I have to add that the performance on this date was very well attended. I was asked to play back-up for the award winning singer/songwriter Nora Collins (noracollins.com) . Her material consists of all original songs she wrote and she is basically a solo artist doing what I would call folk/country tunes. Most of the time she uses a capo and plays in odd-ball keys with lots of minors injected in her work. For me, the challenge was to decipher on stage instantly when the chord changes would occur. Her guitar work consists of strumming with a beat as I would describe it. I used a Shure SM-81 directional mike which when dialed in at the board was sufficient to carry the reso throughout the entire room. Her guitar was plugged into the board as well as her vocal mike. I found this experience a very pleasurable one in that I was to be able to transpose instantly from one key to another without no difficulty. Having played dobro for 65 years and all my experience in doing so was a great help to augment this vocalists songs. I am sure I will be asked to accompany her in future shows and look forward to the challenges ahead.

I am also on Facebook and Twitter. Check out my blogs on my home page.. Been playing Dobro since 1951..Stage,Radio, Television,Recording Studio Specialist...country,blues...folk,..rock. ..also pedal steel guitarist with 2 Sho-Bud heavily modified pedal steel guitars...one single neck (3X8)..one OPRY Steel ( 10X8)..I.always reply to e-mails...at tom165mph@yahoo.com. ...numerous recordings on private labels...since 1965 . 4 different dobros..1934,1982 2012..2014... Have not played pedal steel in over a year. Burned out after 55 years of playing it. Now concentrating on getting the best sound with my four resos...And how different cones react to different strings. Curly maple VS mahogany VS all others... This could take a lifetime !! Did Opry touring package shows in 1966-1967..
