Remembering My Father and His Last Steel on His Birthday

My father would have been 104 today. He was like an older brother, as he was only 20 years older than me.
I went to Nashville with him when he purchased his last steel, a Sho-Bud 2-Neck with 10 strings on each neck
with floor and knee pedals. However, I have never used any of the pedals and only play 1 neck in A6 tuning.
This is a song written by my brother, and I am playing the Sho-Bud, without pedals.

Although it is not my most valuable, I certainly cherish and have great fondness for this steel. It is a keeper.

SOMEWHERE THE ANGELS SING A SONG FOR ME

I hope all will enjoy this song.

Friend of all,

Nice tribute to your Dad - it's great that you could share the same hobby!

Always remember our fathers and mentors. I think of my Dad and mom often. They lived through the depression years and still managed to raise a family and provide a home. God bless the same for everyone.

Thanks for the kind words, Mike. We enjoyed working
together and sharing the same hobby.

Great thoughts, Larry. My Dad and Mom went through the depression and raised 10 children, I'm the
oldest and all are still living. Another hardship they faced was when their home burned when I was
4 and they lost all things. Many parents suffered trying times in the late 1930's and early 1940's.
God is gracious.
