>Hey everyone:
>Some of you may remember, back in the time frame of 2000-2003, getting a
>free weekly email from Tom Nelson / Dobro Player's Workshops called "Dobro
>Lick of the Week." This was a lot of fun -- once a week, a mini-tab of a
>dobro lick would show up in your InBox, along with a short explanation of
>where someone has used it (e.g., "Al Perkins opens with this lick on 'Back
>Street Affair' from John Prine's 'In Spite of Ourselves' CD"), or how you
>might use it (e.g., "This is a bluesy sounding phrase that works well as a
>fill, but can also add some spice to an otherwise average solo.").
>
>Those of us in Southern California met Tom when he moved here from Illinois
>after getting an ALS diagnosis, in order to be near his family. He's
>a super nice guy, and it's been a real life lesson to me to watch Tom
>continue to be a productive, contributing person even as ALS has stolen
>so many of his physical capabilities.
>
>One of Tom's dreams has been to pull together his "Licks of the Week" into
>book form, and fortunately, he was able to record them while he still had
>the ability to play the dobro. He then spent a very long time getting the
>text part of the book ready, and just as an example of the long effort he
>put into this, he sent me an email at one point that said, "At my current
>rate of blinking I expect to complete the manuscript in about two months."
>
>So the book is now completed: 69 plus licks, in a wire-bound book, plus a
>CD with a sound recording of each lick. (Note that the current format of
>the CD requires you to play it on your computer, but that shouldn't be a
>problem for most people, since it isn't the kind of music CD you would play
>in your car on a road trip -- the tracks are very short sound clips that
>let
>you hear how the lick sounds. So it's more of a reference tool.)
>
>Tom is using all proceeds from this book to help people with disabilities
>purchase needed equipment and supplies.
>
>How to get one if you're interested: Paul Beard has a supply of these
>books
>in stock, so you can order one from Resophonic Outfitters. The price is
>$20, and shipping (assuming this is the only thing in your order) is $4.95.

>If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to email me
>off-list: bettywheeler@gmail.com.
