Just taking a poll to find the average age of the board's members. I myself am 32, and it seems am in the minority in terms of age group here. Is there a trend that fewer young folk are picking up the steel?

And I will be 66 next August. Hey, Alan! When we both get to 100 then I'll meet you by the dock of the bay, just bring your guitar and I'll bring mine and we'll give those toddling tourists something to think about Smile

Age ain't nothing but a number. There are some folks here in your range, but there are also some who are older who still have a youthful outlook on music and life. Count me as one, though I'm in my late 40s.

I'm thirty and I joined the forum in June of 2000-I was eighteen at the time. Now at thirty, I love playin' the steel guitar like I did when I was eighteen. This year on Christmas Day, it'll be my twelfth year on steel guitar.

I am 71 and just retired from a band that was playing three days per week. The new country hurts my ears.

I'll be 74 in December. Still working in a band. Currently we are doing a show every Monday evening, starting the 1st we will also be doing a weekly Tuesday afternoon show and also doing other dance gigs such as a Halloween dance last night.

I did give up road jobs two years ago. I don't need that.
