Hello folks,
I've been lurking here since March, and already posted some since I got my membership last week (especially in Humor). Here's an attempt at a more official introduction.
I'm a young guitarist/singer who started messing around with a Morrell lap steel in 2004. Earlier this year the "steel bug" bit in earnest. I'm now up to four lap steels and a Dekley student model PSG (S10, 3+2). So far I'm a hack player, but I'm taking lessons on the Dekley with Rick McGrath here in Albuquerque. Soon I'll be a better-trained hack player. 
This intro is delayed because it's taken some time to work up the nerve to call myself a steel player.  I know the company I'm in here, so let's just say I'm here to learn. Thanks to b0b and all of you for contributing to this forum; it's an amazing resource. |

| Welcome Eric - it does grow on you. You'll learn a bunch of really good stuff and probably buy way too many toys, so enjoy! |

| Hi Eric, Welcome from Oklahoma! You can do your self good by joining your closest Steel Club. Tons of fellowship, you know, like "Hi , I'm Bob, and I'm a steelaholic." and much support for entry level players from those more experienced. |

Herb, Herb, Herb. Just because someone is different than you......
Anyway welcome Eric. I used to play at the Caravan in Albuquerque back in the '70's. You'll find a lot of great people here on the forum, even that Jim Cohen guy. Get his CD's you'll enjoy and learn from them. See ya Sunday Jimbeaux. |

Thanks, fellas.
Skip, as you can see, I'm well on my way. James, that's a great suggestion - I'll try to find a group of fellow steelaholics. Ben, the Caravan is still around; I may even stop in one of these days. Ron, thanks for the tip - by that standard, I qualify. (Or does it own me? The jury's out on that one.)
Jim, thanks for saying hi. I enjoy the music on your site.[This message was edited by Eric McEuen on 15 November 2006 at 09:43 PM.] |
