The year indicated is the first year I played with that band and does not indicate when, and if, I stopped playing with them.

I didn't purchase my first pedal steel guitar until the end of 1993, so in all bands before that, I played guitar, bass, keyboards, or a combination of them. After that point, I played at least some steel in most of the bands indicated, and many of them about 50% or more on pedal steel guitar.

There were three totally different versions of the band "Joy". I would estimate that there were another dozen or so one-nighters throughout the years, but I don't recall the names of the bands.

That would bring the total number of bands to approximately 70.
