Well its my turn huh!!!!!!!!!!
I was born in april 1941 so really i didn't know steels even exsisted then.
I strumed on my dads flat top,using a hairpen, letting the sparks fly with those black diamonds!!!!!!!!!!!
we didn't even have tv till i was 12!!!!
i was introduced to lap steel at 19
then got into multichord at 21
Its been a rough road, never could afford a good steel and really didn't know about them until 24yrs. of age.
got my first sho-bud at age 28 WOW

I was nearly three years old and living in a small village up on the moors in Rochdale, Lancashire, England where my folks kept a small mixed grocery shop.
The war hadn't been over too long and people had just started to come out of their hidey-holes.
Dad was a very keen Fiddler & Violin player and later on, a Bass player plus brother was a keen musician playing Trumpet along with sister playing Piano.
I was inovuntarily brought up listening to all this music which laid the path for me when I got a little older when Skiffle Music and R & R came into being.
