On one occasion during a break, a gentleman came up to the band and said to me "You're a great keyboard player". I replied "thanks but since the other members of the band have pinched all the keys, I can only play it by plucking the strings". We were standing by the steel guitar at the time. He looked down at the guitar, then back up at me, said "very funny!" and went back to his seat none the wiser.

HA! I just now had ran across this thread! Hilarious!
The bandleader of a local group that I play with frequently, refers to my Lap Steel as "the sit down guitar". After two years of that, I've given up trying to tell him that it's called a Lap Steel. (No. He's not the brightest bulb in the drawer!)
On one gig, a person came up to me during a break and asked if I had forgotten to bring or had broken my guitar strap - as to the reason I was playing it sitting down and laid across my legs!
I'm planning on taking the PSG out on a gig for the first time in November. This ought to be good!
