Primarily pop tunes in solo pedal steel arrangements, and a live jazz tune, yours truly settin' in with a small combo...

If you do take the opportunity to listen, please let me know what you think.
Other examples are in the MP3 section of the Last Train Home website, link in my signature

| All three are great, and that's a pretty fat tone for a Vibro Champ on the 1st one! |

Thanks! and yeah it was surprisingly fat for a VC on the broadcast;low volume, close mic'd- I love that li'l amp (my wife found it at a yardsale for a mere pittance) it mic's as large as a Twin and is soooo much lighter

| Great sound, Dave! That's the type of tone that so many players (Weldon, Hal, Buddy, and Ralph) had back in the '60s, and (sadly), the type of tone you just don't hear anymore on the radio. It helped make them famous! |

| I listened to the first tune. Sounds very nice! Interesting about the tune. I was just watching the Judy Garland story last night on PBS. |

Hey Dave....very, very nice!!! Really cool playing on one of my all time favorite jazz ballads! Just for the record, "We'll Be Together Again" was co-written by Frankie Lane(of "Mule Train" & "Rawhide" fame), and his accompanyist/band leader, Carl(not Clare)Fischer.
It was so nice to get to hear your playing!

The middle tune with the pod sound for me the best.It sound so sweet and comes very close to a twin.Much lighter.
I have a V-amp and use the Twin setting for steel also at home.Sound rally close.
Love it.

Bumping this up to say I have added another tune to the list:
Click here then scroll down to
"You're Stronger Than Me"
-written by Hank Cochran/Jimmy Key, originally recorded by Patsy Cline,- a LIVE recording of me at the '99 PSGA Show, playing to a MIDI track of my own creation. It's audio from a videotape, a little tinny and the mix is odd, but I wanted to share it anyway...
Dedicated to Jimmy Day who had passed away earlier that year...

Bumping this up to say I have added yet another tune to the list:
Click here then scroll down to
"If I Only Had A Brain". Yup-Harold Arlen's tune from "The Wizard of Oz". This is from trumpeter Kevin Cordt's new CD "Kevin Cordt Quartet Live at Iota Club and Cafe" just released this month
it's a larger file than some others (7+ MB) but if you have the time or the bandwidth you may enjoy it.
Thanks for listening, and "If You Like It, Tell Us About It , Won't You?"[This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 09 June 2004 at 10:52 AM.] |

Bumping to announce two new cuts- exerpts of Very Ruff Mixes from a recent recording session I did for my pal and Last Train Homie Bill Williams. I used my '73 ZB Custom thru my '68 Twin Reverb (currently with Weber California 15")
the tunes are:
S.Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer"
Connie Francis' "My Heart Has A Mind of it's Own"
Click on the link Below and then scroll down to "Country Rock Lives-Part 2!" for links to the mp3's
http://dvanet.net/dva_audio.html
and if you haven't listened to any of the other stuff linked on that page you may do that too if you are so inclined...
and as always
"If you like it, tell us about it won't you?"
