Gee Tommy,
For an "x-ojnab" picker, you express yourself pretty well. But this is a
reso-list, the steel guitar list is across the hall....
Of course I've got a friend in upstate N.Y., Brad Higgins, I think he's got a
web-site, who's actually built a totally acoustic pedal dobro. I think I
remember it's got that "combination" tuning on it that you can get the best parts
of C6th, and E9th on. Didn't you play that one time Tom, c'mon, fess up?
Running for cover,
