When I turned 40 there was a half moon looking just like a yellow bowl floating above the ocean, and I thought, "Don't worry man about not getting my steel set up yet, 'cause jus' look at all those guys that play good steel, THEY'RE gray hairs!" I knew it was going to take time, just like THEY had invested. I thank YOU now for showing me that then.

One of my fondest memories happened on my 30th birthday.
I was feeling old, depressed, and over the hill and wondering how much longer I could continue to play in bands with all those "kids" that I was playing steel with back in those days.
Then the cloud lifted when I got to the job where I was playing that night and the club manager, a woman, "carded" me to confirm that I was over 21 and legal for me to be there!
I needn't have worried however, because 40 years later I was still playing steel with "kids" about their same age!

I dated a redhead for 3.5 years, I was going gray by age 24...
My band wanted me to dye my hair at age 27, till we played regualrly with another band, coincidentally named FRANCE, and their guitarist dyed his hair GRAY.
That shut them up good.
This same picker worked for Rounder records as a day gig, but prefered a Marshall Major on 11 with an echoplex at night.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by David L. Donald on 03 March 2004 at 08:53 AM.]</p></FONT>
