Yeah, Herbie, I am a little afraid, but it really has nothing to do with the forum members causing me to be. I am new to pedal steel, new to computers, and new to the Steel Guitar Forum. And yes, I live in a cave! While all of this offers a middle-aged guy great learning opportunities, I have a shy ...

I'm usually the guy that has to borrow from prepared folks like you because I'm not far-sighted enough. Thanks everyone, for sharing your tool kits and reminding us of the need for them.

Robert T. you are doubly blessed, friend. Good for you! My wife loves me, but she does not like country music and she especially dislikes steel guitar. However, she respects my love and enjoyment of music, and has accepted the fact that I will practice when and how I have need. Simply put, She "...
