Really some interesting data guys! Thanks for all the posts. I also find it interesting that so many of the senior members of our instrument are computer savvy. I have lots of friends who are seniors and wouldn't know a computer if it fell on them!!!

I played AT it for over 20 years before deciding to really get interested in it a little less than 4 years ago.

Started in 1968 scratching around looking for info, then took up fiddle in 1971 along with Dobro, and at this time am just getting into the c6th neck, I suppose it's an on going process, and a challeng to see who runs out of time first.Slim.
