was on the CMT show about pedal steel guitars. He showed how the instrument works and the credit line said he was a member of the Country Music Hall Of Fame. I'm ashamed to admit I've never heard of him....anyone have any more information or background on him ??  Regards, Paul |

I've never heard of him either, but I thought he just worked at the Hall of Fame Museum, and not a member. I'll have to run through my tape again to see what was said about him. |

Bob Kramer is an employee of the "Hall of Fame", not a member, being an employee pays a lot better than being a member. I wonder if I could be an employee of the "Steel Guitar Hall of Fame" , and what does this organization pay? Yep, better to be an employee, I think I'd rather have the money than a plaque on the wall at the bottom of a hotel that nobody sees but once a year and won't look like me anyway.( I know they'd spell my name wrong too!) Something I'll never have to worry about. I love steel guitar.I'd better, it's to late to change professions now,so I shouldn't work for the hall of fame anyhow! Anybody need any strings?

Bob played with Stonewall Jackson for awhile. He picks purty good! I saw him at the Trobadour Theatre one night on the midnight Jamboree. But, he seems to be an extremely nervous person when playing. I noticed he squrms, makes faces & moves around alot while playing. He would point at each other band member when they were suppose to play during the song. NR |

Being band leader for the nite on a live radio show might make me nervous too.But maybe he just had just to much coffee? |

I've known Bob for years and he's played my insrtument plenty of times. I never noticed any nervousness. Maybe there were too many girlfriends in the room who knows. |
