Bobbe Seymour remembers steel guitartists lost but not forgotten
Steel guitarist Bobbe Seymour reminds everyone “February 2nd is the anniversary of the death of Jimmy Crawford. Jimmy was an extremely talented steel guitarist, he was extremely innovative with a style of his own that could sound like Segovia or hard core bluegrass steel guitar.
“This man was a true, astounding talent that had the admiration of the world’s finest. We have lost many players over the last five years that should not be forgotten. We are nearing the first anniversary of the death of the great Tom Brumley also.
“But let’s remember all these incredible steel players that we’ve lost in the last ten years. A few are legends that we don’t think enough about, like Jimmy Day, Curly Chalker, Gene O’Neill, Hal Rugg, Duane Marrs, Wayne Kincaid and industrialists like the one we just lost, John Fabian of Carter Guitars.
“This world is a poorer place without these great legends. I’ll be around for a while I think and I’ll be reminding the world of these legendary folks that have added so much to our lives through the legacy of music they left us.”
See all of Bobbe’s monthly specials. As always, we appreciate his input and contributions.
