Hi All, Just joined the site as I have bought a lap steel.....69 yrs old and been playing guitar, bass & piano pro & semi pro since I was ten....but this is my first venture into your world!...
main reason is because I record backing tracks in my home studio and a lot of the songs are country style and need that unique sound....pedal steel would be better of course, but more costly and I want to see how I get on first...
anyway....hi to everyone and I'll be joining in sooner than later....Cheers, Paul....
