I moved to Houston in 1989, so I consider myself to be a Texan now.

South Texas is a great place for steeling

That is all I can think of now. I am sure I left several out of the list. I sure mean no disrespect.

My great grandparents on both sides of my family came to Port Lavaca, Texas, in the early 1900's. I'm 30 miles from where I was born (in Port Lavaca). For years, I didn't meet any other steel players, but through Jody and Billy's club meetings, I have met many wonderful players. Thanks!

Wasn't born here, but got here as quick as I could - moved to Abilene on the Bicentennial weekend in '76, and made it to Austin a year later.

I think I should have been.
I was just born in the wrong place.

They sell Coca Cola in Texas.......

Perhaps you can arrange a 'transfer'?

We'd all enjoy having you here, closer to the rest of us. And, you can drive on the right side of the road, even in Texas.

Born and raised in Ohio but I have lived in Texas most of my life and I don't plan to leave. I tried to once but it called me back to San Antonio where I have lived since 1979. Where else can you find a plethera of 100 year old dance halls where people love to dance?

Born in Calif, raised in the Hudson Valley area of NY, moved here in 1984 (2008-2010 in Central Coast of Calif)

Herb Steiner · Post by **Herb Steiner** » 5 Nov 2011 9:39 am

to add to Justin G.'s list:

Bert Rivera
Albert Talley
Mike Daily
Scott Walls
Danny Hawk
Scott Martin
Al Kentfield
Nathan Fleming
Geoff Queen
Danny Johnson
Jerry Sherbahn
Kenny Grohman
Larry Horwedel
Benny Kothmann

and the list goes on and on.

No wonder I can't find any work!

I don't pretend to be a steel player but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.

Ron Randall · Post by **Ron Randall** » 5 Nov 2011 1:09 pm

Count me in. 4th generation.

Danny Letz · Post by **Danny Letz** » 5 Nov 2011 1:51 pm

And the star of our last WTSGA meeting, Steve Palousek from Holland, Tx. He's got to rank up there amoung the top.

Justin Griffith · Post by **Justin Griffith** » 5 Nov 2011 2:12 pm

Thanks Herb! I hesitated to make a list for fear of leaving folks out.

Steve P. doesn't count. That guy isn't human.....
Kidding aside, Steve is a great player and great friend. It is cool having him 20 minutes away!

Alan Harrison · Post by **Alan Harrison** » 5 Nov 2011 2:27 pm

I'm a TEXAN four months a year. My wife and I have spent our winters in McAllen for the last 12 years. "Guess that doesn't count though"

"I'm really not a steel player, I just spend a lot of time sitting behind one and wishing I could play it".

Charles Kleinert · Post by **Charles Kleinert** » 6 Nov 2011 4:02 am

Born in Corpus Christi, and raised in Austin. Been here going on 70 years, guess that makes me a true Texan.
Don't forget;
Herb Remington
Reese Anderson
Jim Flynn

And as Mr. Steiner says, the list goes on and on

I was going to add my name but my wife reminded me that they asked for steel PLAYERS from Texas.
