10. You have silverware that replaced parts of your PSG that's broken, and still use them.
9. You still play with a band that has had more members quit than are now in the band.
8. Your reverb quit and you had to sit out the rest of the night.
7. Your bank regularly cashes checks made out to your stage name.
6. You tend to put the legs of your steel in the same indentations in the linoleum at the Eagles every week.
5. You see other people play things you can't play and you say it's because you don't want to play "this new stuff".
4. You don't buy Duct Tape™ because you can always find enough to use stuck on the stage from the last band.
3. You replace only the strings that break, and buy a dozen 17s 10s and 36s once every couple years.
2. Your dog looks guilty whenever you point at the legs of your steel, and say " Did you do that?"
1. You are better at juvenile knife games than at playing steel guitar. |

Isn't that how Joseph Kekuku started this whole game in the first place?

ROTFL.
The C pedal line too LOL.
I'll add:
Two levers, but not too sure what they do. Better not try them in front of the club manager.
Half pedals? Why??
Way To Survive sounds like Steel Guitar Rag and visa versa[This message was edited by David L. Donald on 29 May 2004 at 04:00 AM.] |

You mean we are supposed to tuned this arnin' board?
Or, you look down and notice the black and white keys are missing.
By the way Larry, wouldn't that be the A pedal used on that third lick?
