| I just returned to playing the steel after 28 years absent. What was I thinking! I forgot the love I have for it. I have been playing bass in a Christian country band. The drummer found out I use to play steel and the rest is history. I am now playing a GFI that I bought off this forum. Things are coming back, slowly! LOL I come here everyday looking and read almost everything. I have a new 2005 Emmons LeGrande III Derby Red S-10 on order.I can't wait until it gets here!!! I use to have a double neck back then. Anyway, thanks for letting me jump on board guys. |

| Thanks for the welcome Larry. I wondered what was wrong with me these past 28 years. I was just plain crazy! Now I will have an excuse for my instanty from here on out. Funny how when I quit playing all those years how I only heard the steel as a background instrument. I heard it but really didn't. Now I hear it on the front side and every 'LICK' they play! Know what I mean? Humm, I love it love it love it! |

| Rich, Welcome back to the world of steel guitar. It looks like it never gets out of our blood. Just curious, what Christian Country band were you playing for? |

I have to hand it to you all, you know how to make a guy feel welcome! All the kind words and yes George I will be calling on you if you don't mind. I also have to agree with you, I have never stopped my love for it and no Paul it never got out of my blood. I guess the Lord had my focus on another love, the Lord and song writing. But He allowed that love to return full blast and thats what I am having, a blast! Thanks again guys. Ps. Paul, I am playing part time steel and part time bass right now for a local group (By the Cross) here in Tn where I live. We are praying for a full time bass player so I can play steel FULL TIME!  |
