good job Glenn !

Do you think a letter from france will be taken in consideration ? :p

I'm pretty sure a lot of artists who are using Ernie's strings could join too.

Knuckleheads and Diehards,

I'm going to try to see if I can round up some support for something that it really important to my family and the team at Ernie Ball. Gettting my father into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

We have tried once and got nowhere. I was thinking of seeing if our forum could create a little groundswell. If you guys and gal's don't feel this is appropiate then just humor me.

It's been 2 1/2 years since my Dad passed away and like many of you who have lost someone close to you they are never far from your thoughts and emotions. I also cant go many hours without thinking of what he created and how his ideas , concepts and determination with no role models enabled him to create products that were used on some of the most important recordings and performances in the last 45 years since Slinky's were introduced.

He was a player. He was a teacher. He was an artist. He was an entrepeneur before it was cool. He was never driven my money, he was driven by a creative fire and a passion for excellence.
He created the strings that were used from the Beatles to Zappa. Stairway to heaven? SLinky's..Sunshine of your love?...Slinkys THe Rolling Stones? SLinky's . ON and on....

Ernie Ball strings were the one constant for more hall of fame inductees than any other string company and we were first. Nobody cared about guitar strings. Rock and Roll strings didnt exist before Ernie.

Shouldnt the important tools and pioneers of rock and rool products be recognised for helping to make that music happen?

Lets see if anyone shares my view and see if so if we can make it happen


a-men. i'm with you there big chief!!!

You can do eeeeeeeeeeeet!

I think what you're doing is honorable and very worthwhile BP. I have been impressed with my 1st EB guitar, and it will not be the last.
