as always) Stay in touch, My best regards to you, Ron
Dennis Detweiler Member From: Solon, Iowa, US	posted 14 October 2004 07:21 PM profile Jack, just sitting here doing some "serious"thinking again. And after looking at Buddy's story about lighting up Little Jimmy, Buddy's instrumental, "Raisin' The Dickens" must have saved Jimmy embarrassment from the original title "Blazin' The Dickens"? Oh yeah!...Would you believe, I also have Buddy's old boxing gloves with Lionel Rose's nose blood still on them? On a serious topic, I wonder what a bar made of polished rock would sound like? DD
Brendan Mitchell Member From: Melbourne Australia	posted 15 October 2004 12:48 AM profile I'm just reading this and wondering how the hell Lionel Rose gets a metion on the Pedal Steel Guitar Forum ! Brendan
Brendan Mitchell Member From: Melbourne Australia	posted 15 October 2004 12:51 AM profile Whoops [This message was edited by Brendan Mitchell on 15 October 2004 at 12:52 AM.]
Farris Currie Member From: Ona, Florida, USA	posted 15 October 2004 03:20 AM profile MAN i'm learning things!Jeff Newman said you could heat those thumb pick and form them like you want them,well,i take them out in the shop,light the torch and everytime i touch one it just dissappears!! now,learning from you guys!i'm gonna cut a pc.off old john deer fender today,build a good fire in my forge,and hammer me some out.I plan to paint them John Deere green!! might be taking orders if anyone wants some!
B.Jenkins Member From: Parkersburg, WV...U.S.A	posted 15 October 2004 03:55 AM profile Buddy, If you had all of those steels they said that you owned, what would you call your music store in Hendersonville? Would you call playboy to hire a office manager? I would like to have the job of screening them, So it would take some of the preasure off of you, That away you could check out for more of your steels from the past, and box up your old T-shirts, sneakers, socks and anything else you could run through the store..

Mike Weirauch Member From: Harrisburg, Illinois**The Hub of the Universe	posted 15 October 2004 07:48 AM profile To hell with the picks and cup, I want the 1951 Studebaker!
John Daugherty Member From: Rolla, Missouri, USA	posted 15 October 2004 09:28 AM profile ____________________________________________ On a serious topic, I wonder what a bar made of polished rock would sound like? DD --------------------------------------------- Dennis, I think "rock" is the definitive word here. Definitely not "country". Come to think of it... Back in my younger days I was in a few "Rock Bars" when I played a '54 Strat but they wouldn't let me bring my steel inside the place........JD
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 15 October 2004 09:45 AM profile John.... Don't feel bad.....Some people wouldn't let me bring my steel in either...........And that was a country bar!!! DD,,,,,,I'm thinking of using lug nuts from a 47 Ford for tuners. Do you think there's a market???? Chrome of course!! JD

Brian Wetzstein Member From: Seattle, WA, USA	posted 15 October 2004 11:00 AM profile Someone once gave me an old t-shirt worn by Ginger Baker along with a pair of drumsticks. I couldn't keep the shirt because it smelled so bad! Maybe the life-savers do the trick in the shoes, but I will never know!!! eeewwwwww! Heck, I will give you a dollar just to keep em'!!! brian
Buddy Emmons Member From: Hermitage, TN USA	posted 15 October 2004 12:14 PM profile Too late Brian. I just sold them to Ginger Baker for five dollars.
Ron Elliott Member From: Madison, Tennessee, USA	posted 15 October 2004 01:47 PM profile BE, is Ginger any relation to Cookie?? Lucas
Jennings Ward Member From: Edgewater, Florida, USA	posted 15 October 2004 01:54 PM profile DANG, DANG, DANG, I wanted the shoes for my self. I heard they were good for flat footed pickers. Oh well maybe next time, Buddy Give me right of first refusal.... Jennings...... We play steel for the beautifull angelic sound of it. ------------------ EMMONS D10 10-10 profex 2 deltafex ne1000 pv1000, pv 31 bd eq, +
Jack Dougherty Member From: Spring Hill, Florida, USA	posted 15 October 2004 02:52 PM profile I can't remember the last time so much was for sale for so little...... Folks we must start to show some forum decorum... We must agree if we are to sell any of Mr. E's past and future possessions we should stop at the undergarments. We should only consider the things he has owned or touched. Which of itself opens a whole new market. This is just a cottage industry now.....but I can see world wide distribution.... However in the interest of fairness I think BE should be told when sales are pending. Ron I don't think Ginger and Cookie were related as Ginger shortened his name from Bakerschocolate Cookie is related to the Cutter family.....I hope this clears things up.. JD
Ron Elliott Member From: Madison, Tennessee, USA	posted 15 October 2004 03:02 PM profile Jack, if you'll check with BE, I think he has about 3 pair of old britches that need selling bad,..there may be more. Ron [This message was edited by Ron Elliott on 15 October 2004 at 03:03 PM.]
Frank Parish Member From: Nashville,Tn. USA	posted 15 October 2004 04:54 PM profile .41!
Farris Currie Member From: Ona, Florida, USA	posted 16 October 2004 01:56 AM profile no false claims,i got the real thing!!!ONE FOR THE ROAD!!signed BUDDY EMMONS,Man it is in great shape to,i never could get my wife to take the hint!!BUDDY standing there with that bucket of LULU,and poor wife unloading the steel.Great job BUDDY!! farris
Dennis Detweiler Member From: Solon, Iowa, US	posted 16 October 2004 05:47 AM profile Ron, You're probably getting Cookie Baker mixed up with Cookie Monster, the famous drummer? Ron and BE, if CD sales slow down and you're pretty much retired, smelly clothing articles will always auction last. Shania Twain's slightly soiled clothing is already selling better than Elvis personally used concert hankerchiefs and sweat towels. In fact, that Cove outfit that Buddy wore during the live video taping would sell big time to many deserving ladies if he hasn't washed it yet. This is a big market. Maybe even both of your Mexican dining clothes from the past week? DD
John Daugherty Member From: Rolla, Missouri, USA	posted 16 October 2004 06:27 AM profile I don't think Buddys old clothes can compete with this. FOR SALE: ONE SLIGHTLY SPOTTED DRESS. WORN ONE TIME IN OVAL OFFICE...call 888-888-I812 and ask for Monica.
Farris Currie Member From: Ona, Florida, USA	posted 16 October 2004 06:32 AM profile JOHN!!whats the going price on that!!!ha ha BUDDYS great, but thats just not hardly fair!!!
