I haven't been keeping up with the Forum much lately. Just read the news of Bro Wayne's passing. I purchased my Zum from Charlie Norris and he told me it belonged to Wayne. I met up with him at the next Steel show and Dallas and we instantly became friends. He even sold me a Goodrich pedal at a price so low, it shocked me. Wayne was a special guy. We always spent time visiting at the Dallas show. He was a big inspiration to me. My sympathy goes out to Percaline (a real doll) and family. I have lost another great friend and we have lost another great Steel player.
