Gary,
Sorry I missed you call today, I can remember
Dennis from back in the late '70's too.
First time I saw him, he played the song "Exodus"
He played an old "Clark" pedal steel guitar and he never used his case, just carried it in.
Its so sad to hear that he passed.

Sorry to hear about Dennis. I've known him since the 60s when we were both trying to get a handle on pedal steel. I got to see him play a few times at the St.Louis show. That's a real shock.

Dennis and his family were always faithful supporters of the Gospel Steel Guitar Assn. and we have been dear friends across several years. He will be greatly missed. As has been mentioned, his version of Exodus was his signature song. We are blessed to have him and the family on several of the GSGA videos. My wife and I will be driving in from Indiana tomorrow evening for the viewing and to be there to support the family. This was so sudden, but we know that God is still in control and Dennis is in a better place.

I remember hearing Dennis play " Via De la Rosa " at a Gospel steel show and was blown away. I bugged him for a long time to record it, which he finally did. If anyone has not heard it , get it. Beautiful steel work.
Dennis, Rest In Peace My Friend,
