A question: How does one count? What do we do about gaps in our slack key history, like for a few years out for surgery recovery :-( or just doing something else?
So, start to finish or actual time playing?

| I'd assume we're talking about from the time you started to present. If you'd like to measure your time excluding certain periods of non-playing, etc, just post a comment of clarification. |

I've actually been playing slack key for about 2 1/2 years but there was no 2-3 year range in the poll. So I had to lie and vote 1-2 years.

Is the voting mechanism working? I got sent to a page that says I can't view results until I vote--which was what I thought I was doing.

Russell,
You are probably using an outmoded browser  (like I was on the last poll). |

| The polls seem to be working for most, but there may be some kinks to iron out still. What browser and version are you using Russell? |

Yeah, I use Netscape 4.7, which I prefer to think of it as "stable and reliable" rather than "obsolete" (that's a joke, son, but a serious one).
I fired up MSIE and got the link to work.

| Playing slack key in a group plus this site turned me on to ukulele so I've been ignoring my guitars lately. I think I overstated how long I've been playing, too. |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

I had the same problem as Russell (old Netscape), but came up with the same solution thanks to his tip/experience. Almost two years of slack key on steel string, and slightly over a week on nylon(!).
