| Hi everyone!! I wanted to intrduce myself. I've been a Steel fan since 1967.(Hope I'm not dating myself). I attempted to learn Steel about 20 years ago and got sidetracked; now I've decided to take the leap again. As you can see from the signature, I have a VERY understanding wife when it came to buying equipment. Now all I have to do is learn how to play. I've gotten much inspiration and lots of tips from all of your posts here on the Forum and I Thank You all for that. This is the most informative and friendly place I've ever seen. The only thing i bring to the table at this time is the strong desire to learn. Thanks Again and Greetings from Grantville, PA. (5 miles from Hershey) |

Hi JimP! Sorry, they won't let me have any. Said I already had too much in my contract.  Said I was an imposter cause I have a handlebar moustache. Go figure!! I guess now I'll have to take up coaching along with pedal steel.  |

Hello Jack! Thanks for the Welcome. What's your cousins name? I might know him or someone in my wife's family might. They've lived here for quite a long time and it seems everybody knows everybody else or belongs to a couple of large families in the Grantville area. You didn't move away because of our lovely taxes did ya? Come on back - we will soon have slot machines at Penn National and can use the extra cash!  |

Mike, I hate to say it but I don't remember my cousin's first name. The last time I saw him was probably early 50's. I've lost track of that part of the Stoner family. He's about the same age as me (I'm 67). He also has a sister but I don't remember her name either.
I moved from Pa because of work and don't get back too often anymore. |

Welcome aboard, Mike, from another new member to the forum but not to the PSG. Been playing for about ** years and still love it. There just is'nt anything more relaxing than to sit down and play. I especially like southern gospel music and I play a lot in churches around my neck of the woods.
God Bless,
