Here's a question about copyright. I want to perform a copyrighted song and record it to CD or MP3 file. I want to give it away to anybody who wants it. I make no money. Do I still have to send the pu ...

Lindley,

I've heard the Webb straps are good because the company makes one specifically for Dobro. Rob Ickes, among many others uses one.

Be warned about Folk of the Wood. I ordered one from them mo ...

Propik Reso. They are slanted slightly so you can dig in straight. They come in steel or brass. Propik claims the sound is different, but....

Patrick,

Thanks for the note. Nice to hear from another member of the Ickes family. How is the Wolf Mountain show? Is it at the Grass Valley fairgrounds?

RB

Bobby Black may give lessons. He's probably the best known and experienced pedal steel guitar player (he also plays Reso) in the Bay Area.

Glenn,
What's interesting about the CD is that Rob emulates the saxophone sound with the Dobro on jazz just like he emulates the banjo sound when he plays bluegrass. He's always pushing into new terri ...

I had the pleasure two weeks ago of spending about 12 hours taking Dobro lessons over three days from Rob Ickes at the California Bluegrass Association's music camp and festival in Grass Valley.

I have a Stevens, Shubb S-P 2and just bought a Scheerhorn from Ickes when he was at the California Blugrass Association's workshop. I like the Shubb a lot, esp. the round end that I use on lap steel. ...

Mark, you are right. If you want to see how far you can go with a Dobro, check out Rob Ickes' new CD "What it is." Even Douglas hasn't gone this far. BTW I took three days of lessons from Ickes two we ...

That was James Burton's signature kick-off to the recorded version of "Mama Tried" done on a Telecaster, I believe.

Jim,

You're probably right. My brother operated in mostly rural Tenn. and everybody there seemed to be helpful and professional on the phone. The SF Bay Area is very crowded and repeater time is scar ...

How about Bobby Black of San Francisco?

RB

Ickes has two videos out. They are excellent but aimed more at the beginning to intermediate player and introduce some very good basic music theory. Sounds like you're beyond that with your experience ...

David,
This is a little off topic, but not by far. When did you play the Cumberland Strip? I went to UT and lived on White Avenue. I remember going to a lot of the clubs, but can't remember the detail ...

Thanks for looking that up. I'm from East Tenn. and I always heard the term Wampus Cat or Whumpus Cat used but never knew the story behind it. It was always used in a similar way to the Boogie Man, as ...

Good point about the term folk music. I've heard that several times on old live recordings, too. So I think that was a common term in the 40s at least. It wasn't until the late 50s or early 60s, howev ...

Alvin,
Your folks and that building look a lot more respectable than the people and beer joints I saw in Tenn. Maybe beer joints and society were a notch higher on the social circuit in Okla.

RB

Carl,
Thanks for the advice. I've used a hi-fi deck for audio before and you're right. It's quality and no perceptible hiss like you get on cassette tapes.

RB

Having been raised in a county in East Tennessee that until recently was dry, I was taught that beer joints were the dens of sin and debauchery. "I heard that he hangs out in the beer joints," or "Som ...

Steve,
Sounds like there might be an interesting story behind Dolly firing you. Care to relate it?

RB

Thanks Jim. I'll check into it.
