"Here's a steel guitar class for children. The little lady on the left end of the top row
is barely bigger than her instrument, but she seems quite pleased about things
"And this photo seems to be from the same place on the same day -- it's Johnnie Lee
Wills and Leon McAuliffe with a bunch of kids, one of whom has a book of music by
Hawaiian steel guitarist Eddie Alkire

| I wish we still had places like this. I'm only 20, but I feel like I like how things were back in the day... Back before my day, that is. Things seem to be different now, and not all for better. |

I have a Lap Steel Guitar class at Berklee College of music in Boston. It's the only College level class I know of and every semester, at least 8 students per class sign up and learn how to play in a multitude of tunings and styles.
I started it back in '98 and if they don't own a Lap Steel they can just add a nut raiser to any guitar they want and still learn the basics of bar technique and picking. Many have really done well and become fans of Jerry and the rest of the greats on Lap Steel.
