I met Lorene and Art a handful of times. The first time was to pick up a copy of her instructional manual at the Jade Rabbit restaurant, now shut a number of years, where a few steel players would meet to jam a bit, and celebrate Birthdays. After a bit of time practicing, I stopped by their house on...

http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1504/12791_Tremblay_1.jpg This is my favourite steel and also the one I play the most.

Charlie, Thanks for the welcome. Charlie McDonald Wrote: [jamming with others] it's a leap of faith and I found that thick skin and short memory helped me most.
