Just months before we lost the great Buddy Emmons (the creator of pedal steel guitar as we know it), and had just lost Ray Price, we were honored to be a part of a tribute Larry Black did on the Country's Family Reunion series of shows that Mike Johnson and most of the rest of this particular band have been a part of since the first series recorded at Sound Emporium in 1997. It's one of the few interviews that you'll find with Buddy talking about his great cut of THE NIGHTLIFE. (perhaps the ONLY one.) Mike Johnson pays tribute to his hero as do the rest of us while T Graham Brown proceeds to lay soul all over this great song. I feel sure that I speak for everyone involved with this show when I say "Thanks, Larry for letting us be a part of history that hopefully will far outlast us all. I couldn't be prouder to be a part of ANY television series." - Dirk Johnson

Buddy never got over his wife's death, but then who ever does. He missed her so much that he grieved himself to death. All you had to do was watch he and Peggy at the conventions to know how much he loved that girl. Greatest inovater and player the instrument has ever known. Miss you BIG E.

I come back to this post over, and over again. It's just so damn good....When I was about 11 years old, my Dad brought me home an LP with a black cover, that just said 'Emmons Guitar Inc.' on the cover...showed a guy sitting at a pedal steel with his arms folded looking lost in thought. When I played that album, my entire world was forever transformed, and I literally wore the grooves off of it...all you heard when you put the needle down was white noise....so I had to buy another copy. Buddy's playing and Ray Price's singing changed my life and made it infinitely better....as they countless others, all over this world. R I P.

If it weren’t for Buddy Emmons we wouldn’t have the pedal steel guitars we have today. He was hearing things that the guitars couldn’t play until he modified something to make it happen. I play pedal steel and am not very good,but if a Pro sat down behind my steel he could hang with anyone because Buddy made sure we all needed what we needed to make a chord or any “Change” or “Pull”

I remember pulling the LP out of my dad's record case, placing the vinyl ever so carefully on the turntable inside the family Zenith console entertainment center, setting the needle down., listening to Ray talk, Buddy in the background, I'd get all set to play "my" intro on my pedal steel guitar (the card table) sitting on my pakseat (that same record cabinet), and I was Buddy Emmons for the rest of the Album! 24th Hour, Pride, etc... a couple years later my dad bought me my first "real" pedal steel guitar.

A true story and a comment about Buddy at the end of the story: Many years ago in England, a noted critic (Name escapes me at the moment) said, "Vladimir Horowitz was the greatest pianist, living or dead!" Whereupon an over zealous reporter took the critic to task as he asked, "Have you heard every pianist?" The critic paused for a moment and then responded, "Perhaps I was not at all inclusive enough when I gave my assessment of Mr Horowitz; because I failed to include those yet unborn!" Now my comments: IF per chance, Buddy Emmons "chosen" instrument had been the piano, THAT "critic" would have had to eat his words! Here is why: Buddy was NOT just a musician who played the steel guitar. NOT at ALL! He was a BORN "Musician" from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. He was equal or better than ANY great musician who EVER lived. And I add: Those YET unborn!

For he caved in to those who hate the steel guitar, such as directors, producers countless guitarists; like Chet Atkins, and countless others that felt the steel guitar was "TOO hillbilly". This is why Chet, Boots Randolph and Floyd Cramer NEVER used a steel when they played. Sad indeed. Again "Damn them!"

@@INDYOSKARS Yes, Floyd did use the "Dobro" but even here a Dobro's sound is FAR different than how a regular steel guitar sounds. Thus, some singers and/or groups will use the Dobro, but they would NEVER use a regular steel guitar; UNLESS the steel player uses a device that changes the sound to a Dobro sound. It is very sad, that the steel guitar is one of THE world's most beautiful musical instruments ever; Yet MOST will NOT allow it to be used in their music. IE: Oak Ridge group Chet, Boots and Floyd group Big Band orchestras Classical orchestras Jazz groups, EXCEPT when BE played Popular music Cajun music Sonny James Leroy VanDyke Alabama group Vince Gil more and more now Eddy Arnold ditched it also, never went back Ray Price too, then went back to it Blue Grass except for Dobro Rock and Roll, except in RARE incidents Etc, etc and ECTERRRRA Note: Almost EVERY musical single or group uses a Bass, Guitar, piano, but they would NEVER use a steel Guitar.

Richie, I am not sure why you wanted to bring up how T.G Brown's way of holding a Mic? I have been to many of his shows and not once did I ever hear a feedback? TG learned from the best and he performs as good as anyone and Ray Price would have approved of his performance! If he wants to hold a MIC that way that is just his style and I sure wouldn't want to change that. He no doubt is a pro and these videos proves that! And as far as Mike Johnson, he learned from the best as we all wanted to play like Buddy, and I think he is in the top five players still alive. Just think how the steel would be today without Buddy's input teaching and showmanship....RIP BUD, We all miss you and thank you for what you have given us!....
