Andy that was great! First time I ever saw an interview with Speedy.
He was certainly one of my steel guitar heros
back in the 50's and he's right ...his music still stands out to-day.

Thanks for this post. Speedy "paved the way" and "opened the door" for all of us. I visited with him in Tulsa at the OSGA show and he is still the same old Speedy as always. He will answer your questions and talk to you at length about his career and the steel guitar. He and his beautiful wife Mary are an International Treasure. Best regards, Jody. |
