I started pedal steel guitar on the 18th of March, 1976 and didn't quit until 2000 ... took a nine year layoff from steel and have been back at it for about four weeks now.
So, 1976 through 2009 is 33 years minus 9 years nothing = 24 years of playing. Feels like I've been playing longer than that ... or, is it just being over the 50 mark that makes it seem that way?
