[MyCanadianeh]

lovely song, you did a great job

[HowardWiggins3]

Thanks for taking time to do that for me

[HowardWiggins3]

I think that George Morgan `s Mr. Ting-a-ling Steel Guitar Man really showcases my father ,Little Roy Wiggins, style of playing the steel guitar.

[Steelpicker]

@HowardWiggins3 Hey Howard, I will try to get some more video of your dad posted soon. I will have to dig it our of my archives. Take care, Bill

[peasticker]

The steel guitar is missing in today's gospel and country music.

[HowardWiggins3]

Have you heard the song of Kitty Wells and Little Roy Wiggins The Crying Steel Guitar?

[Steelpicker]

Wow, can I assume that with your last name that you are related to Roy.

Roy and I were fellow steelers and good friends.

I have not heard that song, but would love to. Do you have this record. If so I would love to have an mp3, if that's possible for you.

Let me know and I will send you my email address.

Thanks,

Bill Ferguson

[Steelpicker]

Well I did not notice in an earlier post by you that you are Roy's son.

Did you or do you live in Sevierville?

[BigDuckKetterer]

Thank you Steelpicker. The only instrument I can play is a duck call but that ain't even in this league even though I can actually play songs on it!!! It sure sounds funny but it works!!! Roy and Pete were one of a kind and I'm so glad I found them on UTube!!

[BigDuckKetterer]

This has to be one of the greatest instrumental versions of this hymn I've ever heard!!!! I didn't know he was gone until just now, when did it happen?? RIP Little Roy!!

[Steelpicker]

I don't remember exactly when Roy passed. It has been some 10-15 years ago.

Bill

You don't get any sweeter than this.

[jpeanrkode]

Did he play on some of Marty Robbins' earliest songs? ie. "I couldn't keep from cryin"?

[jjoe123]

Roy was one of the greatest.

[mosrite60]

if I recall Roy also played with Buck Owens & Buckeroos before Tom Brumley and Jee De Maness. Great player and so smooth.
