_ _ All the people across the country [Ab] and the world, _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ getting them all together _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ creates a little [F] different.

_ _ _ _ [G] The history, [B] my gosh, the entire history of the steel guitar is right here on this stage.
[Eb] _ _ A little piece of nostalgia for you.
[B] I would say _ _ 90% _ [G] of the steel guitar [A] players that [G] _ originated the steel guitar as we know it are still alive.
Now you can't say that about any other [Ab] instrument.
_ [A] _ Take Liam McCollough, [Bb] that goes back to [B] Bob Wills and the Texas Playboy days.
Look at [Ab] Jerry Berg. _ _ _ _ _
These guys are still alive.
You can see them right [B] here at Steel Guitar Convention.
There's your history.
_ And a vital part of that history is added each year with the induction into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame.
[C] Ladies and gentlemen, this year's [B] inductee is [Bm] Shot Jackson. _
Shot [F] Jackson.
_ [Dm] _ Shot Jackson, ladies and gentlemen.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _
Got to be the epitome of _ _ [Eb] _ _
recognition.
_ _ [G] It's hard to handle, but you [F] love it.
[C] Shot Jackson played dobro and steel guitar for Roy Acuff, Kitty Wells, and Johnny and Jack.
But Shot's done more for the instrument than [Eb] just play it.
Everybody wanted to pedal on their guitar.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Eb] _ And racing over the pitch and so forth.
_ _ _ _ Shot approached me one night in the alley after a show at _ WSM called the Friday Night Rally.
_ _ And he [Bm] showed me a keyhead.
He said, _ I have an idea for a guitar.
He said, would you like to be part of it?
_ _ And I said, yeah. _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ We went to his garage and started the show Bud Guitar. _ _
And I think we created a monster, don't you? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _
