The Steel Guitar Forum

Well i finally took the plunge and joined the forum after lurking a year. Bought my steel about 7 mos. ago. You think 57 year old kid can learn to play this thing? Got burned out on playing music about 12 yrs ago. Had rotator cuff surgery last yr. and found this site. Rekindled my interest in music and now im addicted to this instrument. Now let the good times begin again. lol

Jerry, Welcome to the greatest forum on the web. No, 57 ain't too old to learn. Regardless of how much you learn or how fast, it's still lot's of fun trying. The steel is the most beautiful of stringed instruments,IMO and it's addictive, as you have found out. Lot's of luck and again, welcome!

Bryan im from the Jasper area. I was in attendance at your church the Sunday Russ and Laney performed. I told you my daughter lived in Kimberly, anyway i think i did. I broke my arm so as far as the steel learning goes im outta action for next 2 or 3 weeks.

I think I remember now. Unfortunately, I'm terrible with names and faces!!! Not good when your'e a pastor!!!

Sorry about the arm. Hope to see you at the convention in January.
