I was for a while. But I got over it.I still enjoy playing. I no longer lay awake at nite wondering how Buddy did this or that. Heck, maybe I know it all. 
No, I have tons of Steel recordings. I never listen to them.But I got em if the mood strikes............bb[This message was edited by Bobby Boggs on 20 March 2006 at 08:17 PM.] |

You know you are a steeloholic if you...
wake up almost very night and play something,
always carry a set of picks, only hear the steel in a tune, ..anyone else? |

| Yeah, I'm definitely a steel-a-holic because I spend a lot of time at my steel and anytime I hear a great steel solo in a song, I'm always amazed by the solo I hear. I'm also a steel-a-holic because every day I wonder what songs I'll play on the steel and I love everything related to the steel guitar. Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI Ultra D-10 |

| You know you're a steel-o-holic if you know every steel guitar company and builder by name and if everytime you hear a good solo, you always wonder if you could play a solo like any steel player on a record did it. You're also a steel-a-holic if you go to a lot of steel guitar shows and steel shops. Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI Ultra D-10 |

Does ‘wishing’ you had the urge to play count?

If you were to ask me, I'd say no. But if you ask anyone around me, they'd say yes. Sound familiar?
But I still carry a full-time job, play my guitar and even my banjo sometimes. I guess I'm not at the "acceptance" part yet.
Hey, this is a better addiction than lots of other things I can think of. |

I subscribe to the 12 fret program...
Please let me play the things that I can, and accept the things that I can't play, and grant me the wisdom to know the difference?

If you get irritated when you have to stop to eat, sleep, answer the phone, go to the bathroom, run an errand, (or perhaps work) because you have to get up from behind the steel & quit "doodlin'" does this mean I have an addiction?
I also "doodle" on banjo, dobro, guitar, fiddle, etc....I must admit that at times, I'm addicted to those too.....guess there just isn't enough hours in the day, days in the week, etc.....

| Does it count if your wife threatens to divorce you because you seem more committed to your steel guitar than to her? (A friend wants to know...) |

I am a steel-a-holic. Or was. I love everything steel related. But, about last Tuesday, I just lost all interest. I haven't even got my steel out of the case this week or last week. What's happening to me? I've been playing about 3 years and have never gotten tired of it. Maybe I'll get over it.

| Ahh the rookie stage! When I first started, I bought everything under the sun, I thought would make me play better. After 1 1/2 years (still a rookie) I don't use 1/2 the stuff I bought anyway. But by golly I've got it in case I ever learn to turn the damn thing on. |
