I didn't realize there were so many different steel brands and you forgot to ad Kline to the list. I wonder how many more there are. Don

Wow, that is really cool. I feel like I understand the forum much better because of it. I suggest making that a sticky.

Can we still take the survey or is it closed out now?

Very interesting, great post.

Hi, Jim ... I just saw the survey and did it. I based my answers on my current status having just gotten back into steel after a long layoff from it (rather than what my answers would have been back when I was actively playing). Good luck with it. :)

Another suggestion would be to break down the age question to see how many of each age participated. The average is good and we also get real curious about the individual ages of players.

Actually, I have that info but the automated summary doesn't provide it. If I have time, I'll show it too.

Hey Jim!

Didn't find the question on how much liquor i drink and what kind! Crown and ginger ale!

Seems from the survey we all are over 50, play a couple times a month, practice a good bit, mostly play Emmons and play country with a some western swing! Is that "Real country" or the pop rock they play these days?

I think you've helped me figure out why i've been through two divorces and why my wife stays mad!
She said "Steel or me" Man i miss her! :lol:
Coooool!!! :lol:

Kenny made a great point. No questions on liquor, drugs, women (or men for the ladies), how many times a night you screw up a lick by looking at the opposite sex on the dance floor, etc. These are the real meat and potato questions. As they say, "Inquiring minds want to know".

Of course I am just kidding. :) :) :)

This was fun and informational. It would be nice if all 8000+ members took the time to take it so we can have an absolute outcome.
