Has somebody ever noticed that the age poll looks like a Bell curve which appears to be a graphic representation of the direct relationship to the decline of the steel guitars prominence in country music today.
I'm just sayin. |

1953, the year that...
(supposedly)
The first issue of Playboy was published...
The first Corvette was produced...
[My hero Albert Einstein took the big dirt nap...]
Oops, Albert passed away in 1955...
The first jet engine was used in commercial service...
I think Bobbe Seymour had already been pickin' for 10 years ...

The baby boom bell curve fits from the late '40s through the early '60s. So that automatically influences the curve we see. Also, I think steelers born up through the '50s are vastly under-represented on the internet and here on the Forum. Not sure what all that means. It would be interesting to see manufacturing or sales figures.
1946, the end of WWII and the first year of the baby boomers. |
