Bobbe said he made a mistake maaaaaany posts back. Guess a lot of people don't stop and think that Bobbe has more steels go through his shop in a month than most of us see in our lifetimes, it's easy to forget what came from where and who. Bobbe isn't stupid enough to post on his site that it was BE's guitar if he hadn't believed it was true. So he made a mistake. If I'd had the money to spare I would've bought that steel even though it wasn't BE's, but I admit it would be an extra kick to have an instrument owned by BE or another great player. I don't believe all the too-cool-for-school guys here who say they don't care if BE or some famous player owned a particular instrument. I'd bet if you called them right now and said "hey, I just found out you've got BE's/Chalker's/Jimmy Day's/Lloyd Green's/whoever's old steel!", they'd be turning cartwheels around their living rooms.

I think most of us have forgotten the origins of this thread (oh, yes - now I remember...), but it has all the ingredients for perpetual motion - Buddy Emmons' name on the marquee, and a chance to have fun with Seymour. I've been out most of the day, and it's doubled in length in my absence!

Actually, I did try it for a few years but didn't like it.

Yes, I can see the attraction, BE and Bobbe in the same thread...what could be better, ha! Tell you honestly, in the beginning I din't know about Bobbe, mainly because I don't trust people easily, but I've gotten to know him these last few years and I like him and wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from him, but he probably doesn't accept Pesos anyway...could probably catch one or two of the burros that are always grazing on our hill and trade them to him...how 'bout it Bobbe? Well, maybe not.

I'm still playing my old MSA I bought from Bobbe, it's still doing good. Of course, if it was Chalkers I'm sure I could play it much better! Actually, Chalker did let me borrow his old black MSA (the one he still had) for a while and I couldn't play it at all! All the pedals were at strange heights for me, the whole steel just felt totally uncomfortable, and I didn't dare change anything. Still wish I could've kept it though. What was the subject again?

.does anyone know where Red's guitars are today?

I believe that forum member Al Gershen in Oregon has Red Rhodes's Fender (or one of them).

I'll bite..

I have the canceled check that I gave for the red MCI and the signature on the back of who(m) I bought it from, when,(1989) and the ser. number of the guitar.

Would you mind sharing with the class just whose signature it is?

Many folks have asked what Brandella looks like, well, she's the one on my web-site holding the Hilton volume pedal. Now, don't ask me again! (snicker)

still looking for someone to tell the dynamics and physics point of view for buying a steel that was a pros.

I fit all the warning signs of hackdom..

We all have our special "niche" here.

One plays with the ugly ones, one plays with the drunk ones, one plays with the cops, one with the robbers, one plays with the fat ones, one with the old ones, and I play with what's left over. ( Actually it's a really good band, The "John Henry Band" with Artie Bechtel on guitar, Mike Faes on Drums, and a great young couple, John and Beth Henry. They're young, and sometimes there's just no accounting for taste.) My steel is older than either one of them.. We're playing weekends in different places, including Jubitz TS on Oct 23-4 ( or whatever it is.) No more "alt.country" stuff for me for a while..

I don't know if I'll ever "hang" with Don West. I don't know which way he went...

Around Bud C, I always sweated too much.

I worried him I think..

EJL

Honestly, I'll look around. Most of the live stuff last year didn't have the steel very loud in the mix.

To avoid Thread Hijacking, at the time I took lessons there at Oxon Hill, I seem to remember I could have bought the "demo" one Buddy played when he gave lessons.

It was a slightly worn green ProIII, and I could have had it a little cheaper because it was "used". I went for a new $600 one off the shelf. I actually think Harley James and Doug Jones are the only people other than myself to ever play it.

I'll have to include that info when I sell it..

I'm bidding on a Pavarotti scarf here presently..

Hey Bobbe, Bonnie and I will be in town next weekend for the North Tenn show..we'll stop by thurs or fri and I will personally inspect all your guitars for authenticity!

How did this go from a black "EMCI" with a red top purchased in the late 90's to a red "MCI" purchased in the late 80's.

This thread has got more redirection than a OJ trial... ;-)
