Wonder if we added all the years?

If we added all the years of musical experience from everyone who frequents this great forum, wonder how many years exprience we would have? I am brand new almost to PSG but I can count the 2 years that I took lessons on that old lap steel. So thats 2 whole years for me

How long you boys been at this? Wonder who has the most years by now.

61 years total. Started at age 4. 52 years professonally. Hell, I don't think I'm any better than I was at 10 or 11,,,,probably not as wise either....

Had a lot of fun though. Enjoy playing now more than ever.

You People must be like Fine Wine considering the years i see on your posts !

Steel am fine, like the Wine !
Vive la France !

No Grand Cru, Crowbear. Probably a non-vintage 3 liter jug!

So, how far are you from St. Emillion? I use to suck down some great red from a small vineyard, Chateau Lescours. Their product hasn't been around here in a long time and I'm well overdue for a fill up. And yes, please administer any spell check where needed!

I'm 37 and have been playing steel since age 17...20yrs. I thought that was a long time, but, compared to everybody else's 50+ I'm kind of ashamed!

Richard Sinkler · Post by **Richard Sinkler** » 16 Jul 2001 10:58 am

30 years on steel. 10 years prior on drums.

CrowBear Schmitt · Post by **CrowBear Schmitt** » 16 Jul 2001 12:03 pm

Steel a Grand Crew.....

Doug Seymour · Post by **Doug Seymour** » 16 Jul 2001 12:15 pm

If my math is better than my steel playing these days I must have started when Gene Jones did. I started with Montgomery Ward
6 string lap steel in November of 1946 & wanted to make those fills like the guy on Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. His radio program.(Was that the name of it?) I said I wished I knew that tuning & Bobbe's Dad (my brother) said it sounds like a minor chord to me. I later found it to be the C# min tuning by cranking up the B (2nd string) to C#.
