Sorry to raise the average, I am 60. Started standard guitar 1953, started PSG 1995. My hat is off to anybody who steps off the cliff. I hope I live long enough to do my Carter some justice.......scooter |

Yes, this is a very long topic, the longest ever for the Steel Guitar Forum. If someone would post an accurate tally, we could close it. I think enough people have contributed to get a reasonable average. |

I think I'll be 55 in July, but my daughters, nieces, and nephews think I act about 5. I don't care I'm a happy steel picker. |

I'm 33 and have been playing pedal steel since I graduated from High School in 1984, about 16 years. ------------------ [This message was edited by Michael T. Hermsmeyer on 05 March 2000 at 11:58 PM.] |

Last time we took this poll, the average was a little over 50. It's good that we're attracting more young people. The sales from the forum catalog reflect that, too. Rock artists like Dan Tyack and Joe Goldmark are selling really well - I can hardly keep them in stock. I'm going to close this topic now. Thanks, everyone, for the fun ride. ------------------ |
