I'm wondering if there are any other "LEOs" who are playing steel. And, I'm curious whether you use your real or an alternate stage name to keep from being recognized by former perps or arrestees who were in the audience, or ever run into a problem.

Rick,

I am retired and have been since '05. I never have, but I am playing for a southern gospel quartet...mostly in churches, and likely would never have a problem.

If I was still on the job and was playing in clubs, I would probably consider a stage name.

Yes, I have been a LEO for 15 years. I am learning to play, but wouldn't necessarily say that I am a steel player!!

25+ years, still young enough to retire & go on the road. Anyone need a good perennial sideman? Accordion, mando, dobro, harp, some guitar...oh ya, pedal steel & lap guitar.
No stage names for me, except when the band calls me something other than my name Embarassed
