If we added all the years of musical experience from everyone who frequents this great forum, wonder how many years exprience we would have? I am brand new almost to PSG but I can count the 2 years that I took lessons on that old lap steel. So thats 2 whole years for me  How long you boys been at this? Wonder who has the most years by now.

61 years total. Started at age 4. 52 years professonally. Hell, I don't think I'm any better than I was at 10 or 11,,,,probably not as wise either....  Had a lot of fun though. Enjoy playing now more than ever.

No Grand Cru, Crowbear. Probably a non-vintage 3 liter jug!
So, how far are you from St. Emillion? I use to suck down some great red from a small vineyard, Chateau Lescours. Their product hasn't been around here in a long time and I'm well overdue for a fill up. And yes, please administer any spell check where needed!

If my math is better than my steel playing these days I must have started when Gene Jones did. I started with Montgomery Ward
6 string lap steel in November of 1946 & wanted to make those fills like the guy on Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. His radio program.(Was that the name of it?) I said I wished I knew that tuning & Bobbe's Dad (my brother) said it sounds like a minor chord to me. I later found it to be the C# min tuning by cranking up the B (2nd string) to C#.
