The link below is to a very entertaining article on pedal steel which appeared in Time Magazine several years ago. I would think someone posted the link on the Forum in the past, but I haven't seen it. The Steel Guitar Forum is even mentioned in the article!

Isolating problems on the steel is a little like trying to decide which one in a school of piranhas is hurting you more

Yup!

I seem to recall that the author of that is a forumite named Jonathan Gregg. He posted here about it when the article was published. It's a nice article.

Who came up with that quote that in our "here today, gone tomorrow" media culture, everyone would have his 15 minutes of fame? Was it Andy Warhohl? b0b, you've had your 7.5 minutes of fame since your name was not included but the Forum link was. steve t
