Hey folks, Jonathan (aka Dobroplayer) here. Well it seems that it is time for an update so I hope you like the
changes. Reasons for the update...well, it was time and I had the time.
I have also changed the format of the tunes
so that you don't have to wait forever to hear them. I put them all in Real Audio format so that with
any fairly good connection (28.8 or better) the songs will play live. The only catch is that you have
to have the Real Player (it's free and you should have it, click the button on the "Stuff You Need" page to get it).
Also, by converting the tunes to this format...I now have some web space to post some new tunes. I am working on a few right now and will put them out here for all to hear shortly. As always keep the e-mails coming and I'll respond right away. If you have any requests, I'll be happy to give them a shot. Thanks for all the support...Dobroplayer
My InspirationWell
this night the show was a singer that I had never heard of at the time called Maura O'Connell. Her band
consisted of Edgar Meyer on bass, Russ Barenberg on guitar, and Jerry douglas on the dobro. As I watched
that show with my jaw on the floor, I knew I would never be happy until I learned to play the dobro.
This solo by Jerry about halfway through the show just knocked me out and was/is the reason I have to play
this great instrument. I made this recording from the videotape of the show. As you can tell it has been played
over and over, but it still sounds good. The clip is about six minutes formatted in Real Audio. I hope you like
it.
