I've been gone too long (I'm from Mechanicsburg) but two that come to mind are Harry Hatterer from York and Burnell Groft in Hanover.

I was born in State College and grew up near Sunbury, but I've lived in Austin my whole adult life. My parents still live in central Pa, though, and my son (who's 4) told me he's going to move there when he grows up. :)

I'm from Huntingdon in the center of the state. I am fortunate to play with a band that plays gigs all over Pennsylvania. It's always great to meet new players. Check out our website at www.makeminecountryband.com to see when we are playing near you. My seat's always open to players who want to sit in.

Tommy,
You and guys are making me feel homesick.... although I'm picking down here, it's a little lonely... I think I would like to play Alburtis Park one more time before I die. :)
I'm from Reading / Allentown area Jeff, move to NC couple years ago now, nice people, perfect weather, music is about the same....

I'm from Lansdale, PA.
it's just south of Allentown, years ago (over 20) I had the opportunity to sit down with Winnie Winston in Phila. I was a newby & learning and did not sound good had a MSA guitar and Peavey LTD amp and figured it had to be the equipment, boy was I wrong, Winnie played thru my set-up, I was blown away. At one time a company that made what was called a Little Izzy used to have Steel Shows at the local Hampton Inn, I remember Buddy Emmons, Buddy Charlton, Herby Wallace. Don't know what happened to the Lil Izzy, but sure miss those shows though.
