Great article Bob, I really love listening to Donna Hammitt. I wonder if she is still playing?

| Donna Hammitt's steel teacher was Stoney Stonecipher, the man who got me started playing steel! |

I just today made a discovery that most likely all of you already were aware of......
Donna Hammitt......... what a fine steel player she is. Lot's of taste but even more.......she has a great style and technique.
Hope to hear more of her playing. THANKS Bob1 |

The article wasn't meant to be a complete list of female steel guitarists. It's just the five that the author has noticed most in her years of following country music. Many country fans aren't aware that there are any women playing steel.
I say, if it inspires just one teenage girl to take up the instrument, that's a good thing. I suspect it will do more than that.
