Boat owners have a saying:
"A boat is a hole in the water which you throw money into"
Anyone have a clever version for the steel? I'll start it off with a not very good one I just made up:
"Steel guitars have 10 strings which are used to tie your money up"

Some people get high on music,
Some get high in a bar
Only thing I get high on,
Is me and my ole steel guitar.

| By the time you learn to play it, you're too old to play it. Or at least...too old to carry it. |

Steel guitars are like Lays Potato chips. You're not satisfied with just one.

"The happiest day of my life is when I bought my boat... the second happiest day of my life is when I threw my Sho~Bud Crossover into the hole in the water."
Yeah, I know it's a mixed metaphor, but it somehow rings true.

The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being. |

Switching from pedal steel to regular guitar is like having sex with a real woman and then going back to the inflatable plastic dummy. But it is true that the first twenty years were difficult...
