I love it Ricky. I do not remember who it was but there was a Forum member who had a saying at the bottom of his comments. "Prevent child delinquency, teach your children to steel".

My sons will play most everything I have in the house: guitars, basses, mandolin, uke, etc. I have never seen them touch either the pedal steel or the dobro. There are days when I wish I had never touched a pedal steel, but I keep coming back.
