I just got some photos of my new dobro from Richard Deneve before it goes to the
finisher on Wed this week , just seeing the photos was a great Christmas gift :
blond maple with koa & abalone trim all around large double snow flakes to 12 and triple flakes on up to a point. have not seen the Beard gold hard wear yet but the koa is natural gold color with a white Calton case to ship it home in.
The next dobro get to get together is Resomania at Wintergrass I think.
I hope everyone has a great dobro Christmas and happy New Year
Tooooooooooooooooooooooo (slide)

Some thoughts for great holiday presents for resonator guitarists:
We need a way to get/stay in touch with dobro players of all levels,
abilities and interests. Around the world. A "place" to learn the music, the
history and the possibilities of this fine and wacky instrument, and to
share our common appreciation of resonator guitarists and their music. (Oh,
I guess Poob took care of that one.)
What about an annual dobro get-together. It could include the best players
on the planet and pickers from across North America. It could be held on a
beautiful gothic campus in Nashville, and each evening we could see top
bands perform. (Oh, that's right, I was at ResoSummit. Thanks to Rob and
Betty, and those excellent teachers.)
Well, we could use some good regional dobro workshops led by an excellent
teacher who explains it all (including theory) really clearly. (Wait a
minute; Jimmy Heffernan's been doing that as well as anyone could).
Instruments. We need some really good builders, and choices for different
budgets, tastes and styles. (Done. That's Paul Beard, Tim Scheerhorn and a
host of other luthier-magicians.)
Well, Santa or not, it looks like we're well taken care of. Thanks again to
those mentioned above, plus all the rest of you coneheads out there who make
playing the dobro so much fun. Best wishes for a happy, healthy 2008.
Andy
