Frankenfurter says the EPA is asking for the public’s help in stemming the decline of the endangered species. “And their threat to steel guitar players is even greater than that of the pop artists.” “They’re called country rap performers,” Frankenfurter explains. But now a new invasive species has dramatically accelerating the steel guitar player’s decline in numbers. Frankenfurter says that the primary threat to steel guitar players for years has been an invasive species known as the pop artist, pushing steel guitar players out of their native environment. “From the deep South and the greater Southeast region, to Texas, to parts of California, steel guitar players are seeing an intrusion of invasive species encroaching on their native territory, stealing their food sources.” “Steel guitar players are facing a real challenge to their native environment,” says EPA spokesperson Melinda Frankenfurter.


The EPA defines an endangered species as “one facing a very high risk of extinction.” The ruling comes as the number of steel guitar players continues to decline to alarmingly low levels. The Environmental Protection Agency has just given an increasingly-rare form of American musician known as the steel guitar player the ominous distinction of being an endangered species.
