The Steel Guitar Forum

Greensburg, PA here. Got my first setup years ago from Joe Minor who posted earlier. White MSA D10 with a session 500 amp. I was told I had the heaviest setup I could possibly get LOL

Please don't forget my good friend Wayne Addleman from State College...he's been playing for Trace Atkins for years

I'm reviving this thread because there are a couple who aren't on here and are gone. I'm from Camp Hill PA...but we have lost Wayne Wallet and Fred Amendola. A big loss for PA Steelers.

Dave Van Allen in Doylestown

Jack Stanton is in South Jersey......but close enough.

I was in Greensburg just yesterday.

That's a long way from California!

I build them, I'm interested in them, but don't really consider myself a steel player.......maybe if you use the term as loosely as one possibly can, then maybe! Quakertown, PA is where I hang my hat.

Recently moved (last November) from Tampa area to Latrobe (just east of Greensburg). Was hoping to get out to the Alwine Center to sit in and pick with the folks down there where they usually have a weekly Thursday night jam. I've been there a few years back and sat in on guitar and lap steel and it was very enjoyable. Only problem now is everything is on hold during all this stuff going on with the virus, so it looks like I'll just have to wait a while until things get better. Anyway, count me in the group...

Interesting to see this one bumped.

Roy, David was looking for a guitarist some years back when I was going through some severe trials and tribulations, and we never got together on it, unfortunately. I play the State Theatre periodically.

Wayne's definitely from here, but he's been down in Nashville for a pretty long time now. He was part of a locally legendary band called Tahoka Freeway, but that was before my time here, and I've been here over 30 years now.

Two years ago we had a sort of mini steel guitar show down in Belleville, right in the heart of North Central PA Amish country. If we can ever get past this coronavirus mess, I'll try to help get something going again. But the local pols put some pretty draconian restrictions on even outdoor gatherings at this point. 10 total people in a residential property, 25 total people in a park. That's outdoors, yikes.

I live in the Lehigh Valley. Bethlehem to be exact.

I grew up in Irwin, 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. I'm a North Californian now.

The late great George Edwards was from the Philadelphia area. He worked with Les Severs in Pa. and went to Nashville with Hank Williams Jr. He worked with a few Nashville artists and retired on Dec.31, 2000 after 25 years with Kitty Wells and Johnny Wright. Unfortunately he suffered a stroke and heart attack 16 days after he retired and never played out again.
Sorry to jump onto this post with things most of us know, but George is more than worthy of an occasional remembrance. George was my friend, Thanks.

George was as warm, friendly and genuine as a human being could be. The pride of Feasterville, PA!

I grew up in Philly and my first steel gig was at the TLA on South Street in '73. I'm in Austin now. Fly Eagles Fly.

DENNIS REHRIG HERE IN WALNUTPORT PA.
IF YOU AIN'T DUTCH YOU AIN'T MUCH.

Phila. area, Lansdale, PA

Not sure if I posted in here......but Philly boy here.

I'm just getting started with Pedal Steel but I'm in Pittsburgh, originally from Latrobe. I may be reaching out to some of you that are local.

Any active members near Lancaster, PA? I have a bit of an unusual request...would be willing to pay someone to "babysit" a pedal steel for me for 2 1/2 months.

I live in Arona, born and raised in Youngwood

Add Harry "Hap" Hatterer from York to those that have passed on.

Walking distance to Philly.

Hey Brian.......are you still working with The Miners? I play with Travel Lanes. We met at the WCL breast cancer benefit a couple years back.

Good to see you here!

Hi Jim! Yeah.. playing with them next month. Hopefully our paths cross soon!

Complete amateur here, but currently in Kingston. Few months I’ll be a few miles north in Pittston. I haven’t seen much action towards this way but things are still fresh from the previous year. Hoping to be able to start seeing some locals out playing here shortly.
