I'd like to start a list of steel players that was born in the state of Kansas. This is for promotional purposes. If you were born in Kansas, that makes you a Jayhawker. It doesn't matter if you don't live here now or moved away when you were small. Let me know where you were born and what year. Also, how long that you've been playing the steel guitar. All help would be appreciated.
P.S. I know that Kansas is part of
Ar(kansas) but that don't count.
