Welcome Sir, Sounds like you got it going on. Ever get down to Houston give me a shout. Katy SETSGA club meets 1st Sunday of the month. Next one is in July since most everyone is in Oklahoma for the Tulsa show.

Welcome to the forum Dewayne, If there is any hope for us x drummers learning steel, Jr Knight is the one to do it. He is one nice man. When you get a little down
at the steel, call me, I'll take you to the cotton club
for some "medicine", from Drs' Dearmore and company.
Jim

And a Welcome from me in Bartlett,Tx. I too am new at the psg but I love it already. I met Bill Dearmore and he is going to give me lessons starting Thurs, 5/31. A super nice fellow and a great player. I went to the Cotton Club in Granger to meet and hear him play. As people say on this forum 'just ask and someone will be willing to help you'. A great community of folks.

Bill is a super player. He has invited me to come and spend some time with him but just can't seem to get away from wife's health problems long enough.

He does more on E9th. that most do on both necks combined. You will be with one of the best. Wish I could do that. His copedent is different so be careful with what he does. I think he uses about 8 knee levers on E9th. and knows very well what each one does.

SUPER PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
