Buddy, Always smiling. He was sure aggrevated after spending about 30 min fooling with one to get it in tune, but kept smilin' despite his frustration.

I had never really cared about the difference between ET and JI tuning of a steel guitar (although I TRY to tune JI on my steel) until I saw and heard John Hughey and Weldon Myrick playing side-by-side at a show in Dothan Alabama. Both John and Weldon knocked my socks off, but to me it was very evident that JI was the way to go, especially on slow tempo songs. On fast songs, it doesn't much matter. (Only my opiniom)
