Jim...
That is exactly how my dobro-playing career started....for better or worse! ;-)
I don't know the answer to your pick question - I think a lot of it is
personal choice. I will say that ProPik makes picks that already have
some angle in them, and that you are correct, it is better tone-wise
to hit the strings as straight-on as possible. This may require
altering hand position, or pick adjustment.
Since you're near Nashville, I would highly recommend a lesson with
Mike Witcher who has recently moved there. An occasional lesson with
him should generally help your progress, as well as correct any bad
habits you may be developing.
HTH,
Lee
