I have known John for a long time now. He used to work for me in my music store. He is a great musician and one of the best Guitar Repairmen in the biz. He is also a good person and a very good teacher.

Good luck, John. While i'm at it, that was a great set you played at the Mesa show. That Williams sounded just great. If you ever play out this way let me know. Again, best of luck.

A few years back, I was visiting Phoenix, and mentioned it on SGF. He posted his gig and invited me to drop in. Although I'm an unknown Canadian, he treated me like visiting royalty. He also played very well, as did the band. It's something I won't forget.

Thanks! It's good to hear from you guys. Stop in if you're ever in the area.
Val, I spent a night in your town a couple years ago. We were headed to LA from Vegas and blew a timing belt off of the truck. Luckily I won a progressive jackpot ($1200) the night before on the "strip". I left half of it in Hesperia (Repairia)!

I also recommend John the first time I saw him play was the first time I saw a pedal steel and He has a style no one can copy. BTW John I have found that your basic grocery cart has chrome rods that can push and pull. If you have a cd after rad country I want one.

If anyone can build a Steel Guitar completely out of a shopping cart you would be the one Joe! One word of advice, leave the wheels on it (and the baby seat as an option).
