Jeff Newman Steel Guitar player/instructer 4-7

[Busgaljan]

The steel guitar community is weeping tonight as one of our pillars has fallen.
Well known steel guitar player and Instructor Jeff Newman was killed late this afternoon
in a recreationel plane crash on his farm near Waterville, TN.

His seminars were highlights of many conventions and his instructional materials were the
base of steel guitar players of all levels.

This one hits me very hard as Jeff was someone I got to know at the Dallas shows

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Jeff's tragic accident.

I met Jeff at the 2003 Texas Steel Guitar Assn. Jamboree in Dallas. I bought some instructional material from him and we talked about some techniques and things. He was a super guy and was extremely helpful to anyone wanting to learn steel guitar. The steel guitar world lost one of it's best ambassadors, player and teacher. He will be missed more than words can say.
