Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I scanned a bunch today for a web tribute page I'm doing for my Dad. This one is pretty cool: [img]http://www.jamfree.com/ginnyleo.jpg[/img] That's my Mom on the left. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I have been working on that but not fast enough. My goal is to scan pictures from my family and all my aunts and uncles, get some stories from each of them, and then distribute them on CD's to all the families. My mom and dad are each one of 12 children so it is a big job. My main regret is I did not do it years ago before I started loosing so many of my aunts and uncles. A lot of knowledge about family history is already lost. Robert This post edited for speling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakka Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Great shot, Creeper. Did someone try to rip the steel player out of the photo? I'll guess 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 HaHa...no the photo just got torn...it's been handled by 6 LeBlanc kids and a few of the Nephews/Nieces. It's amazing how many of the photos actually survived the years :) The picture was taken in 1956...my Dad was almost 19 years old...my Mom was the same age. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 P.S. Does anyone know if Fender actually made Steel Guitars in 1940? I can find out easily enough, just curious. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I don't know about 1940, but my friend has a lap steel (6string) from Fender that looks to be from the 60s or 70s. Needs new strings like a murf, and a good ole cleaning job. Pretty cool guitar, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender did make Steels in the early 40's, and started making [i]pedal[/i] steels in the 50's. I seem to remember seeing a vintage Fender Steel ad from the 40's, and they packaged it with a tweed amp.

Gus Lozada Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Well... that's ME ... 1977...

Steve LeBlanc Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Cool...I'll do a bit of research and report back. I do know that my Dad got a Fender [b]Pedal[/b] Steel the first year they were made...1957 I think...maybe it was earlier. BTW, date correction on the above photo...I'm pretty sure it was early 1955...my parents' graduation year. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
