My GFI student will be coming in the mail soon. I was wondering if anyone knows of any steel players in the Chicago area to help me get situated. Thanks!

Hi Matt, You might see if Brian Wilkie is teaching. He plays with the Hoyle Brothers and they're usually at the Empty Bottle on Western Ave. on Friday afternoon. I think they play from 4:30-7:30. Other possibilities might be Frank Freniere (sp?), Gabriel Stutz and Joel Patterson, Paul Wade.

Hey Matt,

You might try Ken Champion. He lives in Cary but travels to the city to teach. I've been his student for a little over 2 years and can recommend him highly. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll gladly send you his number. Welcome to the wonderful,sometimes maddening, world of psg! Good luck!

Marty

ps I have Brian Wilkie's number somewhere as well.
