Brand new steel owner

Post by Ed Gamble »

Just got a steel guitar two days ago. Not quite as good as Paul Franklin yet, but working on it. Glad to be a member of the forum.

Hi Ed

I've been at it for 38 years and never get tired of it.
Cops aren't paid much so I steel at night.

Welcome Ed! Few of us ever approach the greatness of Paul Franklin, but there's no better goal to aspire to and you can still have fun at it regardless. :)

Good luck!

It's a good addiction. Hard for some folks to quit once they get started. I'm in my 46th year of trying to play this thing. Yea boy !
