Come this april 5, I will celebrate the 30th anniversary of my 38th birthday  Actually I am 37, stand 6 feet 2 inches tall, have coal black hair, have baby blue eyes and weigh exactly 185 lbs, and built like a cross between Arnold Swhartzinegger (SP) and Silvester Stallone, look just like Tom Selleck, and can play the PSG better than either BE and PF combined, with my hands tied behind me, half asleep. Or at least that is what I would write in my profile and tell the ladies, IF, I was single and visited the "chat" rooms on aol. Not really folks, God bless you all, carl |

Forty of you including my man who's almost 34 added up to 1869 years. If I'm correct I divided that by 40 and came up with an average age of 46 years.That is of course assuming you all gave your real age, what about you Earnest ? |

72 this August. Briefly played a Rickenbacker lap steel 45 years ago and now attempting to recover what I never learned then. Traded the lap steel for baby formula. My wife insists I'm crazy but she was part of the problem at that time, still is even now.  |

I'm 54. Started playing steel at age 33. It is my goal to survive another hundred years, by which time I may have this thing figured out. |

Well, if you MUST know ;-) I'm 38, with just 5 months of steel-playing under my belt (and 25 years of 6-string-playing), but you just wait and see - I'll hang in here, the steel has GOT me HOOKED !! Ole |

I hate to mess up the average, but I'm 12 and have been playing the Steel Guitar for 2 years. By the time I get to be ya'll's average age (especially Bill Ferguson's), I'll be the only steel player in the country!  [This message was edited by Jonathan Cullifer on 27 February 2000 at 03:40 PM.] |

70, but my friends all tell me I don't look a day over 69. Hi Jonathon, met you and heard you in Saluda, S.C. You were GREAT. I will not play "SG Rag" if you are in the room. Keep up the good work. I was the old guy with the pony tail. Tell your dad "hi". ------------------ |

51 in May and just ordered a new Carter D-10. After 17 years on E-9, I realized I wasn't going to make it to the Opry, so common sense dictated that I try it on C-6. |
