Interesting point. Or, we could all be "Steelies" like the catchy term they use in the UK.

I've heard that Jenee Fleenor is a fiddlist, so why can't we steel guitarists be known as steelists? We're either called steelers, steel players, steel pickers, steel guitar players or steel guitarists, but steelist sounds awesome!

What's the difference? A rose by any other name would still have thorns that tear your flesh when you try to pick it.
LOL..that's like a pun.."pick it" |

The real question is, since I've decreed that the instrument should be renamed "TIFKATPSG" (The Instrument Formerly Known As The Pedal Steel Guitar), should we be called TIFKASTPSGISTS or TIFKATPSGERS?

I think "steeler" is better, Mike.
Otherwise a worker in a microbiology lab would have to be called a "cellist", and a body-shop repairman would be a "dentist". |

Nothing happens for long on the instrument without the bar, so might we be barists? Of course, if you get a gig in a high end coffee shop, then you'd be a barist playing for the barristas.  |

But, do we really make music with the steel? If that's the case, then yes, we are steelists. But, we actually make our music using a steel bar on a guitar.
Hey. Wait a minute! I just came up with a great name for us.
Steel Guitarists!
Whadaya think? Would it ever catch on? |

Steel Guitarist Mike?....... Next thing you know, someone might want to start a magazine with that name and no one would ever want that. Oh I forgot, that happened about thirty years ago didn't it....JH in Va.

I still find it hard to write the word copedant with a straight face.
"sharing my copedant" makes me feel like I am a part of a mutually interacting society of pedants
mmm...
