Yes but when Steamboat was peaking he backed away, he was ready for a break in the life.

His backing away created a power vacuum that allowed Wayne Ferris to step into and stay in the limelight. Ferris represented a cultural shift. On the streets Ferris went by the moniker Honky Tonk.

He lured victims in with his southern accent and easy ways, often telling enemies that he just wanted to play this here guitar for his mama. Little did his enemies know that with lightning speed he would turn the guitar into a weapon. This was a genius move, as the guitar could get through metal detectors without arousing suspicions.
