Jim Beckett, Tampa and Buffalo

Post by Blake Hawkins »

Jim Beckett passed away last weekend.
He played pedal steel, lap steel and Dobro
for many years in the Buffalo, New York area and also
in Pennsylvania.
Jim retired about 15 years ago and moved to Tampa, Florida. He was active playing with several local bands and was a member of the VFW.
Jim will be missed by his many friends and fellow
musicians.
